I love Horace, Erroll and Alice, and the others are great too. And I love the artwork, where does it come from?

it's called "John Faed, Tam o'Shanter and the Witches" dated 1892 (print year). apparently, it is illustration to the poem "Tam o' Shanter," 1790, by Robert Burns the Scottish poet (http://darkclassics.blogspot.com/2011/07/john-faed-tam-oshanter-and...)

Oh, thanks! It rings a bell... of course! I think my mom had a song about him. She has lived in Scotland for years, so she knows a lot about scottish popular culture. I'll ask her about that!

Really lovely mix, aunty, and a great concept. Surprised they didn't stretch that article to '8 jazz trailblazers' and throw in Mary Osborne and Dorothy Ashby though.

hey, the mixes aren't going anywhere! i don't expect everyone to be interested in, or get round to hearing ever mix i put out - and yep, i have put out quite a few since i got out of hospital. i have the same feeling though - i follow so many people that i feel like i must miss some great mixes from some of my favourite 8trackers.
