[sometimes change is good]

There's only one thing that can make a song better than it already is and that one thing is when someone else changes it and creates a fresh, new sound.

[thank you for the music]

Two things before I give you this weeks playlist:

Firstly, I forgot to post one last week but this one will still be 20 songs, and

Secondly, these are all songs that I've listened to my entire life and it's all thanks to one person - my dad - the one person who introduced me to the widest variety of music.

These are songs very near and dear to me. I listened to them in our old house in Oyster Bay, I hummed along to them in road trips through the Rockie Mountains, I hear them every time I walk into the kitchen and my dads plugged his iPod into the speakers and everytime I press play on my iTunes.
