Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just this morning I heard on Weekend Edition a cover of LL's My Radio by a group called Halloween Alaska or something like that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Phew, okay they're all up at Buffistarawk.
All well worth owning and I tried to steer clear of the most obvious "Monster Mash" and "Don't Fear The Reaper" selections.

It's a nice mix, but I could've used a little more cowbell.
