Notes:
I made it past the 2,000 song mark today, closing the day with 2,022 songs.  So I'm still not 1/6 through the library yet (not including skips & holiday songs).
The last song of the day was appropriate for Halloween, but it was pretty terrible.  I really think some box sets are just crammed full of garbage. Another great Halloween song was played today.  "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)" by Jimmy Buffett.  Since Halloween is on a Sunday this year, I'm glad I got a couple songs so close to the holiday.
There were also eight "Diamond"songs, which closed with "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" by Paul Simon.
The D's have been pretty fantastic so far.  Hopefully I get some good stuff tomorrow as well...  Because it's my birthday!
