Comment:

I guess you can consider this a follow-up to a mix I made when I was courting my current girlfriend.It chronicles the first year of our relationship, which had it's ups-and-downs due to geography (NYC & FL,) and professions (tour manager & student.)It encompasses the early feelings of love and commitment, as well as the melancholy of loving someone an ocean away.When we became more serious, it was obvious the relationship wouldn't work if we couldn't see each other on a regular basis, so I left NYC to live with her.One major obstacle was getting used to the vicious cycle of returning home to acclimate myself, only to leave weeks or days later.She's an amazing woman, with the energy of a hurricane, and I count my blessings everyday I get to be with her, in the eye of her storm.Every song of this mix contains a little bit of us both.Enjoy!!

this looks like a really tremendous listen - the opener, the 8-10 stretch, tracks 12, 14, 15 & 18 are all tops in my book. the al green is particularly a favorite, one of my top 10 all-time. good luck with your relationship, as well...

Bugger, I had just gotten that Feist song out of my head (catchy tune that it is) and now here it rears its head again. :) A lot of great stuff on here, making me happy.

Some great tunes to be found here. Nice sentiments in the comments, as well. (Hint, though: Never use the term "current girlfriend," as it suggests you view her as simply the latest in a series and contemplate the possibility of a future [different] girlfriend. Just saying.)

Nice. The much praised opening act bores me, but I like most of the other stuff on here,. It's cool to discover the song that was sampled for Nuthin But A G Thang.

I just finished listening to this and was on the verge of e-mailing to thank you for sending it and to say that it has already become one of my favorites of yours when... shazam!... I see that it is, in fact, officially, an award-winning mix. Good to see that I have such good taste in mix-making partners. All best to you & your sig. other/muse....

I've been in a few storms such as you write about. They all had their moments. I liked every song in the mix (which is nearly impossible) with the exception of Feist. Can't see what all the fuss is about her, but that's just me. Nice work.
