I.C. tree

[y-guy]

Shall we?

Rick, did you ever do the All England?

[rick316]

No I didn't.I had 2 replies and to be honest,I didn't feel it would be worth the postage

[Moonsavvy]

We shall.

I'm in for a refreshing cd tree. :D

[Moonsavvy]

Anyone else?

[zoepup]

No I didn't.I had 2 replies and to be honest,I didn't feel it would be worth the postage

Rick.. that is one hell of an avatar... :oops:

[yvonne]

i'm in ...

[like2bike]

Let's go. I'm pumped!

[Moonsavvy]

so....... are we doing it?

[Moonsavvy]

I think I'll take that as a negative. :roll:

[like2bike]

I think I'll take that as a negative. :roll:


Sorry Moonie I was away and now I'm back!

How many peeps do we normally need for a CD tree? I only did one and I wasn't the organizer--is it 10 or 15?

So far we have:

y-guy
Rick (I think. Were you volunteering for this or did I just volunteer you?) :oops:
Moonie
zoepup (I think. Again, not sure. Please confirm.)
Yvonne
Me


THAT IS 6 PEEPS! WE NEED 4 MORE!!

[Moonsavvy]

No prob Like, hope you had fun!

A cd tree usually has 10, but I've had up to 12 before. At the looks of it I don't think we will have a problem with having more than 10 :wink:

[monical1]

Okay I'm feeling brave - I'm in!

[like2bike]

Seven peeps and counting!

OK I will make it more enticing by saying that you don't have to have a profile to go with the music.

How about just 10-15 songs (w/up, c/down, climbs, flats, WHATEVER)....


Any more enticing to you??? COME ON!!!!

[tracik]

Okay, I'm in!!! :)

[megale3]

You know I have never done this what is the ciriculmn?
M<

[like2bike]

Megs I've only done it once and what we did was create a profile and the music to go along with it (on CD and all mpeg files and no mix meistering of songs so people can mix and match them the way they want).

However, in order to make it less work and more enticing for everyone, I was thinking we could just do the playlist we have used (in order of songs used the way you did with the profile) instead of sending the matching profile.

You would burn 10 CDs of your playlist. Then, once we get 10 peeps to commit, someone gets the emails of everyone else and everyone emails that person with their mailing addresses (I will volunteer for this part). We set a deadline date (I think) and everyone gets some fresh music with a matching playlist of the names of the songs and artists.

If anyone can further elaborate (I can't access pedal-on since my IP address has been banned again so I can't check the forum for posts about CD Trees).

Do I have this right? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? :lol:

[Pink]

Tempting....but seriously, I don't have anything that hasn't been posted (other than a few---and I mean only a few---that I'm saving for the WSSC tree). And if I just pick a fav playlist, chances are it will include things I've gotten from some of you. Oh what to do what to do???

[Moonsavvy]

Personally I love getting cd's from people even if I have the songs already, it's sortof like a music bonding experience, no?

[Redsquirrel]

Okay, I have never done this either, so I will give it try - count me in!

[Pink]

OK, I slept on it. I'm in, if there's room. But if you've played with me before, you'll probably get repeats.

[like2bike]

We need to hear from y-guy, Rick (dude where the heck are you) and zoe-pup. I don't know if you guys are in or out.

Helloooooooooo out there you guys......PLEASE RESPOND!

The list would look like this:

4. zoepup
5. Yvonne
6. Me
7. Monica
8. Traci
9. Megs (buddy are you in?)

IT'S EASY!!! IT'S JUST YOUR BEST PICKS OF SONGS FOR A GOOD RIDE (including w/up and cool down!)

[Pink]

I plan to just take one of my recent playlists and burn it unblended...that way there will be WU & CD at the beginning & end, and the middle will be lined up as it was in the class. Again, I apologize if many are ones you already have. I can't see any way around it, since most of what I've got have been recommended here (or over there).

[like2bike]

Pink no apologies necessary! Just glad you are participating (because I love your picks all the time and who cares if I have some or all of them which I'll bet you I sure as heck don't).

THANKS!

