We ended round 1 of our game at 100 selections. It worked out great and we came up with exactly the kind of mix I was hoping for. We have everything from reggae, to classic rock, to kids music, orchestra and country… and it all blends well. I’m making a DVD for everyone of all the songs.
For posterity, here is the list of our first collection. Group / Title / Album / Year
