Some Christmas records for the kids

The CD Recorder has fundamentally changed the way I listen to music. I now often put my favorite songs on CD-Rs; so a baker's dozen:
1. Cowboy Junkies "Waltz Across America" and "The Caution Horses"
2. Melissa Etheridge, CD-R of "Greatest Hits"
3. George Thorogood "Anthology"-- this CD set ROCKS, and GT gives you your moneys worth!
4. Soundtrack from movie "Dirty Dancing", 1 & 2-- poor recordings but great music.
5. Waylon Jenning's GH
6. Jerry Lee Lewis, 3 CD set "Legendary"
7. Jacinta, Diana Krall, Holly Cole, and Shirley Horn CD-R of favorite female jazz ballads.
8. Shirley Horn "Ultimate"
9. Loreena McKennitt "Book of Secrets"
10. JJ Cale "Guitar Man"
11. CD-R from Alison Krause "Forget About It" and Allison Moorer "Alabama Song".
12. Compilation CD-R "Blues & Soul, Nice and Slow"
13. CD-R compilation "Blues and Rock, Nice & Hot"
Cheers and Happy Holidays. Craig

People listening to classical music seem to be a pretty small minority here