[like2bike]

Ok I just heard from y-guy and he is IN! We still need to hear from Rick and zoepup. Let's give it a few more days and if we don't hear from the guys, we'll move ahead with the option for them to join in later if they so desire!

[like2bike]

Ms. Pink, what would I do without you? Thank you again for your friendship.

Megs, no worries. We will wait for you.

[Moonsavvy]

Well we can start pming our addresses. Who do you want us to PM to you or Pink?

[Pink]

BTW, I pm'ed Rick and he's going to sit this one out. As of now, L2B thinks she can add this to her plate so I'll sit in the background unless she changes her mind. I'm waiting for her to tell us to start sending the info. L2B -- you crashed back to your post-vacation reality yet? (I'm ready, though, I ran to Staples today and bought the mailers!)

Pink. She always has my back. What can I say. I am back from subbing tonight, my regular class last night, and another class on Saturday (and then there's my bike fittings tomorrow (road and hybrid) and my full-time job where I earn the real dough and I'm still playing catch up...)

Sweetheart, would you be so kind as to take my stupid plate that I thought I could handle? I am mature enough (well, cripes it's about time) to admit when I need help, and not stupid enough to pass up somone I trust taking the reigns....

I bow to thee if you would kindly accept....if you do choose to accept this challenge, I have y-guy's address that I will send to you (but we need to wait until May 1st when Megs returns)....

[Pink]

Okie Dokie...I've got this one.

And for those of you who sent me addresses and I told you that L2B was handling this just ignore me because I obviously missed this post from last night and I didn't realize I am handling it and what can I say <deep breath> except that I promise that I won't mix anything else up and this CD tree will be the best ever <deep breath> soooooooo, start looking for your bestest playlist and start sending me your info and I'll start compiling it and I'll email the list to everyone after Meggers gets back next week.

phew!

[like2bike]

There will be an extra special something in your envelope, my dear friend.

I absolutely adore you! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Moonsavvy]

we're just sending music right? I was planning on just compiling a bunch of songs in no particular order and sending them off.

[like2bike]

Yup, just music, keeping in mind to try and put a w/up and cool down in there too (or a couple of each depending on how long the songs are).

[like2bike]

Say, how many songs are you planning on putting on the CD? I was planning on enough for one class. I don't want to look like a jerk if everyone else is planning to put a butt-load of songs on theirs.

[Moonsavvy]

I was thinking about filling it up 60 min's worth with a few extras. I've gotten and used so many songs from cd trees that I'm just going to put one's on there that I have found all by myself. That way you guys might not have them. :D

So basically mine will be sent in no particular order, however I will probably keep warm-ups at the beginning and cool downs at the end.

[Pink]

However, in order to make it less work and more enticing for everyone, I was thinking we could just do the playlist we have used (in order of songs used the way you did with the profile) instead of sending the matching profile.


I planned to do as L2B suggested early on...I was just going to unblended one of my playlists & burn the CD in the same order. Then I'll fill the rest of the CD with random tracks until I run out of room.

[like2bike]

OK that sounds good. Pink, you might end up with a lot of the ones I already gave you before. I hope you'll get at least a few new ones from me! :oops:

[Pink]

Ditto, dear. In fact, as I type this, I am burning my copies.

Still not sure of the final tally as I'm waiting on Zoepup to confirm, so there will be 9 or 10 of us.

[luv2ride28]

I have never done this before and am a little nervous about it...is there still room, and if so what format do the songs need to be in??

[Pink]

I have never done this before and am a little nervous about it...is there still room, and if so what format do the songs need to be in??

I'll make an executive decision and say there's room. By adding luv2ride28, we'll have either 10 or 11 (waiting on Zoepup). I'll also say it's officially closed at 12.

luv2ride: I've just burned CD's. You can send a disk of mp3's also. If you blend your tracks (via Mixmeister, etc.), you'll need to unblend them. Send me a p.m. with your name, mailing address & email address.

[Moonsavvy]

Welcome Luv, I'm sure we could squeeze you in. Can't we guys? Anyway I believe we are burning playlists in the audio format, but I'm sure some will send more tracks and use the mp3 format. Basically you burn a cd will 60 min of songs including warm up and cool down and if you would like to add a few bonus songs, go right ahead.

