Daughter's Musical Education - Letter H
Hank Williams - 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection
Letter H and I are both very challenging to come up with music simply due to the limited full albums that I have for artists starting with those letters.
In preparing this blog post, did some reading on Hank Williams, turns out his birthday was September 17th, the day I happened to play this album in the car.

Answer to a Commentator's Question
Steve asked: "What are your top 5 favorite songs?"
Here is an answer simply based on play counts on my iPhone.
1) Bawitdaba - Kid Rock (43 plays)
2) La Cienega Just Smiled - Ryan Adams (43 plays)
3) Gonna Be Some Changes - Bruce Hornsby (42 plays)
4) Back in Black - AC/DC (42 plays)
5) Higher and Higher - Jackie Wilson (35 plays)
Historical footnote: Higher and Higher was the song playing at Sandra's and mine wedding when we were introduced into the reception. One of my wedding tasks was music and I felt I hit that choice out of the park.

Daughter's Musical Education - Letter W
I drive Lena to school Tuesday, Thursday, and every other Friday. I will also pick her up from volleyball practice a few times a week.
I started playing my favorite albums by artist in alphabet order starting with W. The routine is that I move to the next letter of the alphabet on every trip.
Lena is not aware of my musical lessons.
Letter W
World Party - Private Revolution
