The MOTHER Of All Mix Tapes!

A while back I had a little contest. 8 people who read my blog sent in 8 songs that they like and I have created mix CDs for each of them which they have received via snail mail. Hopefully each of them is enjoying their music as I type! What I didn’t do is send them a track listing of the music they are listening too. What idiot would do that, you ask? Well…I would. And here’s why: if they don’t know the song and artist, they can’t pre-judge the music! This way, they will listen with an open mind and possibly find a new artist that they have never heard before or maybe they get to hear an old song they love that they haven’t heard in a while! Either way…it’s a win/win situation! For the record, I used all different artists on every CD. No artist or band was featured twice on any of the disks. And that was MY challenge! But now I am gonna list them all for you (AND for Twenty-Four At Heart who sent in a list, but wanted just a playlist…no CD), so that if those of you who got a disk want to know your track listing, it’s right here…PLUS…if you are interested in even more tracks, you can go check out the artists featured on the other CD’s that I sent out! It’s a music extravaganza!!! So here are the songs that you all got…
