Comment:

Another sort of memorial mix, but this one is a lot more upbeat. I made this originally when I was around 24 years old, on a visit to my parent's house. I tried to represent both of them in this mix. My dad loved Jazz (especially dixieland, cool jazz and big bands) and classical music, while my mom was fond of bluegrass, old country and folk music. They overlapped once in a while, and both enjoyed pop vocals. This really captures what it was like growing up in my household. Some notable exclusions include Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline...but that is another volume, I guess. I will probably give a copy of this one to my mom for mother's day.
