That's probably a much better idea than what I did for my friend on his 40th.
I made a tape for him and said they were all songs by UB40.
I just picked out various tunes that had a number in the title, and changed
it to 40 on the liner notes, i.e.
The Beatles "When I'm Forty"
Joni Mitchell "Forty Grey Rooms"
Steely Dan "Hey Forty"
Paul Simon "40 Ways to Leave Your Lover"
Eurythmics "We Too are Forty"
Pet Shop Boys "Forty Divided by Zero"
John Lennon "#40 Dream"
I can't remember them all, but he liked the tape. I do like your friend's
idea Azeem. Thanks for sharing. I'll start working on Marcel's Box set now
:~)
