The Zimmermann Note

This mix was inspired by a friend of mine, Adam, who is part of the Dirty Avocado’s, which is not your mother’s Guacamole. Instead they are a Adventure Racing Team, braving the environmental factors such as the weather, terrain, and their equipment.

Per his request in asking for a nice mix of songs to play while battling the extremities, I came up with a “Relatively Small” list of songs (50 to be exact) that would hopefully put him in his “Happy Place”.

I will hopefully post a “Podcast” or three of these songs for your listening pleasure later on but I thought I would offer this as an eccletic mix of Happy Songs.

In coming up with these songs, I tried to loosely base it off a “Psychaedelic” theme. However, even in dealing with that theme, we do cross over into other genres of music from time to time.  You can read, critique, and lambast here and then later on I will let you sit back and relax and enjoy the ride.
