mixtape: happy father’s day

So, the theme mixes continue and I realize I really enjoy the challenge of piecing these together. The hidden theme on this one is father’s day. Well, of course, because that’s when I’m making it and for my pa. Follow the track letters down and it spells a surprise! These are all songs my dad really enjoys. We were listening to a much longer mix and pieced this together from that from his reactions and things he and I grew up listening to together. We have fond memories going to one of our first concerts together (Metallica, ACDC), some of our earliest shared listening (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden), recording me playing drums in the basement (Rush, Dream Theatre) and even a Father’s Day concert past (Black Sabbath). Great memories and hopefully a mix he truly appreciates too.
