looks like a great show, I'm d/l'ing it now. Was glad that you started with "Girl from the north country" - I'm sure most people know already that Simon and Garfunkel used the 2nd half of the lyrics in the first verse in one of their songs.
Posted by: Adam at February 19, 2007 8:05 AMGreat show. I love that version of Hwy 61 Revisited by Johnny Winter.
...and thanks for not playing any versions of "I'm Proud to be an American" (L. Greenwood). I've been fearing it ever since you started asking for submissions for this show. Now I'm very (very) relieved.

It wasn't your request, but thanks for including "Gulf War Song." Wow. Amazing. It's perfect.
The tone of the show was more somber than usual. I suspect it was intentional. Either way, it fit.