[luv2ride28]

Can I just burn the cd right from my itunes or do I need to do something to it? So, just a playlist unblended...that I think I can do!

[Pink]

Mine are burned (burnt?). I took a class CD, unblended it and burned it. The class CD is about an hour long so I filled in with random tracks. I think there are 17 or 18 total. I also typed up the profile & added it. But there is NO need for anyone else to include a profile. DH was watching a movie I wasn't interested in last night, so I had time to kill in front of the TV.

[Pink]

Can I just burn the cd right from my itunes or do I need to do something to it? So, just a playlist unblended...that I think I can do!

I don't use itunes but I'd imagine that's OK. You should also include the playlist -- titles/artists. I have too many tracks in my library entitled, "Track 1" "Track 2" etc.

[luv2ride28]

Sure, I can do that...I usually do a cover for my cds with titles, artists and times. Sounds easy enough...when do they need to be done by?

[Pink]

So would you then say you unblent and burnt it? :lol:

Sorry guys for hijacking, just couldn't resist. I'm in one of those moods. :P

btw...I got something like (7) track 1, track 2, etc in my library too. :roll:

We are officially underway. I've emailed everyone the mailing list. If you don't get it, let me know.

And I've already mailed my CD's -- again, if there's a problem, just scream!

No seriously, thanks for getting this together. I'm burning tonight. Hope to have mine out by the close of the weekend!

[monical1]

I'll be sending out my cds tomorrow. I sent a favorite that gets a lot of good feedback from my students. I'm really too new at this to be very good at the music thing. I'm sure that you've already heard most of what I'm sending but hopefully you'll like them anyway and if I don't do stuff like this, I'm never going to get any better. So, anyway, this is my first time, so please be kind. :)

Honey no worries! We will love anything you send. It's the thought you put into it that really counts. Plus I always think of CD tress as gaining insight into the person's soul--seeing what music really moves and motivates that particular person, for when they are instructing and coaching. So it will be great to get to know you better---looking very forward to your CD!

[Redsquirrel]

I am burning Friday and mailing on Saturday.

Been a crazy week at work, now it's Jazz Fest time! :D

[Moonsavvy]

Oh my gosh, are you guys serious?

I still need to figure out what I'm going to send!

[like2bike]

Take your time, Moonie. No rush. It's all good.

[monical1]

Okay, mine went out today. Moonie, The only reason I felt in such a rush is because I'm knee deep in the middle of this fundraiser for St. Jude (I'm still trying to find somone in the community to donate refreshments), my oldest son is graduating from high school and my youngest son is turning four. All in the next few weeks so I'm tackling everything that comes my way as quickly and efficiently as possible so I don't get behind and have a meltdown (Its not pretty)!

M

[monical1]

Thanks Pink! I got the cd in the mail today, I can't wait to listen to it! Your packaging was so nice. You're going to think my three year old did mine. Maybe I should say he did, but alas, no, it was me :oops: . I had everything I needed around the house and I just couldn't see spending the extra dough. Oh, speaking of money, my paycheck had an extra $200 in it today for half of the WSSC registration! Yeah, I'm feelin' pretty lucky about right now. I totally didn't expect that to happen. They didn't even say anything to me, it was just in with my paycheck as a reimbursement. I sure am glad I asked for it!

Y you don't have to (I'm not) but if you have one ready to go and you'd like to send it, please do! But we didn't want to pressure anyone to have to have a profile ready. However, it's always fun to see what the sender used as the profile for the music so again, if you have the profile and you feel like sending it, please do!

Guys by the way I am running late on mine. I'm hoping to get them out next week. SO SORRY. Life is getting in the way!!!

Whats a "bended copy" Pinkster?

[tracik]

Hey...
Just wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten the cd tree, just been busy like Monica! Our 5 month old was dedicated today in a special ceremony at our church, so we spent a lot of time this week getting ready for the "after" party. Yesterday, we went to talk to the developer of a neighborhood we were considering since my husband is relocating us, and ended up buying a house :shock: ! And...I'm flying to FL with my two girls on Tuesday to visit my brother, so there's lots of packing to do.

