"XYZ": The Weekend Mix(es)


 

For those who thought I had something special up my sleeve for the letters X and Z, I am sorry to disappoint. Some possibilities were multiple live versions of "Xanadu" by Rush or, a mix of my all time favorite songs, like "Zfor No One" Xseptember Song" "Xsun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore, and "Zelenore." 

This was more difficult than I expected. Forget the lack of X and Z tunes. There are just too many "You" songs.

These two mixes conclude the Pandemic A-Z Series. It was fun...all things considered.

And P.S.
Thank you all for tossing a few coins in the till. We are good to go for another year.

Wish there was more, but there's only 26 letters. Excellent undertaking, I salute you!

Gracias Salvatore! Titus Oaks smiles down on you.

"You can't be to strong" is one of the most powerful, emotional songs ever.

dogbreath said...

An excellent achievement, Mr N, and well done. Of course, if you were to use the Greek or Arabic alphabets, for example, there'd be a few more letters to deal with! Getting stuck into the tunes now. Cheers!

X-cellent! I knew you'd do it.

Now, onto 1 (one) 2 (two) 3 (three) and so on!!!!!!!!!
