Ooh! I wouldn't mind if I got yours. I'd love to have a copy of "Tank!". And I recently discovered Paolo Conte, but haven't heard this song.

So who besides Penny got my CD?!

You know I got the bonus copy you sent, and on first listen the tracks that leap out are 1, 4, 15, and 17. I have quite a few more listens to go before I pick my definitive favorites from the mix, though. In general, I like it a lot across the board, and love it in spots.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim! I'm glad you like the Paolo Conte and Colin Hay. Conte made my disc last year. And my appreciation for Colin Hay has grown because of Scrubs. And of course, Christmas Wrapping is a classic. I haven't gotten to listen to all of your CD yet but I've got at least 6 hours of driving by myself this holiday weekend so you can be sure I'll give it a good listen then.

Do you recognize the pattern I intended in the songs?

Not yet, but I'll try to keep an ear out!
