Congratulations, Frank!:

You do good songs justice. The title of your album reminds me of a conversation I had five or six years ago with the teenage son of my niece. He was about fifteen at the time and he and his friends were deeply into ska... a punk version of ska. So, I sent him a cassette of ska and reggae, and he and his friends loved it. They were impressed that an old timer in his sixties would love reggae and ska (and played electric guitar.) My niece's son and his friends sat around, listening to the thape over and over again, and he wrote to me and said that it was so cool that I sent him a tape of "the muisc they lived their lives by." I thought that was such a great phrase that I sent them another cassette titled "The Music I've Lived My Life By."

I really like the idea for your CD. Why don't you start a thread of that title? It would be a good one. I'll add my two bits worth if you do.

Or maybe I should start a thread with the title "Music We Lived Our Lives By."
