Abbi, I really like your list of songs!
raggedy mom: It's funny you should say that.
I used to be a big music freak in high school and college. I had a huge tape, then cd collection, i used to tape songs off the radio, make mix tapes for my friends, they made for me.
All of this work culminated in a rather large wallet of cds, that represented pretty much all of my music taste, that I lost one of my trips back from Israel, soon after I moved here in 2000. I never replaced the cds, because I was already on my own and it seemed such a luxury to spend 20 dollars on a cd. (somehow, with allowance, it seemed more like a necessity)
Then I got married, had kids and started working and I never got back into music. Now I download (only music that I used to own.) to listen to stuff while i work on my computer. So, basically my music taste is frozen to where it was in 1999 or thereabouts!
