Notes:

#1 is said by numerous sources to be the first of two albums Clannad recorded with Enya as a member.  However, she isn't credited on the disc.  Odd.

#7 is a cassette I put together of songs from Fleetwood Mac's 90's releases Behind The Mask (1990), 25 Years: The Chain (1992), and Time (1995).  This collection could see an update on CD to include music from The Dance (1997).  Stay tuned.

#8 is a CD I put together combining Linda Ronstadt's Greatest Hits (1976) and Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1980) albums.  Rhino Music later had the same idea and issued this commercially in 2007.  So where are my royalties (ha ha)?

#9 includes two previously released songs, Theme From Harry's Game (featured in the film Patriot Games) and In A Lifetime (a duet with U2's Bono).

#11 was compiled by a member of a Yahoo discussion group I belong to.

#17 is a CD of instrumentals.  I met Tim Janis in Portland, Maine while on a cruise to Nova Scotia in 2008.  He autographed my copy of Coastal America.
