The name of my blog was taken from one of my favorite songs, "This Is Who I Am" by my favorite band, Cause and Effect.

Mix Tapes

Back when people used to listen to music on cassettes (if you don't know what that is, look it up) I used to make mix tapes. I was quite well known for my mix tapes among my circle of friends. OK - it was probably like 2 people, but they really liked them. And lately, people have been asking me to create mixes for their parties. So I've decided to share the track listings of some of my favorite vintage mix tapes with you so you can enjoy them. Feel free to use these to create your own fabulous mixes.
