📻 🎵 🎧 Here is my second mix: No. 3 – Hip Hop

There is a fantastic steakhouse in Philadelphia called, Butcher & Singer. When you open their website, a song plays: Dream by The Pied Pipers. As a general rule, when a website that automatically plays music it is disturbing. However, I enjoyed the audio in this instance.

Dream is, well, dreamy and reminiscent. The attitude of the song fit perfectly with the theme of the restaurant. Upon hearing it I sprang into action perusing older tunes.

The result is this playlist. A smattering of tunes from: The Pied Pipers, Mel Tormé, Julie London, Chet Baker, Louis Prima, and more. Enjoy!
