Catching Up with the Past: MA-36, MA-40, MA-44: 45s & Favorites, Discs 4-5-6

Right here we have an example of updating something -- all earlier posts (before January 1, 2015) of my music compilations have bad links, due to the dread "file-host shuffle."

The "45s & Favorites" bunch comprises both songs I bought as 45s during a long involvement with pop music's fringes; or songs I wish I'd bought.  A few of the songs are dubs from my own 45rpm records, while most are more recent rips from CDs or online sources I've tracked down.

If I could simply have all of these playing as background for a week, what a happy week it would be!  I like to load my 25-CD player with 'em and hit '"RANDOM."
