Comment:

This has three distinctions: the first mix I made for the Most Incredibe Boy in my life, the first SERIOUS, thematic CD-mix I've ever made, and the first CD-mix derived exclusively from music I already owned. Absolutely no mp3s here. The theme of sorts is just inspiring said boy to be a little more introspective. And to understand me, since these tracks, cumulatively, are the best of some of my favorites. (As you can imagine, I had to exclude a lot to fit it on one disc, but kept transitions in mind and managed to shave to a close 70 minutes). Although it's one of a kind, this is the only mix- cassette or CD- that has held up, still gives me chills and reminds me why I spend hours doing this at all.
