Happiness Notebook Mixtape Week 1

(Indigo Girls from pickettphoto.com)

After a week of vigorous debate on the selection and worth of each of our nominated songs, we have our first group of tunes to add to the Mixtape.

I've tried to add a 30 second excerpt of each tune. Just click on the song title to hear it. Beatles' songs are not available for preview.

Beatles - Here Comes the Sun (1969) (excerpts not available, you should already own Abbey Road anyway)

Katrina & the Waves - Walking on Sunshine (1983)

Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold (1998) or Sting - Fields of Gold (1993) (I included Sting's original version because I like it.)

Bob Marley & the Wailers - Three Little Birds (1977)

Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine (1989)

Get your happy thinking caps on. Tomorrow we'll solicit more nominees.
