Long live the MIXTAPE

Dearest readers, I'm so excited to fill you in on a new feature I know you will all enjoy here at RH! One of my best friends, Margaret, has always been our go-to-gal when we need a good party play-list and she has generously agreed to share her mixtape wizardry with you all from time to time! Here's a little teaser of what Marge's Mixtape will entail! Get pumped. I certainly am!

Long Live the Mixtape! An introduction to “Marge’s Mixtape”

By: Margaret Henney, Guest Author for Romantic Hippie   

 The mixtape was popularized in the 80’s, progressed in the 90’s and perfected in the millennium with the help of personal computers and MP3 players. While the art form of crafting a themed playlist has certainly evolved over the years, the essence remains the same: A collection of bomb-ass songs, connected by a thread, created for the purpose of rocking out.

Although I don’t claim to be a connoisseur of music, I am somewhat of a Black Belt when it comes to constructing playlists. Thankfully, I have wonderful friends who indulge me when it comes to my hobby, which is why I am humbled and honored to have been asked by the lovely Mrs. Mannies to author a recurring guest column for Romantic Hippie: Marge’s Mixtape. I look forward to periodically hooking up RH readers with themed playlists for your listening pleasure and encourage you to submit requests for specific themed lists. Whether you’re in the mood to rock, dance, relax, mope or sing your heart out, I’m here to provide a soundtrack!
