When I originally supplied The Phi Mu Washboard Band's rendition of "Love Hurts" to the original 365 Days Project in 2003, there were several requests for the rest of the album. I didn't have the resources or ability to provide that sort of thing at the time, and eventually forgot about it.
But out of the blue last month came an e-mail request for the entire album, and this seems like the perfect venue for it. A few notes about the album, which I bought at the very last Mammoth Music Mart, which used to be an annual event in Skokie, Illinois, to raise money for ALS research, can be found at the original 365 days post.
Many of the songs are quite brief - some under one minute - and the entire album, which is a 12 incher, is over in barely 24 minutes. I have supplied the titles just as they appear on the jacket and the label, even though at least a few of them are incorrect (for example, track 14, listed as "I Can Smile" is actually a 1960 pop hit called "Happy Go Lucky Me", originally sung by Paul Evans).
And so, by special request, "...Just Because", by The Phi Mu Washboard Band:
11.) You Are My Sunshine (MP3)
It was worth the wait.

What a thrill and welcome trip down memory lane from an ol' Phi Mu and former member of the band. Thanks for your efforts in making this available to all!
