So. I took my dad to the Joanna concert last month and he enjoyed it despite having heard absolutely no music from her before. None! So now I want to make a good introductory mix CD.

Bearing in mind that the CDs hold maximum 80mins and Joanna has a propensity for long songs, this is a bit of a tricky task!

I originally included "Have One On Me" since it was in the set at my show, but I've discovered that cutting it allows room for some more. I don't want to overload the disc with longer songs but it's hard finding the balance.

I think I want to include the following (not devised an order yet)

'81
Bridges and Balloons
Easy
Soft as Chalk
Cosmia
Emily
Good Intentions Paving Company
Baby Birch
The Book of Right-On
Inflammatory Writ
Jackrabbits
Peach Plum Pear

Which, at 72 minutes, maybe leaves room for one more short-ish one.

So what do you guys think of the art of making a Joanna mix CD? Any success/failure stories?
