CCR TOP 25

Last night I imagined a new subject for this site. Again I make no guarantees about my ability to follow through on this ambition. However, I was enjoying an album that has become very special for me and I began to list, in my mind, all the music that I have come to love. So, I decided to write short stories about each of my favorite albums. Generally speaking, they will all be from the last 4 years of my life. The real turning point for me was when my brother Dan left for College in 2006 and I was left at home to my own devices. So, in summary, the albums listed below are just 25 pieces of music that are special for me. I hope to, from time to time, tell a short story about each of them.
