Conference Mix, Fall 2008

If you are or have been a teacher with one of my children, you will get a minimum of 2 mixtapes during the course of the year - Ben Jammin' for Christmas and Silly Love Songs at Valentine's Day. But I am unable to stop there.  

Obviously.  

So now, the teachers get an additional mix at each conference period.  And once a teacher is on the distribution list, that doesn't end when Ben or Annalise move out of one classroom and into another - when you're on the distribution list, you're on the list.  So Ben's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade teachers, plus the principal and music teacher all get a minimum of 5 mixes during the school year.  And now we're adding Ben's 5th grade and this is getting a little out of hand...

In an attempt to make things a little easier on myself, I borrowed music from several of the latest mixes, added one or two new things, shook it around for a bit, and came up with this:

OK, It's Alright With Me - Eric Hutchinson

Little Romance - Ingrid Michaelson

Honey Let Me Sing You A Song - Matt Hires

We Got Love - Ryan Shaw

Temptation - Diana Krall

Lose You - Sandra McCracken

Mockingbird - Allison Moorer

Little Tornado - Aimee Mann

Fallen - Lauren Wood

Baby You're My Light - Richard Hawley

Road Runner - James Taylor

Imperfect - Keri Noble

Not Done Yet - Sarah Mac Band (hailing from Tallahassee, FL - some great stuff on their album)

Sara Smile - Joan Osborne

Lovely Tonight - Joshua Radin (that's Ingrid Michaelson singing with him)

All We Are - Matt Nathanson (Jeff got his album for my birthday, after conferring with Jim at Hot Poop and logging onto this blog at the store to get a clear picture of my musical tastes...)

Don't Let Me Fall - Lenka

Morningside - Sara Bareilles

Brand New Day - Tim Meyers

It's You - Pictures and Sound
