OK, so, removing the Preamble entry, this is the 100th post on The Buzz!!

Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, inspired, and commented here.  It’s been an absolute thrill to get to know you (or know you better!).  I try to provoke discussion, so I definitely appreciate people who tell me I’m wrong!

I gave a lot of thought on what to do for the big 100th post, whether it be a list, a retrospective, etc.  As you know, we cover a lot of different ground here, from PR, social media, sports, pop culture and more.

Music, however, is very important to me.  I was a bar mitzvah DJ when I was in high school, and transitioned to radio while I was in college.

I’ve always been fascinated with a concept I call “The Soundtrack of My Life.”  The jist is, you pick 18 songs that MUST be included in a biopic movie about your life.  No other rules apply.  Any piece of recorded music is fair game.  I made several CDs trying to capture this essence, and every one of them was different.  Of course, the 18 songs will change as you have new experiences, are exposed to more music, have more life to cram into 18 tracks, and so on.  This IS not a favorite songs list.  This is music to be played in your life story.  Some of them are included for instrumentals, others for lyrics, and most, hopefully, for both.

I hope you will place your 18 songs in the comments section!
