Comment:

"Keep your sunny side up!" a gin-fuelled Lee Sutton instructs. This is for a dear friend who will soon be going into (the) hospital for a bit of surgery. Here are a few songs to hopefully amuse, bemuse, distract, uplift, or otherwise entertain him both pre- and post-op. I hope the rest of you will enjoy it too! Et voila: part 1 and part 2 .

Excellent. A great listen. Favourites included 2,4,11,12,21 & the closer. I was hoping the Judy Mackenzie pick would be a cover of the Howard Jones classic, that would've been great. And I never knew there were no crocodiles in Cocody....

I greatly enjoyed listening to this; it was entertaining and uplifting. Two names caught my attention when I scanned the tracklist: Francis Bebey, and Bruno Sp÷ri. Francis Bebey apparently sometimes uses Pygmy yodeling in his recordings, but I have never heard it. Unfortunately this song didn't have any yodel--but I enjoyed it, nevertheless. The other name, Bruno Sp÷rri, is familiar because he is a Swiss guy. Interesting that he shows up on this mix.

Didn't know anything but the Jamal track until I downloaded. Quite an adventure! Really like 3,4,10,12,14, and 20 and the closer is one of the oddest things i have ever heard, strangely intriguing. Well Done!

A mix made with the precision of a surgeon. Hope this helps your friend get through his operation with a smile on his face and a scar on his stomach (or back, or knee or thigh). Lovely handmade cover too.

I always look forward to your mixes.... Having some kind of technical glitch right now, however, and can't download for immediate gratification (boo). I WILL be back, though: it WILL be mine!

Another great mix. I especially like the Marc Moulin, Charles Wright, Love and Ahmad Jamal picks. Quailty as usual.
