SueAnn Porter

Years ago when I had my first car and my first custom car stereo system, I did mix a tape and we played it until it got that “window sound” –which means it was time to throw it out the window. 😉

Many years have passed since then, and life has changed me. So here are the songs I would include in my Mix Tape so you can begin to understand who I now am.

1. Casting Crowns – Praise you in this storm

When times get tough, I put this on and scream/sing. Well, more screaming than singing.

2. Mozart – Marriage of Figaro

My cousin Michael introduced me to “Wolfie”. Michael has since left this planet, and I inherited his Mozart cds. I look forward to the day I see him again.

3. James Taylor – Fire and Rain

The good, the bad, and the in between: Life

4. Carole King – Smackwater Jack

Down-home reality.

5. Muse – Uprising

Every true American has a little Rebellion in their heart–Rebellion is what founded our country. My son turned me on to this song.

6. Dropkick Murphys – I’m Shipping Up to Boston

Rowdy Irish guys. Another scream song.

7. Tara Nevins – Stars Fell On Alabama

I am a sucker for some fiddle. This song was also covered by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday.And Jimmy Buffet

8. Keith Green – The Easter Song

The Gospel in 4 minutes. I also wish I could hit those high notes like Keith did.

9. Matt Redman – Better is One Day

I love me some Matt Redman. And I’ve been known to play this song 10 times in a row.

10. Lincoln Brewster – Salvation is Here

REAL CHRISTIANS ARE NOT BORING!!!

Well that’s enough for now…. My Tape Mix Masterpiece for the Daily Prompt.

(As far as I know, all the links to YouTube work if you want to try them out. I would recommend Carole King.)
