The Best of All Possible Worlds – Cate’s CD Club Mix

The CD mix I’m working on for my friend Cate’s CD Exchange Club. I still need to finish the liner notes, print them all out and slice up the paper to fit the cases, burn the CDs, and put everything together. And I’m considering substituting in a different song from Hogeye Naavy for one song or another. The picture included is a sculpture in Münster, Germany, where Cate lives. Every ten years, Münster holds an art festival in which sculptures are installed throughout the city. The best become permanent parts of the city landscape.

Good Morning! Song to sing early in the morning

I made a couple different versions of this CD, and added some songs to it later. Originally I made this for my friends Mia and Ria, because they were talking about how Mia is a morning person and Ria isn’t. Mia likes to get up and putter around the house singing in the morning. So I thought I’d give her some songs to sing.

80’s Music From Doug

98 compilation CDs. 662 Artists. 1352 Songs, 3.7 Days worth of music. 7.28 GB of disk space. Of course, there are duplicate songs, so the numbers on the final count will change, and I have quite a few 80’s CDs in my own collection. I still have to add the collections together and eliminate duplicates. And assess what might be missing.
But it’s going to be a kick-ass 80’s party. We’re looking at early October…
And Dan and Doug’s 70’s party will be Saturday, July 17th. Let me know if you want to attend. It’s the 10th Annual, so Doug and Dan have the music perfect every time.
