Last year, for our 10th anniversary, the annual “Deepest Digs,” focused on a couple of songs from each year of Melting Pot. As such, aside from the two in the mix, I didn’t highlight other tracks posted during that year. In truth, there were only a handful of tracks that I could have brought together because the pace of posting had slowed so dramatically. This year wasn’t much better on that front, but thanks to that closing collection of posts just before 7/7, I could combine tracks from both years to create the usual mix. And so, this mix brings together 20 of my fave tracks shared here over the past 24 months of Melting Pot…Dig On It!!!
