Coffee Table Rock Candy.

Such sweet business is the Big Band Era. I'm almost finished the first disc of the set and am overjoyed with the places it's taking me. I'm sure you know already how much I love this sort of music, Sinatra-phile that I am, but this collection introduces an awful lot of new tunes. New performers. It's a totally submersive rock 'n roll prequel experience that is making the afternoon and morning commute something to look forward to.

I'd really love to get some track info for the collection if you have it please. And whatever back story you care to share about where or when this compilation came from. Was this something you owned at one time or something built from scratch? Either way, it's a delicious mix.

And yet equally frustrasting. It seems that for every song I recognize and can name, there's another song that I recognize and can't quite put my finger on. Track 4 was agonizing because I'm certain I have a German cover version of it, love it, but can't nail down the name of the song. It's gonna be one of those forehead slappers.

Sweet Baby Jesus, there's nothing better than going to bed, and looking forward to the CDs waiting in the morning. This is why we blitz!
