I tried to play only music that I knew he liked, based on convos we'd had over the years here in The Lesson.

It's heavy on the funk/soul/jazz tip, with a bit of hip-hop to start things off. I realize I omitted house and rock, but I hope it captures at least part of his tastes and did them justice. He had boundless knowledge of damn near all music.
