I believe in giving back to the musicians who helped inspire the writings I put together, so I drafted up a soundtrack for your consideration, like the mix tapes (or CDs) of old, when some young libertine would spend far too long on things like sequencing, track length, emotional ebb and flow, rhythm, tempo and how people would respond to the music.

Of course, cassette tapes are a relic of a forgotten day, and CDs are going that way fast. Kids of today, consider it a playlist. That should keep this idea comprehensible for at least a decade or so.
