Kick Ass Mix Tapes

Sometime yesterday I realized that I could recreate all my awesome mix tapes from the 90's using RealRhapsody. I asked Healy to send me the playlists for some tapes I made for her in high school and then I set about recreating MY FIRST MIX TAPE EVER. I actually did not make this mix tape; I got it from Cathy Westbrook who drove me to school when I was freshman and she was a junior. She had gotten it when she was a freshman from her "big sister". It is simply titled "Junior Retreat Mix". Hearing this tape for the first time was a major formative musical experience for me and influenced much of my musical tastes. RR has all but 5 songs (starred).
