You know, I'll be 40 years old next year, and I'm finding I'm getting more and more sentimental for the music of my early childhood, which is predominantly the music of the 70's.

In my house, my dad had a very large collection of 8 track tapes, and you would usually hear playing:

James Taylor
Roberta Flack
Simon and Garfunkel
Seals and Crofts
Gordon Lightfoot
Jim Croce
Anne Murray
Barry Manilow
Marvin Gaye

She started about 15 years ago, bailed for a few years to raise her family, and just got back into the recording biz again. The passing years made her voice better, like a fine wine.
