Favorite 80s fun, the MIX TAPE!
Remember how cool it was to make and receive mix tapes from your friends? Oh my gosh I loved to make tapes for people, and of course, if a boy actually took time to make you a tape… well, send me over the moon! Mix tapes were such a part of growing up in the 80s. I remember one time my friend and I thought it would be fun to make a radio show mix tape, with songs and of course, our witty banter. It was so funny to listen to (or at least we thought it was). I’m sure neither one of us would have been a popular DJ with our silly humor and jokes about prunes for “get up and go”. But it was fun anyway!
So, in honor of the great tradition that is a MIX TAPE, I created one on iTunes featuring some of my favorites from the 80s. Man, I could have added so many more songs! I hope you enjoy (and if you are feeling generous, I am always one to happily receive mix tapes, on CD now, but the feeling is the same).

LOL too funny! It’s weird when I was a kid I wasn’t into that so much but I had a friend that was a wiz at making mixed tapes! Now my oldest makes them on CD’s for her friends.

I loved making and getting these. I still love to make mix CD’s for friends. It is just so thoughtful to know someone picked out music just for you. Thanks for making one here!!

I just made two mixed CDs yesterday for my long drive coming up. They weren’t as cool as your mixed tape though.