I PROMISE I will work on my cd when I get back next week. You guys are all such music experts...I don't want to just crank out the standard stuff. I'll post when they're ready and in the mail so you know to start looking for them.

Congrats on the support from your gym, Monica! That's great! :D

[Redsquirrel]

From the Squirrel's Nest in the Big Easy. . .

CDs were mailed out Saturday. They include a few songs from local bands, a few artists new to me; a few obscure tunes and a finale with 4 mash-ups.

BTW, I am glad the CDs are not coming in all at once - makes it easier to enjoy them as they come in.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Monica, no need. Give it more time. If it doesn't come by Miami, bring me a copy then. DH lost his wallet a week and a half ago. We canceled our credit cards and they reissued new ones. The company said they mailed them last Thursday and they still haven't arrived. I guess my 'hood is still serviced by the Pony Express.

[like2bike]

So DH went to the P.O. Box today to get the mail. There were 3 envelopes there!!! Pink's, Monica's, and Mason's! YEAH! He was on his motorcycle and had to go to the grocery store after the post office. He put the three envelopes carefully in his motorcycle compartment (underseat storage compartment) and off he went to get a few things we desperately needed at home.

Upon arriving home, took out the groceries and realized that he had placed them on top of the CDs! :shock: He opened each of them. Pink, yours was still in one piece. Mason? Yours was fine. My dear Monica Electronica, yours was nicely broken into about 5 pieces. :cry: DH was so upset he called me immediately at work (was on the phone with Mike and Y at the time). Such a sweetheart--he was really upset about it. No worries, I told him.

Monica, along with my CD that I'm sending out this weekend, I'm including with yours a a self-addressed stomped antelope (oops: I mean a "self-addressed stamped envelope") and a blank CD. Would you be so kind as to please burn me another copy? :oops: Much obliged, sweetie pie!

Monica, I am serious. Save the envelope & postage. Just give it to me in Miami (if it hasn't come). Didn't get Mason's yet either. Nor the credit cards. I think NJSpiner received my CD a month or so after it was mailed...and we live pretty close to each other.

WHO DOESN'T? I try to only eat dark every once in a while.

So DH went to the P.O. Box today to get the mail. There were 3 envelopes there!!! Pink's, Monica's, and Mason's! YEAH! He was on his motorcycle and had to go to the grocery store after the post office. He put the three envelopes carefully in his motorcycle compartment (underseat storage compartment) and off he went to get a few things we desperately needed at home.

Upon arriving home, took out the groceries and realized that he had placed them on top of the CDs! :shock: He opened each of them. Pink, yours was still in one piece. Mason? Yours was fine. My dear Monica Electronica, yours was nicely broken into about 5 pieces. :cry: DH was so upset he called me immediately at work (was on the phone with Mike and Y at the time). Such a sweetheart--he was really upset about it. No worries, I told him

Monica, along with my CD that I'm sending out this weekend, I'm including with yours a a self-addressed stomped antelope (oops: I mean a "self-addressed stamped envelope") and a blank CD. Would you be so kind as to please burn me another copy? :oops: Much obliged, sweetie pie!

No need. I'll send out another to you and one to Pink as well. I hope this isn't divine intervention. Could it be that the powers that be don't want you lovely ladies listening to Electronica by Monica? I hope not because I'll be sending out new copies tomorrow! I don't want to test the Gods!

M

Monica, I am serious. Save the envelope & postage. Just give it to me in Miami (if it hasn't come). Didn't get Mason's yet either. Nor the credit cards. I think NJSpiner received my CD a month or so after it was mailed...and we live pretty close to each other.

Yes mam. Your mail man is a Nazi!

You know I thought I did but here it goes.
1) like you did cut it out.
2) add 4 volume markers around the offensive word/words (2 to each side) and drop volume by dragging down the blue line to lower than audible levels
3) drag and drop a voice over -over the top of it and in conjunction with item 2 above

Hope this helps

Monica Electronica,
Thank you for sending me another CD! COOL! I'm mailing mine out tomorrow for SURE! Yes I sure do remember you posting about your husband selling his Suzuki Hyabusa so you cool attend WSSC (I just love that he did that for you--so sweet!). Those things are FAST! You probably know about the Steeler's QB Ben Roethlisberger riding his and having a pretty bad accident. He didn't have a helmet on (moron!) and more than likely didn't have the proper training to ride such a fast machine.

