so my oldest brother terry told his daughter hannah a couple years ago before her birthday (8 at the time) "auntie m has all kinds of music by weird artists like squirrel nut zippers!" how excited was i to hear this? VERY! i love making music compilations as you know and i set out on a rather quick whipping up of a lighthearted, fun list just for her with all my weirdo named bands - many, if not all, you will know. just some fun as i depart for the tropical waves and sand... enjoy! marlo
