Mix CD 7/15/2010

One of my favorite things to do is listen to music in my car.  It just sounds better when it can be a little bit louder and it surrounds you in such a small space.  I also think the reaction to it is genuine since I drive most of the time by myself and I've got nothing else to do but drive, sitting there and listening.  I'm also a big fan of the mix CD, even though I'm trying to end this by upgrading to an Ipod relatively soon.  Until then, I make these mix CDs every couple of months with the sole intent being to listen to them in my car.  These end up being the songs I really love.  I thought I'd share these mix CDs here.  So without any further ado here is the first installment.