Bill has a Suzuki also, but it's a Burgman 400 Maxi-scooter. Here's a picture of what his looks like: http://www.scootertrap.com/Burgman_400_Profile%5B1%5D.jpg

He loves it! I bought it for him as a surprise for his birthday 2 years ago. Had the dealership drive it home to the house and had it in the garage so when he came home from work and opened the garage door, there it was! The look on his face was priceless and he gets so much pleasure out of riding it (and it gets great gas mileage!). Sounds like our DH's would have a lot to talk about if they ever got together!

What a nice wife you are! I didn't know about the football player. If Claus knew about it he probably wouldn't tell me because he knows I worry about him when he's out riding. Not the Gold Wing so much because its so big but that darn Hyabusa is a crazy machine! It would be a waste of time to celebrate it being gone though. I know the minute he has the funds he'll buy one thats even better in his eyes and worse in mine. He has been riding since he was fourteen so I wouldn't dream of asking him to stop. That would be like him asking me to stop IDC! :shock:

WOW! Claus has a Gold Wing? Ooooooohhhh those are incredible machines. These are the folks who works as the watchful eyes and ride with us on the MS-150 ride. They are like guardian angels to the cyclists! Have you ridden on the Gold Wing with him?

It sounds to me like he knows what he's doing being that he's been riding since he was 14! Holy smokes that's terrific! He has years of experience but even still, we love them so we worry. Not so much about THEM, but about the OTHER GUY other there!

[monical1]

Yes, I do ride the Gold Wing with him. Sometimes we go to Quaker Steak which is in St. Perersburg, about an hour away from here. Its a really nice ride and when we plan it right we can catch the sunset as we ride over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. One night on the way home as we were riding over the bridge we saw a shooting star and it was breath taking. The Goldwing has a stereo and arm rests. That's why he kept that one and sold the sport bike. We enjoy going out on the motorcycle together, him more than me. I don't love motorcycle riding but he does and I love him. He wouldn't hesitate to do something with me that doesn't interest him.

I am glad you like the cd. The members at my club are not really into world/electonica/dance/remixes, (at least not an entire class worth) but I am slowly slipping them into the profiles. That is why songs like the ones you and Pink have on your cds are great for me - I get to learn about new artists and then use them in class. They are genres that I am not really familiar with, so it helps me branch out too.

Pink - thanks for the profile - I am looking forward to using it (and the music too).

This is what I like about a CD tree - everyone wins! 8)

I can't wait to hear the other ones when they come in.

Thanks, I am really glad you like the tunes. So far, my students really enjoy the variety and styles in my classes. I try to have mostly new music every week, so it is a challenge. I am one of the ones who spends hours finding music to fit my profile.

I was just informed this morning by both of my teenagers that there will be police officers everywhere at the graduation ceremony including snipers because of a gun threat from one of the students who is graduating. He's being allowed to walk the stage with a police escort to receive his diploma. He swears he was joking but since he said it within days of the Virginia Tech incident no one is taking any chances.

wow! what an experience this has been so far ... i feel like i've been been given a window to view what your students hear, and feel during one of your classes!

thanks for the compliments on my cd ... i was a bit concerned that it was too far off the beaten path; but that's really a huge glimpse into a day's training with me :D. My philosophy is to make the music a score that compliments the activity ... i dont typically use music with a lot of lyrics right now, but that's because I get too distracted! and believe me no one wants to hear me sing along!

i've been teaching for nearly 9 years now, and my training style and musical selections continue to evolve even at this stage of my tenure! i cant wait to use each and every cd i've recieved. my plan is to use them all exactly as is .. giving all of the credit to my talented cyber-friends.

So far, i've recieved cd's from Pink, Monica, Christian, and Mason .. i'm blown away by the diversity among us, and so jazzed to have these new tunes. Lori i'm getting worried ... now i'm going to hunt my mail carrier down and check him for chocolate-breath!

