I made three versions of Jon's birthday mixed CD, but I think the third time was the charm. That was the perfect one.
The first one had a couple of songs that I didn't realize were on the anniversary mix until after I burned it so that was trashed.
The second one I had amended that but then felt like there were a few obvious oversights (Wonderwall being one of them. Long story behind that one, but it has lots of happy memories for us) and after playing it a few days in a row decided to drop a few songs because they didn't "feel" right for this mix even though I love them.
So I did some moving around and adding and subtracting of songs and today I finally have the perfect, most meaningful birthday mix CD (That I can fit on an 80 minute disc) for my honey!

Nice songs! And God bless Joseph Arthur. I know most of these, but not The Elected, Coyote Shivers, or Russian Teammate - I'll have to check them all out.
Coyote Shivers is kind of a joke song, I woudl not worry about checking them out. The other two are pretty awesome though! :-)
