“To enhance your reading experience”
I didn’t listen to all the songs in this order until now, I randomly looked at the list while reading and thrown something on. Now that I’ve finished it and even wrote a tit-bit about it myself.

So does this make up for almost posting nothing this week? Because that’s an epic and huge playlist! I guess it’s a few pages in the back of his book so off course it’s going to be very, very, very long. I really enjoyed it, never got bored with any of his tracks he’s picked, everything was pretty great to me and not a bad song. Thanks to Tex for including something like this in his autobio-book. Some I know and love but a few are newbies to me.
How about you? What do you think of all these? Please do let us know if you do make it all the way through the list too, OK?

Hey, another interesting list to explore! How about putting together Spotify playlists for such thing as well, and sharing those. Will make it easier to listen to than separate YouTube vids. Just a thought! 🙂

I don’t know about that really? When I did start doing those playlist posts I did make them a few times but Spotify was missing so much stuff when it came down to it and it seem no one listen to them anyway. But Dylan and Beatles are both missing on YouTube this time. I think did asks at some points about what people liked or didn’t but no one seem to care about it then. I kind-of think readers or listeners will pick out bits and maybe not listen to the whole thing anyway because I know when I go back and look that’s what I do and some do say that to me too more that they listen to everything but I guess if they only had to press play once it could be different. I’ll think about it, OK?
Cheers again David 🙂

No worries. Like I said, just a thought. I understand the effort required, especially if nobody seems interested. Still, appreciate the hard work you put in with these informative posts anyway. Cheers. 🙂
