A big HB to my niece and nephews, Hannah, Jack, and Henry, who all turn another year older right around now. We're emailing your mom some iTunes gift money so you can all pick out whatever music you want for your iPods, since we don't know exactly what you'd like to listen to.In the meantime, though, here's a mix for each of you. You can download them by clicking on the title underneath the cover picture. There's a lot of guessing going on here about your musical tastes, with some helpful hints from your mom. (Thanks, Dane.) Maybe you won't be totally into all of it, but hopefully you'll like some of it.
