Spring Jam #2

Inspired by my attorney's previous post, here is my attempt to present another few songs worthy of your springtime ears. Flavio, I hope you won't mind me taking #2 of this Spring Jamz series.

Spring: (noun) the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May (some random dictionnary)

"Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"  - Robin Williams

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."  - Charles Dickens 

"Now every field is clothed with grass, and every tree with leaves; now the woods put forth their blossoms, and the year assumes its gay attire." - Virgil


it's springtime, friendz

Now that Rob, Chuck and Viggy have contributed to this article for inspiration, here is the result of a fair amount of brainstorming for a springtime mix (that's right, a whooping 18 songs for you guys)
