- You Move Me Like A Slug-The Boorays (This was always a fun tune to play on KCOU, and it was a pleasure to hear The Boorays perform this live in Columbia, Missouri. The propulsive drums-and-bass intro draws me right into the tune. It's easy to find yourself drumming or singing along without realizing it.)
- The Other Side Of This Life-The Youngbloods (As I listened to this 1967 gem on "Sound Salvation," I imagined how The Guess Who might have covered it. Burton Cummings and company would likely have recorded this just as effectively as Jesse Colin Young and company.)
- Bog A'Lochain-Mary Jane Lamond (Mantra-like Celtic vocals with well-blended fiddle and bagpipes.)
- Stone Flower-Antonio Carlos Jobim (If you like Deodato's interpretation of "Also Sprach Zarathustra," you'll probably enjoy this album title track from 1970. There's some impressive, of-its-time interplay between violin, piano, bass, and drums.)
- Blow Away-A Fine Frenzy (There's an appealing energy here. Alison Sudol's alternately forthright and delicate alto voice serves the song effectively.)
- The 405-Isaac Hayes (A breezy, refreshing, guitar-dominated uptempo smooth jazz instrumental, with a hint of "Shaft" early in the tune.)
