Nice job...tough act to follow
I've really enjoyed listening to Jenna's CD. Like Gabriel, I don't have any of these songs in my collection (though I have songs from many of the artists) and now I don't know why. Nice job.
My CD is due to everyone in November. My wedding was this last weekend but I managed to squeeze in some work on the CD during the last frantic days before the wedding. I have more work to do but it has been really fun to think about how you will hear these songs and frustrating trying to fit everything I want onto one CD. And now with Jenna's CD in your hands, I have to focus on a high quality mix. I love a challenge...

Owls October Mix "Going Places" Released
Thanks to Jenna for launching the Owls in style. An excellent mix - I already have had a dream with the Stevie Wonder cut in it. Always love that Johnny Cash flood tune - his biopic is due to be released on November 18 with Joaquin Pheonix playing the Man in Black. Nice Brazilian flavor in here, too. One question, Jenna - what is the story behind "Where's Amila?"

"Think" Aretha Franklin
"Five Feet High and Rising" Johnny Cash
"Marrakesh Express" Crosby, Stills and Nash
"Black Crow" Jonie Mitchell
"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome" Bob Dylan
"Dreams Be Dreams" Jack Johnson
