Comment:

This mix brings me back to the late '80s to when I was suffering from an obsession over someone that I thought was the love of my life. It was more complicated than this mix depicts but, since it was pretty personal, I'll let the music speak for me instead. One song that unfortunately didn't make it onto the mix was Billy Vera and The Beaters' "At This Moment" (1981 #79, 1987 #1).

Looks like a great story, Joe. I'm a sucker for a romantic tale.
