No Shania Twain? No Alanis?? No If I had $1,000,000????? What about Diana Krall, or is she the "wrong genre?"

Hey the guys wanted a compilation of good music... not the whiny stuff they don't miss.

Actually I'd already made a number of regular CDs and these are basically what was requested... well with a few additions by me.

Who knows maybe I'll recieve a flurry of angry emails about who I left out - but I doubt it because these are basically the songs that we play on the dock drinking... and in the end I think that's what Jay, Louis, Smitty, Duece, and Matt wanted - something to play in the Sgts. Mess while having a beer that reminded them of home.
