Tracks Of My Life Spotify Playlist

   Eleven years ago I started a crazy playlist project on Spotify called "Tracks of My Life".  The playlist would consist of every song that I liked or meant something to me or I just somewhat remember liking once hearing it somewhere somehow.  You know memories.  Because that's what's always been great about music listening.  The memories, good or bad, that they bring up.  So, here I am eleven years later with a Spotify playlist that is 6465 songs, over 401 hours long (as of this posting date).  Just when I think no more songs will be added I'll hear something that I haven't added.  

Here's a link to my playlist.  Search for your favorite song or artist.  Chances are I've liked a song by them at some point in my 62 years of life.
