Comment:

This is the second installment in my exploration of songs where "IT's" the thing (most of these songs ended up being left out of the first mix due to time constraints). Playing time is 69m42s. The average year of the songs used here came out to 68.1. Now at the end of this journey, all I can say is "it's" been fun! [ After downloading the file you may need to add ".zip" to the end of the file name. ]

This is a nice extension to the first installment, and yeah the download site was weird and I had to rename the file, but it was kind of like a mini-adventure. I don't believe I've ever heard that Johnny Mathis track before, and as far as I can tell that's a tragedy, so thanks.

Great research and picks, as usual. I like just about everything here, even #23.

It's a winner, although I have to humbly disagree with doowad on #23.

What it is, what it is. Or, as the caveman used to say at the beginning of the Monty Python program: "It's . . . "!

I might steal an idea here and put that Twitty and Roy side by side on a mix, I think they would go well together.
