Singles : Princess Falda’s Old Time Faves

CB is going to break it up for this take.  Just because.

About 20 years ago, CB was sitting around doing nothin (as usual), bitching about the state of music on the radio.  “Turn that shit off” or “Nothing but shit comes out of that box” something along those lines.

Roughly two weeks later, Princess Falda (CB’s daughter) threw a CD on CB’s lap and said “Quit your bitchn Babyhead”.

So here’s the playlist of what Falda put together for dear old CB.  I still give it a spin now and then.  (Just listened to it recently and was inspired to write this)

I do love that Princess Falda.
