September2005

My latest mix of music is not one of my seasonal CD's. Since I have taken a year off, I have to catch up a bit over the last year. I am calling it September2005. It is a mix of big songs, maybe some of my favorites from the last year. It may not flow as well as my other mixes because every song is grand. There is not much change in mood - it is a constant high. Don't worry, I'll put out a proper Fall2005 in a month that will put you in the mood for walking through haunted woods, rainy days, and sweaters.
