Day 6 - Song Title "November Rain"
Play an album that fits perfectly into a cold gray rainy day.

Have really been enjoying the tones of this one, nice release that came out this year. Americana-y at moments, singer songwriter fare. Oh, and a song titled All This Rain. Kinda how this Portland weather has been lately.

I think they'd be up your alley. I remembering hearing them years ago, but kinda forgot about them. Happy they put out a good one.

Wham! Make it Big

They did make it big with this album and the filler tracks are pure 80s commercialism with songs like “Credit Card Baby”

Day 8 - World Adoption Day
Play an album by someone who was adopted or who adopted children themselves.

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Ella and Louis

Apparently both were adopted, learn something new every day!

Edit: Damn I need to get a new copy of this, I scratched the first two songs one day and it's driving me nuts. This was from the cheapo sale and the D'agonisti (sp) and sounds pretty great otherwise.

This is the song that started playing in my head when I saw the challenge for today. But I don't have it on wax!

The first song that came to my mind was Biggie Smalls’ “Mo Money Mo Problems”. I could’ve went with that (I have the 12” single) but I decided on Donna after looking through my Discogs.

When I bartended back in the day Donna Summer got burnt into my brain cause she was on the jukebox. Coulda used some Biggie on there!
