Comment:

A fun mix to make, with more genres of music immediately leaping to mind than was true of other states. I do think that "Hotel California" and "Gin and Juice" were, as choices, too easy. I should've filled their spaces with more Beach Boys songs. For more info on the series, see "Washington, DC." To read more about our road trip, visit http://www.dankois.com/roadtrip/.

This is truly excellent. Rufus Wainwright and Kante, among others, have songs that could have very well fitted in this wonderful mix.

Unfair rules.
