Comment:

While this is not the history of music during my lifetime, it is kind of the history of my music. You can spot trends. The classics of my youth. Male Adolescent Hormonal Music in High School. New Wave in College (Punk came slowly to the Midwest). Little Girl Voices were my Middle age Crisis. The influence of WDVX. The Beginning of the influence of you and the Art of the Mix. Thanks for listening.

This is sort of like Richard Thompson's 1000 Years of Popular Music condensed into one half-century. Diggin' it.

Wow...a rich personal history of music, for certain. May you enjoy fifty more. Like the Waits, Kaisers, Jim White, Cohen, and Greg Brown especially.

You have the same birthday as my oldest daughter, but she only gets the last nine songs. I wonder how she'll feel about Tom Waits, then? :) Happy birthday.

Happy B'day, Tom! Looks like you had a seduction phase there in the late 80's. Enjoy the next half-century.

Grace Jones would be the only thing I might not like her, but hell (to Barry), it is not our life. Many of these look like they came right out of my library.
