Great year, I was at my sexual peak-just didn't know what to do with it.
Alot of favorites here, especially the CSN, Van and Zappa. Another great year and great job.
This is fuggin' fantastic through and through. Great choice of opener!
This is quite the series, chaps. Most excellent.
another great installement
Yes, another wonderful mix from a great series. Super picks again well... maybe not that wincing bj which IMHO nearly ruined a perfect movie.
Great choices from a year with many to choose from. Forgot all about #15. And don't remember 9, 13, 14 and 22. Thanks for all.
Like what you've included here. Nice job.
Essential!
another great entry in the series. dear old teddy wilson, eh.
A(nother) good year for the music..!
Another top almanac.
really, really nice!
Looks brilliant - you've outdone yourselves once again. I don't think this would be complete without Lola, so great to see that here, and the S&G and Nick Drake are definitely among my favourites. And I second Mr. Conroy on the opener!
do you realize that it's been over a year since anyone posted an Edison Lighthouse song on this site? especially like 1,9,14,21. you're helping me gain appreciation for things I'd already dismissed as "not really my thing" in the past. a nifty mix here.
Thanks for visiting the year of my nativity. An uncertain time socially, politically, and otherwise, to be sure. Your brilliant setlist proves that wonderfully. Cheers!