I am listening to yours right now at work. I love "Black Flute" by Leftfield. Also, I had only heard the German version of "Earth Below Us" by Peter Schilling a few times in the past and always thought it was better than the English version. I was right! I love it! I like that you put the German version of Der Kommisar on here too--it's so cool to hear a familiar song in another language!

I also like the fact that you have a wide variety of songs from familiar ones, to not-so-familiar, to ones with words to ones without words. Very well-balanced.

So far the CDs I've received are amazing! Looking forward to hearing the rest! THANKS TO ALL!

Were you ever able to play mine, Moon? let me know if you'd like me to burn one in an audio vs. mp3 format.

[Moonsavvy]

Well I could play them but I have yet to succesfully get them into my library...

[megale3]

Did anyone get mine yet????? :?

Did anyone get mine yet????? :?

Megs I haven't had a chance to run up to the P-O Box--oh wait, let me spell that out..."Post Office" Box :wink:

I will go up tomorrow and I'm sure it's there--looking forward to getting yours and the others!! This has been FUN!

[tracik]

I'm enjoying my new tunes very much! I've gotten Luv's, L2B's, Mason's, and Yvonne's. I'm having some difficulty playing your's though, Yvonne. I saw Moon was, too....should I try something different to get it to play? Thanks!


I'm working on mine this weekend. Hope to have them out by early next week. An instructor from my gym just had a bunch of us over tonight to do an exchange and share ideas. It was good stuff. I'm hoping some of my colleagues will be showing up here!
Thanks again for the great music!

[yvonne]

I'm so sorry, Traci ... i made the choice to burn it in mp3 format so that the title information would be visible ... i'd be more than happy to burn a regular audio cd for anyone who'd like one :) just pm me and i'll get it out!

Mike, I got yours yesterday :D . I'm so swamped! My son graduated high school on Friday night :D but I still have my other son's fourth birthday (we're taking him to Disney) and his party at the YMCA, the St. Jude fundraiser (AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm feeling a bit stressed over that one) and then I'm subbing for the night instructor and I have to pack for Miami, so........ I have decided to listen to all of your wonderful CDs on my trip to Miami since its about a four hour drive. I'm really grateful for all of the fresh music perspectives.

Got Christian's the other day (Luv2Ride). I have to say it's a nice change for me to listen to songs that I recognize. It's a great mix of music that is fun and upbeat. I'm going to incorporate some of these songs into different profiles of mine to make sure I'm giving my participants a good mix of music of every genre!

Thanks Christian. I also like the basic of the profile you included!!

[Moonsavvy]

hmmmmm 10 of my cd's have mysterioulsy disappeared. I'm serious I think my husband moved my cd's that were to be sent out to you all, so I'm still running behind, I'll get them out when I find them. 8)

Traci, I hope you got mine. If not, let me know because it should have come by now.

I got Meg & Zoepup's today! In fact, Meg's is in the player right now. Great stuff but Meg, I don't think the tracks are lining up with the playlist. I'm loving #7 but I think it's #5 on the playlist because it's 8 minutes in. I'll figure it out and scream if I need some tunes IDed.

Zoe, I'm going to listen to your's tonight! It's like a holiday.

[megale3]

Pink there are voice overs that I have placed in line with the music there for you see them in the play list but they are really short and scoot everything out. Sorry but as a play mix the are seperated at the tracks

Hey Y'all!

I have received Luv2Ride's, Zoepup's and Meg's since Friday.

Unfortunately I have not had a chance to listen to them yet - I had to head out of town to see my Dad who is in ICU after emergency surgery. Long story short, he is doing well considering he was not supposed to make it out of surgery. It will take some time, but we feel good about his recovery.

I returned home last night and will be listening to CDs tonight.
I am really looking forward to everyone's tunes!

