What a wonderful gift, the idea and the realisation.I work in the music department of a library, this would be a great hit for anniversaries and birthdays.
What a great compilation! The cover art, superb. Very nice!
what a totally totally incredible gift, you two -- you really DO make a great team. I can only hope and wish that someone might do something like this for me if I ever reach my 75th birthday. Your friend must feel so loved and appreciated, Kim. Sigh. Now I want to listen to this exact mix in this order. But how will I ever find all those songs? Cool idea! And great idea for the cover art. You're a talented art director/designer/illustrator/photog. :-D
that is so cool. The artwork cover, the music,,,,, everything...... thumbs up!!!
Very cool 8)! Happy to see Los Lonely Boys for 2004.
