Recover accidently deleted all of my own original music

I was singing and writing/recording with bands since the early 80's. Years ago I had a friend convert all of my recordings from analog to digital CD and I had downloaded them all onto Apple iTunes. I've always enjoyed having my music in the palm of my hand.

Yesterday, I was organizing all my songs on different playlist and finally got them just perfect with a nice pic of the band in the cover pic. After hours of making these playlist, they were perfect but there were all these unknow playlist left over and me with my OCD traits proceeds to delete them all. Once I was finished with that I went back to my wonderful organized playlist and when I opened it up...ALL, THE, MUSIC, WAS, GONE! OMG

You can probably imagine my surprise and immediately started to panic and hyperventilate from this huuuuuge mistake. I've looked everywhere, even the cloud. Can someone please help this old rocker trying to hold on to his you through his phone. Ugh

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash - Apple Community. Do the files exist on any old computer, device, external drive, etc? Were they on your computer before the incident, or only stored in the iCloud Music Library as part of an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription? If they were on the computer have you checked in the recycle bin? If they (or at lease some) were deleted directly and don't show in the bin you might try something like https://kickassundelete.sourceforge.net/.
