Since I'm starting to feel my age these days, like Sinatra sings towards the end of the song used for this mixes title: "I'm in the Autumn of the year," I decided it would be good to review the passing of the years in a mix. This compilation aims at using songs that include a persons age in it, which it does in all respects except for track 3. That track fills a ten year gap between tracks 2 & 4. The picture used is a painting entitled "1982 was a very good year".

Interesting. When I saw the mix title I thought "isn't it a little early to the year in review already", but this is something else. That Alice Cooper track bring back a lot of memories. It was an anthem for me and my friends. Nice to end with Sinatra, too.
