A Smart Playlist

Posted about 5 years ago
Last year around this time I switched computers from a laptop to an HP desktop that I am still very happy with. One of the consequences, though, was that I had to import my entire iTunes library into the new computer, which effectively reset the play counts on all my tracks to 0.About a month ago, I used iTunes to make a smart playlist of all the songs that had a play count of 0, to find out exactly what I hadn't listened. There were more than 2000 songs.When I'm bored, I like to put the list on shuffle and just see what comes up. Today, it was this old chestnut from a Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong album that I bought about a decade ago at the Princeton Record Exchange.Ella and Louis always remind me of a particular girl who I'm sure doesn't bother thinking of me anymore. I don't miss her either, but all these years later, "Under A Blanket Of Blue" is like a little smudge of chocolate frosting you find on your lip twenty minutes after you finish eating your birthday cake - the teensiest, teasing morsel of a happier moment.
