Comment:
I've never written a diary. Lately though, I realise I've been treating AotM as such a thing.As a youngster, on many occasions I would delve into my mothers record collection ( The Beatles, Moody Blues, Spencer Davis Group, Traffic & the Walker Brothers dominated ). She probably had 80 to 100 albums, not bad going for the time. None of them were dated past 1976. Infact over the past 30 years she's probably bought 5 Cds ( she definitely owns Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1, quite a good album I think, still waiting for vol 2. Parachutes is in there as well, nice enough I suppose. ). I've often asked why she stopped bothering with music. I came along and her prorities changed apparently. Rubbish. Not having it.
My point is quite simple. Since my girl arrived six weeks ago I'm hearing music everywhere. She's my number one love, but music will always be there. I, and she, wouldn't have it any other way! Little Ava also inspired this, thanks Baby.

Feedback:
Fantastic.
This looks wonderful!
Splendid Sammy. Love the Wire through Fleetwood Mac run especially. Glad to read that Ava will be enhancing rather than supplanting your love of music.
Ah yes, kids and music. When my son was a toddler he broke the tone arm on my turntable. However, many years later he bought me an iPod. (-:
Beautiful picks here. I have always dug Love Potion No. 9, and obviously "Three Girl Rhumba" is a salute to the Beat Girls.
Per your title, I always associate that phrase with "Sugar Magnolia" by the Dead, but that is not here so I am wondering if there is another context?
As always, best to the young family.
I enjoy reading your diary! And I will certainly enjoy listening to this, too.
As for your mother and the priorities thing - I don't know, the same thing seems to have happened to my parents, and I guess I am having it. My mother's priorities have started to change back a couple of years ago, my father's very very recently, and it's a beautiful thing to witness for me. Especially as I can even claim some of the credit for that, while I can blame my older brother for derailing their priorities in the first place ;) Still, good to see, of course, that you're not getting off the right track!

great collection of stuff. You know, 1976 is a point where I notice music starts to get a little dull, disco, soft rock etc.
Very, very nice, Sammy (even though Frankie Valli's voice makes my skin crawl, I'm sorry to say). Super-cool mix and notes. I'm with Curtis on the Ava-music sentiment. And I'm with Ed in that I thought I'd see the Dead here (not a bad thing when the track in question was released pre-1974).
lubbly jubbly . . . great cover too . . . although where is Ava ?
Superb stuff. This fatherhood lark suits you mate.
Beautifully done and suitably inspired, Sammy. 4,7,9,11,17 and 18 hit me especially.
Just in time for mum's day - hope your's gets to listen to this and enjoys it. My mom was a folk groupie and junkie in the 60s. She helped organize the Chicago Folk Festival and such. She's still into music, but she isn't the junkie she used to be either. Both my parents remember the 70s as a big let down after growing up with such classic music. Maybe it's a decade that's improved with age though?
Very sweet stuff.
little ava is not just the cutest little thing i've just about ever seen, but also a wonderful muse -- this is EXCELLENT, sammy, absolutely gorgeous...
I just realized "folk groupie and junkie" should probably just read "folk groupie" referring to my mom.
Nice collection.
My old man recently gave me all his vinyl, he now just listens to whatever I send his way, which amazes me cos he used to be a DJ! I turned to punk to escape his musical influence, so I dread to think what my kids will do to escape whatever musical influence I may exhert upon em ha ha. As ever Sammy this is top notch, I'm looking to you for inspiration post September mon ami.
I'll just say I agree with what others have said, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to use AotM as a kind of diary. Keep on keepin' on.
Gave a listen to this last night, and WOW, this is pop brilliance. 11 into 12 is just perfect.
Moody Blues, Astrud, The Byrds are hitting home. Digging the font and graphics too!
I've had this on during the old commute and it's fab, pop greatness. My parents listened exclusively to Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull and a smattering of Queen, so not that diverse to begin with.
Post-me they stopped buying new music altogether and now it's just Classic FM as musical wallpaper!

Dreamy, sunny, bliss.
Oh, this looks great. Phoenix into Byrds, Wire into Montreal... Thanks for the download!
I somehow missed this one when it was first posted. Must have been the week I was in the coma. Not one bad song in this eclectic selection of songs -- a perfect 1-23 stretch.
I'm a little late to this party too. this is one of my favorites of yours, Sam. numbers 2 & 3 are really great, I haven't heard that wonderful Moody Blues song in such a long time. you've also reminded me how much I miss Everything But the Girl, a group I listened to a lot in the late '80s (what a voice!) and the Peter Sarstedt is nice too. but I especially like the meowing of the Georgie Fame track. life really is too short to give up the enjoyment of music for any length of time at all. great work on this one, Sam and Ava.
