Comment:

If documents are ever produced that prove that our fourth president, James Madison, was a mambo fan who had a soft spot for cheesy disco and sprawling progressive rock epics, then this CD would make an excellent soundtrack for the subsequent documentary. However, if this does happen, I have a sad feeling that the documents in question will have been faked.

Wow. This is fantastic. As good as the music is, I must conclude that it is historically accurate, as well.

Dan Rather and I love this mix! (What's the frequency Kenneth?) Anyway, this is Presidential sweet! Where did you find that Nelories song? Mr. Madison has some obscure tastes.

Queen Latifah and Yes? You're a madman. Good to see Too Much Joy in action.

You are indeed a madman (based upon this mix), but this looks like lots of fun. I can't imagine James jamming out to monolithically long Yes tracks, but hey, who knew? ;-)

Wow, wow, wow. Love the Desi through Stevie and 101 Strings -> Yes bits especially. I can't wait for FDR.
