This is big pressure for a sixty year-old dude - burning the first ever Seedy Mixer CD to be shared with a bunch of thirty-somethings. This was great fun, as you will find out. A version of this mix has been bouncing around in my IPhone and on my computer for a month now and it’s time to just give it up and lay it out there. A few of the early songs have a summertime theme because, well, it’s almost summer. But mostly it’s just stuff I’ve been listening to in a random order that seemed to work. Some stuff is new, some stuff is old, but it’s all stuff that makes me smile. I am happy the pressure is off and I can pass the baton onto Noah. I look forward to sitting back with my feet up for the next five months while all of you do the work. But I’m already planning for my December release. Hope you like it. Long live the Seedy Mixers!!

Needless to say, these three—accomplished in their own rights as artists, songwriters and musicians, wholeheartedly casting their fortunes together since 2003—don’t fit the profile.
