The first thing you might notice is that I had a tendancy to repeat the same songs over and over on several CDs. I think I have this same tendancy, but now I recognize it and work harder to get a flow and theme to my CDs, so that lessens the effect. The second thing you might notice is, on the last CD, I break the "Cardinal Rule" of Mixing - there are two Micheal W. Smith songs in a row. I still do that, but again, my new appreciation for the art of a CD lessens that, as well.

Interesting story behind the name of the first CD. When I first burned it, it was comletely unlabeled - which goes to show how old it is. Anyways, we're listening to it in the car one day with Dad driving. We get to Track 7 and, half-way through, dad's like "Hey, this isn't English." Me and the boys got a kick out of it, and I named the CD to commemorate the moment.

One other note, there is no Car Trip II.

Ha, if I burnt you one, then it must've been way back when I only had a few hundred songs.
Which would xplain why they look so similr. That was possibly the first CD I ever burnt.
By the by, what was the title of the CD I gave you?
