another try at the mix trade in January

I have another youtube friend interested in joining the mix trade. If there more than 10 people I'll give it a try! I miss not having it. The excitement of creating new friendships is cool. Turning someone onto music you like and possibly reintroducing them to a song they have not heard in years is thrilling.
Many of my fellow mixmakers have introduced me to cool music. My music education is furthered through other peoples mixes.
Al Telstar and Robert Song got me curious about world music. The Music of Africa and Ireland are my faves followed closely my Cuban and india.
 Larry aka uncle Orca and Al Telstar and two mixmakers I've known the longest.
Tex Hobert is a bluegrass and roots music fan and every now and then I enjoy that Sunday morning music as I call it.
I used to listen to a bluegrass program every Sunday on a local college station.
Join us and make new friends and get send and receive cool CD mixes!

cd mixes: folks still make em!

the other day when I went to Walgreens to get some CDes the man behind the counter ask me what I put on then.
I told him I make cd mixes for family and friends.
Oh yeah? My wife and I do too. We put our fave songs on a cd and take them on trips.
 I would have gotten deeper in conversation if not for a coworker of his interrupting.
Its cool to meet new folks who still have a love for making mixes.
