Notes
Short day today due to the NLCS game, but still a good day of music.  I didn't even realize that Rod Stewart recorded "Country Comfort."  Surprises like that are making this project even more fun.  I also haven't listened to the White Album in a while, and hearing "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" today reminded me that I need to listen to it again soon.  Perhaps this weekend...
Short day again tomorrow - ALCS at 1:00PST and I'm doing some training at work, so I'm not too sure how much listening time I'll actually get in.  As a result, I may or may not get the C's wrapped up tomorrow.
