This is my last mix on zero and fittingly, it ain't done till Aretha (pictured) is done singing the blues. While my other three entries for the last ZeRO mixathon were put together fairly well in advance, this one came together just a couple of days ago on a Friday night, just two days after my last employer cut me loose due to lack of sales on my part (and yes, I was partying regardless of that fact and the fact that I'd be loosing the ZeRO site in my life soon afterwards as well). All things indeed do have to come to an end and I suppose it was better for ZeRO to go out strong rather than to have it fade into the land of the lost like the MTC site did. Whatever comes along to replace the old musical stomping ground may just pump some new life into my mixing; at least that is a potential. I'll be hoping for the best and not expecting the worst (there may just be a silver lining to all of this unfortunate business). Peace, Love, and Understanding to all you groovy freaks out there!

So many faves here, including two that jump off the page (Tyrone Davis and the Isleys.) As always, a wonderful walk through the past.
