I made this mix a year or two ago for my mix group. I wanted to capture the feel of a summer garden party, or a lazy day in the backyard reading in the chaise or hammock. In the shade, of course.
tracklist
| 1 | Edith Piaf : La foule |
|
When I was a kid, summer meant running from one neighborhood house to another and this song just makes me itch to run. Also, Edith Piaf ALWAYS makes for great party music.
