I'd like to ditto Monsieur Apichell's begging....I'm embarrassed to admit it hit a soft spot in my heart, when I found out you wrote the book I read...

another good tragically hip song that could've made it on here is courage (for hugh maclennan)...in it is a passage from hugh's book "the watch that ends the night."

Congratulations on having a great sense of humor and excellent taste in music. I was very pleased by the whole of this compilation, but Maybe Just Maybe was definitely the kicker. This is a scrumptious mix!

You have Sarah Slean but forgot "Me & Jerome" (J.D. Salinger)! Nice Job with the rest though!
