Burn Blue has one my heart for more than one reason. Last night's fund raiser for Haiti just made me overflow with love for the organization and all those who run it. There was an amazing turn out with $3200 raised for Waid, Hans, and their families.
My contribution to the raffle was a one-hour set list, which I burned to a CD for someone to win with their raffle ticket. I'm listing it here for those who were hoping to win it. I'm including an album name with the songs so that you know where you can find these songs.

I'm not super familiar with blues music (sad, I know) as much as I love dancing blues, but I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE that you put Steamroller by James Taylor on that list. It's an awesome song. :)
