Name that tune..

Every few weeks Nate and I sit down in front of iTunes and we make him a CD. Each CD has about 20 songs and consists of a pretty broad musical spectrum, but mostly stuff from 1970 through the 1990s. When we lay down at night during bed time, we'll sometimes go through the songs on the latest CD he's listening to and talk about the stories behind the songs, the stories that the songs are telling, or about the music group and why they were influential. He'll often get stuck on a given song and listen to it over and over as he falls asleep. It's funny to see what he's listening to when I go check on him before I go to bed. I'd love to see him learn to listen to music with discernment, really asking questions and have a broad understanding of music to draw from as he figures out what he likes and doesn't like.

The current CD I made for Nate has the following artists:
Jethro Tull
Black Sabbath
