"Daydream Believer" and "Mack The Knife", as well as a 20 minute medley of some of his favorite songs, and someone still provides a criticism - this is beyond my comprehension. I haven't stopped playing the CD since I've received my copy from Fred, and can't wait for volume 2.
(I also created my own cover, cd tray liner and cd label, and you should see the faces of people as they inquire which store I purchased this cd from).