[tracik]

Hey Pink...I actually haven't gotten it yet, but our mail delivery can be pretty screwy. Give it a few more days and if it doesn't come, I'll let you konw. Thanks for checking! :D

Finished burning mine and should get them to the post office tomorrow. I have to confess, I'm a little nervous because my stuff is a bit more mainstream than what a lot of you may like (not top 40-ish, but recognizable). My classes seem to prefer the majority of the music be something they've heard, so I try to mix in some of the more familiar with twists on the familiar and some new stuff. I am so enjoying all of the cd's I receive...I just don't want to disappoint!

[Moonsavvy]

checking in zoe's and meg's, haven't listened to, but looking forward and I did locate the missing cd's they will be out this week!!

Wishing you Dad a speedy recovery Red, take care.

[monical1]

Redsquirrel, I'm glad your dad is doing better than expected. That sure is something to be grateful for!

Tracik, How could we be dissapointed? This has been so much fun and I love that I hear some stuff I recognize and some stuff I don't. I play recognizable stuff sometimes too and my class loves it when I do. Don't sweat it, we'll love it!

Prayers and thoughts to you and your family. Stay strong.

[megale3]

Ditto on the dads recovery Red! Pink did you figure that CD out?

[Pink]

Red, sending healing vibes to your dad.

Meg, yes, it just took sitting still while I listened. Meanwhile, High Fidelity is one of my all-time favorites, so I love the little clip.

Traci, no worries. That's what I love about these things -- we get a little bit of everything. Actually, I just got back from teaching and one of my riders said she really liked today's mix because "she ALMOST knew some of the tracks." Cracked me up -- "almost familiar."

[zoepup]

I'm so sorry, Traci ... i made the choice to burn it in mp3 format so that the title information would be visible ... i'd be more than happy to burn a regular audio cd for anyone who'd like one :) just pm me and i'll get it out!

y.

Thank you for burning mp3. I loved having it in that format already, especially since it had the tags on it. I sent mine the same way.

[zoepup]

To everyone.. I have received 6 of 10 CD's so far.. and I will state again that this is one of the best trees I have been a part of. there is lots of strong beat music and some familiar that I did not have. I have already r-mixed some of the music and the class loved it. Got a new one in the CD player today and I love the beats, but it sounds like the tracks might be mixed :(.

Enjoy and if you all want to do another one together it would be great.

[Redsquirrel]

Hey Guys and Gals!

Just a quick update - papa squirrel is doing much better, still have to deal with the aneurism in his chest, but he is light years beyond where I thought he would be when this first happend Friday night. Thank you for your happy thoughts, healing vibes and prayers - their mojo is working and we appreciate it.

Now on to the tunes. . . . .

Luv2Ride - great songs - same genre I like - there were quite a few songs that I did not have in my library - great additions and they fit well with my existing profiles! Thanks!

Zoepup - I really like the various styles - only had one song - good stuff!
I am really groovin' on Matt Redman - gonna have to check out his other tunes.

Meg - didn't catch the High Fidelity snippet the 1st time I listened to it - great movie; I also like the variety and the songs have great beats. I haven't heard of the Coldplay remix - also likin' Tomcraft - good ones!
Q - Wicked Because of You mash-up - Chris Issacs is the Wicked Game - who is the other artist? I like it a lot.

I agree with Zoepup - although this is my first CD tree, I am really stoked about the freshness of all the tunes so far and each CD brings something new to me.

[tracik]

So glad to hear your dad is doing much better, Red Squirrel! That's great!

My cd's went in the mail this morning. Hopefully they will find their way to everyone in the next few days!

[like2bike]

Red thanks for the update on your pap. Sounds like one tuff cookie. Positive thoughts will continue your way....

[megale3]

Meg - Q - Wicked Because of You mash-up - Chris Issacs is the Wicked Game - who is the other artist? I like it a lot.
Hint she played on AI last night blond and very very good looking.

[luv2ride28]

Okay, help me with this...how do I get my itunes to except the MP3 versions?? I really am slow on the up curve sometimes!! LOL :?

[zoepup]

OK. maybe someone can help. I got a song from one of you called "Evolution - Walking On Fire". IT is the 10+ minute version. Actually the real version is over 11 minutes. I went to download the unmixed version (great song to have in its entirely) but I can only get the 11 minute version by buying the $10 album! :roll: Anyone have the uncut version of this song?

TIA
