I'll have to check the library and see what it has available.<br /><br />Patti - Unless it's some newfangled player, a USB cable should all you need. Maybe some software. If you have a Mac, it's all done for you.<br /><br />Ray - I agree with you re: Summer in the City. I just have that song. We have a hits station here in Houston that is the greatest hits of the 60s and 70s. It's a summer soundtrack all year round. Also, I could make a summer CD with music solely from 1965-1972 and I'd be more than happy. I really dig the psychedelic sounds of early Doors, Hendrix, Sons of Champlin, and many, many others. If you haven't been there, check out Wolfgang's vault (link there on the right) which has tons of old concert recordings.Scott D.

Although I didn't set out to theme them they seem to have turned out that way.<br />A Summer disc would have included The Lovin' Spoonful's Summer In The City.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154296143024548830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-67662772779900274532009-06-11T21:20:33.478-05:002009-06-11T21:20:33.478-05:00Nice mix, Scott.

If I figure out how to download songs on to my MP 3, I'll use some of these.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-84148074816713129882009-06-11T14:02:55.076-05:002009-06-11T14:02:55.076-05:00I like Metheny's LETTER FROM HOME.

Haden is one of my favorites for his album HAUNTED HEART (Quartet West).Richard Proschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314680709014254183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-19539241121344650432009-06-11T13:17:59.098-05:002009-06-11T13:17:59.098-05:00Richard - I think Bowie's 90s material ranks a...Richard - I think Bowie's 90s material ranks as high as his 70s material. It's just so good and Heathen, arguably, is the best of this lot. It's the one I return to over and over again. As I will write in my forthcoming review of the Heathen CD, ESH is probably my favorite song of the CD.<br /><br />Chris - Metheny is, at times, way too uppity for me. I admire his talent and that of his band but it can be quite complex. For summer, I don't want to think much. Thus: Follow Me. Another tune from that same album I really like is "The Roots of Coincidence." Love the techno-metal thrash of that song.<br /><br />Lois - Thanks for stopping by. The Howland/Imboden Project is available via CDBaby.com, a nice independent label/distributor. You can also pick up Robert Lamm's bossa nova CD from them, too, if you like that type of music. "Same Time Next Year" I got from Keith Howland's myspace page.<br /><br />Charles - I almost, without question, hit random on just about everything I listen to, even this CD sometimes. The best thing about making an MP3 CD (with 150+ songs) is that I hardly ever punch "next" b/c I love all the tunes. And, with 150 songs, repeats are hard to come by.Scott D.

I'd probably have a lot of his stuff on my summer playlist.<br /><br />Two things that come to mind right now are pretty much anything from Joni Mitchell's <i>The Hissing of Summer Lawns</i> and that Kool and the Gang song "Summer Madness." George Benson's "Breezin'" works for me, too.
