Okay, I've been trying to get this to work for a while now, trying to coax some cooperation from my clunky old Gateway at home, which is STILL running Windows 98 and gasping for breath. But I finally gave in and "ripped" a bunch of songs off CDs and organized them and put them all together on my work machine (running Windows XP and operating at a MUCH faster speed).

Yes, indeed, I made Drew his first mix CD!

Here's the playlist:

1. "Untitled," REM (the one that goes "This world is big, and so-awake / I stayed up late, to hear your voice ")
2. "Little Potato," Metamora
3. "Seek Up," Dave Matthews Band
4. "Linus and Lucy," The Vincent Guaraldi Trio
5. "Walk On," U2
6. "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby," Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch (from "O Brother Where Art Thou")
7. "Pig," Dave Matthews Band
8. "The Lucky One," Alison Krauss
9. "Redemption Song," Bob Marley and the Wailers
10. "Little Wings," Dave Matthews Band (yeah, we're DMB fanatics, okay?)
11. "I Won't Back Down," Tom Petty
12. "John I Love You," Sinead O'Connor
13. "In Your Eyes," Peter Gabriel
14. "Imagine," covered by Neil Young
15. "Yellow," Coldplay
16. "Everyday," Dave Matthews Band
17. "The Luckiest," Ben Folds

Next, so we don't have to borrow CDs from all our friends, I try to learn how to... download music! From the Internet! For free! (Um, you can still do that, right?) Later!
