Celine's Green Sleeves Selection - April

I thought Celine's mix started things off on the right foot with a timely prelogue from Bill Hicks and went from there into varied selections by some of my favourites.  Nice work Celine!!

Firstly I want to apologise for it taking me so long to upload Celine's fabulous offering! Secondly I want to apologise for not including a pic of the soft and furry green sleeve that housed my cd.  We have been having a problem with moths this spring and the green cd sleeve was too inviting and moths decided to make it their home so I had to get rid of it thinking that Ash would have his but he gave his copy to Pat, thinking that I would have mine.  So if someone wants to send me a pic of the green jacket I will add it to the blog.  Enough of that let's all get some actual conversation going around the entries eh?

So next up is Michiru!  I think Michiru's selection is just about ready to go so keep a look out for that!

Here are Rich's selections for March.  Both have been in rotation at home, work and play - it's lovely. I really liked the mystery and excitement of not knowing what the next track would be.  It felt like when I used to listen to cd's back in the day.  Thanks Rich!  What did everyone else enjoy?  Let everyone know by commenting here or on Rich's amazing blog which you should be sure to check out:

I Hope that everyone is enjoying their Easter!  Michiru is almost ready to send her cd out......Celine's month was meant to be April but Michiru can buy you some time if you wish?

Sophie's Choice

Well, well, well - what a pleasant surprise this was!  It was also an amazing way to kick off the Monthly Mega Mix Mash Up!!!  Some of you may be surprised by the care and attention to detail that Sophie has taken in her contribution.....but not me, it's classic Soph, through and through and thank you for setting the bar so high for everyone with your Mor-sel.  Celine still had a look of shock on her face when she was talking about it and she had opened it several days earlier, initially mistaking it for a wedding invitation.  Jorge sent some loving words about it being beautiful, amazing and containing Paco de Lucia and Ghin began plotting all sorts in an effort to reset the bar.   My copy didn't have any information regarding Track 3 or 17 but this probably has something to do with Sophie's cultural background and a reverance for the numbers 3 and 17 and I respect that.  Sophie, thanks for sharing!

2009 Monthly Mega Mix Mash Up!!!

Hello to you all!  This blog is just a way and a place for us to make notes of what we think about each month's entry.  By the way, it is March and Sophie's month was Jan so we're a little behind.  Michiru has told me she is making progress after having recently moved house and will most likely be posting out her contribution by the end of this month.  Having a peek below it is clear that we are a bit behind schedule.  So let's play it by ear and see if we can make up a bit of time, perhaps having Michiru's in late March,  Rich's in early April and Celine's in late April?  I'll be in touch with people prior to when their selections are due.  I'll also send an up-to-date address list.

I know that I am really eager to hear everyone's selections!
