Canadian Indie
- Silver Velvet-The Courtneys (A driving beat, spirited vocals, and a memorable hook draw the listener in.)
- J.M. Kraus: Sonata In E major, VB 196 (Jacques Despres, piano) (I heard a definite resemblance to Beethoven in all three movements.)
- Brownie Eyes-Clifford Brown (An ideal trumpet piece for late nights that would segue with Sean Jones Quartet's "We'll Meet Under The Stars.")
- Lenteur Tzigane-Christine Tassan et les Imposteures (A thoughtful, elegant midtempo piece for guitar and violin.)
- Forest Dawn-Ron Korb (Forest animals playing flutes--well, not really, but that's how it comes across. Balancing animal sounds and musical accompaniment is somewhat tricky, but both elements come together here.)
- J.S. Bach: Cello Suite No. 6 in D major, BWV 1012 (Mstislav Rostropovich, cello) (A perfect match of source material and performer; if you know someone who doesn't usually care for Classical music, this might melt the ice.)
- Too Busy Thinking About My Baby-Marvin Gaye (The chorus has stood the test of time; I don't hear it played on oldies stations as much as I once did, but I'm glad it still gets played.)
