Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I prefer the early to mid-70's stuff with Thom Bell producing and those tunes take me right back to hot summers growing up in the West Texas desert (I don't care if the singles were released in other seasons, they're all summer songs for me now).
