Comment:

Right now my boy is on his way to the other side of the world for ten months, and he should be listening to this somewhere over the ocean. **Update: After the disc I sent with him had an error and I had to send him a new one, this went through numerous edits, and wound up as a two-disc sap-o-rama which I'm too embarassed to post. Thank you.

Very nice. I particularly like the Stevie Wonder and Marshall Crenshaw songs. But, of course, you can't go wrong with Billie Holiday.
