A Lookback of The Music
I am still very close with my group of high school friends. Actually, to be fair, I met them long before high school - Somewhere around first grade, actually, when we all went to different schools but came together each summer for Laughing Brook wilderness day camp. Yeah, it was the tops.
Anyway, about twice a year, I make them a CD of the best songs I’ve heard since, well, the last CD. They don’t have to be new songs, just new to me. This is the first one I’ve made since starting AlexShebar.com and I figure, hey, why not share it with the world…or at least with future me as I go back and read past entries. For that reason, you can ignore the Photoshopped picture of said high school friends and the inside reference no one’s going to get - it’s simply here for the sake of Future Alex. Speaking of, Future Alex, what is up? Are robots and flying cars and self-microwaving burritos everything I thought they’d be? I bet they are.
