Daniel's Life Playlist - Just for Fun

So, creating the Ultimate #TeachAg Play List got me thinking...what would be my life sound track/play list. So, after some reflection, here is Daniel's Life as an iTunes Playlist!

I would love to hear any kind of feedback! Suggestions, laughter, etc. Yes there are plenty of Willie Tracks! Maybe this helps explains the craziness that is Foster...

What track would be on your personal play list?

The Ultimate #TeachAg Playlist

I believe music can be a very powerful instructional tool: both for fun and to cultivate a great environment.

In the past, I have interviewed students and created a playlist on their "favorite song". This year I had the idea of "crowdsourcing" the ultimate first day of Ag Teaching Playlist to share in my AEE 412 Methods of Teaching Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (#AEE412) for the #psuaged15.

Below is the result. I would really like it to be only 20 songs, so please make suggestions on which ones to remove or substituitions to make!
