I'm Just A Girl With A One-Track Mind: A Music List

' } else { echo 'As much as I generally loathe music lists, every once in a great while they take shape around me. It happened again last night as I was playing DJ on BellyUp4Blues. I'd been plunked down in front of the controls and told there were three songs left in the lineup and to please take over for a while. This happens regularly here. And you know, it was good to take a break from my Blues society board meeting duties, editing duties (both writing and sound — long story there), and the typical, day to day business to which we all must attend.

So, how does this all tie in to having a one-track mind? Oh, yeah. Well, there I was, finishing up with the preprogrammed list and I was scrolling through the music archives, searching for a song or artist I wanted to hear. I settled on one and hit play when I was supposed to and moved on to find the next tune. After a few of these, I realized there was a pattern to the songs I'd chosen — subconscious or not. Once I realized what the pattern was, it became a mission to find even more music to fit the theme.

What was the theme? Take a guess.
