Comment:

I've been feeling very ill of late, with headaches I can't seem to quell (all part and parcel of this disease called MS I've been saddled with). I mustered up the strength and energy to do this, but it was a chore just to sit at the computer and put this together. Again, there's nothing fancy with the links -- just a bunch of tunes to order as you see fit. : )

1-14



15-30

P.S.

If I've missed or not commented on a recent mix it is because I've not be able to. I've no doubt excellent mixes have been posted, and I will attempt to do what I can to check them out if and when I can.

Tremendous mix/show. Generous links. You are quite the noble spirit of AOTM personified. I'm not a religious person, Leif, but my Mum has a "special" relationship with St. Anthony, it seems; So she's doing her bit. For my part, I wish you well, and may the "good" days heavily outweigh the "bad".

Man, I hope you feel better as well. Just listened to the first half of this mix, and I'm really liking that Manu Dibango track. Will listen to that second half over the weekend.

I've been eagerly waiting for the second installment of the Little Island Radio Show. How was the first one received on the island, btw? This one again has many great instrumentals, and its teasingly eclectic.

I'm very sad to hear about the MS. From the little I know about this disease, there is not much one can do about it. I think Nomates said it best: May your good days heavily outweigh the bad.

Thanks everyone for their kind words! I think I might have embarrassingly misspoke about my ailments of late being MS-related, as the medical advice I received suggested it might have been virus related. In short, I'm now very much on the mend, thankfully. Perhaps in part to all your kind thoughts, gents. Gracias.

Oh wow! this is killer. I'm bummed I missed seeing this while the links were active. Actually, I'm bummed I hadn't noticed your mixes earlier, as they all seem to be stellar. The back-to-back quartets on this, the Lambchop, and the Tony Bennett are all inspried choices. Hope you're feeling better.
