pic above is of the hammock in my backyard.  My kids got it for me for

Father's Day and I love it.  I can't figure out why I didn't have one

before.  On many nights this summer I grab my kindle and a beer and lay

contentedly under our big birch tree.

Of course as a true music

obsessive I have speakers out on the deck that I control remotely.  So

whenever I head out to the hammock to read or just space out, I cue up

some ambient, classical or jazz and just drift away.

That's where I got the idea

for this mix.  I needed a new collection to keep me company while I sway

in the cool evening air.  For some reason when I think of "porch music"

or evening music, I think of ambient guitar.  So most of this mix is

guitar based, some more ambient than others.  A lot of it is fairly new

and all of it works well with bug spray and a beer.  I couldn't resist ending the mix with a tune from...Hammock.  

Enjoy
