30 for 30

So I hit that milestone. And, yes, I did do some thinking. Rather than tell you everything I thought, here is what occurs to me would be an appropriate soundtrack for the last 30 years. Some of these songs remind me of people, some of places, and some of times. It is not a list for taste nor quality – except the quality of the lessons, memories, and stories of the past three decades.

Enjoy.
