Mixtape 22-1

I used to love making #mixtapes and later mix CDs. I’ve been known from time to time to still put together a mix CD for a friend. And I’m always making playlists on @spotify, @bandcamp, or just in my notebook. One of the things on my 2022 More List is more music. And one of the ways I’m going to try to get to more music into my life is by making a weekly playlist of 11 songs. Here’s my 22-1 mixtape with a link in the bio of you’re interested in checking it out. And check out the artists’ Instagram pages for more info on them and how to get their music and merchandise.
