Random Playlist

I have been using my time as efficiently as I can obviously on this Sunday with no practice or Lao lesson.  During this time I was trying to think up a playlist for my Ipod.  This playlist is for those times driving through the rural Lao countryside sitting in the back of a truck with the wind blowing in my hair.  Small villages pass by and I have no idea what lies ahead, literally because I am looking backwards.  Rice fields abound, livestock, farmers, trucks and pants free children line these roads.  Sometimes we are stuck on a dusty road with seemingly no end, other times its a brisk ride on a more well maintained road with the Mekong on our side.  I have created a playlist which I present to you below.  I hope that in your free time on this upcoming Sunday, which you will be waking up to soon, you will look at this and think about your own personal playlist.  I invite you to check out the songs you haven't heard of and to reintroduce yourself with the ones you have.

I would love additions, comments, and thoughts.
