Slowin' Down with Fast Eddie 
This post brought back memories of your “Summer 2010” playlist, reminded me of your exceptional playlist-making skills, and got me VERY excited to see what you have up your sleeve for “Summer 2011.” Expectations are high.
Work on Summer 2011 is underway. Looking forward to the test. July 4th playlist is ready to go. Come over for the unveiling.
Great song list, Eddie. How about some Diana Krall, especially “Departure Bay”!
