Got the day off...and I'm DIGGING this. You have such a great perspective in regards to choosing and sequencing music. Completely enjoyable, intriguing and rewarding listens, time after time. Much thanks!!!!And, that ending trio on side 2 is the work of genius, imho.

Love it. What a great track for an opener - it's been ages since I heard Ralph McTell.

Ok, so Blondie into Tennessee Ernie Ford is my new favorite transition ever. Nice Rawls and Strawbs picks also.

So, the bohannons miss your zips eh? I don't think I want to know any more. Alex, after an afternoon digesting this mix I can honestly say It's up there in the top 3 of your mixes. And that is saying something. Loved the Mctell opening, OMD & Lou Rawls along with the Tennesse - Cocteau stretch. Baby liked the Ethel Smith & Zvuki Mu ( she was kicking away! ). Vic loved each & every track. Wonderful, thankyou :)

Okay, so far I've only listened to the first half, but it's just so damn good I had to comment immediately in case the site goes down or something. I think Sammy's analysis is right on the money -- this one ranks right up there with Hexisea Bidentata and Caramba. The Judy Lynn -> M Ward and the Blossom Dearie -> Della Reese stretches are especially gorgeous. And I love the bonus track... I used to put stuff like that at the end of my tapes. In closing, I think the forlorn recipient of this mixtape will be knee deep in daisies by the end of side one. It sure worked for me!

I just finished listening to this mix and can report that I am, indeed, feeling better, and have very little doubt that it had the same effect on the original recepient. Congratulations on the very well-deserved MotW title, too!

This is tremendous, good sir, and I'm with the others on its ranking high in your personal canon. Hell, even your token "guilty pleasure" pick (Blondie) is a fine song! ;-)

I've only listened to the second half thus far, but it was so electrifying I had to take a break before I have a seizure. I'm nutty as a fruitcake over "Clapping Hands", "Happy Go Lucky Me", "Vino Una Ola", "Vente Conmigo", "Sweet Leilani", and "Oh How She Changed". Congratulations on a well-earned mix of the week!

That M. Ward song is so pretty, and sounds so good with your other stuff. Congrats, and warm thoughts to the recipient. You are the Puget Soundmaster.
