2005 was the first year I created a “best of” CD. I hadn’t yet thought of the idea of writing liner notes. I also buy much more music now than I did back then- you’ll notice a lot of songs by one artist, something that I no longer do nearly as often. Still, it’s a fun collection, and I hope you enjoy it.
