Weekend Playlist

I've been making playlists, burning them to cd and listening in the car. I've commented before that the ipod changed the way I listen to music, a constant shuffle. Pre-ipod, that's all I wished for; some magical station that only played the songs I liked. My Music. "Your music," as my family calls it. Well, careful what you wish for. I've been listening to more cd's/lp's and making playlists recently. The randomness has lost some of its luster and the deep enjoyment of picking the perfect song(s) for the moment has made the past couple of weeks enjoyable for this music lover. Here is last week's list, it's a good one:
