Bluegrass Junction
- Rattlesnake-Tony Rice (This guitar-and-fiddle instrumental could segue with "A Waltz For Mairead" by Solas.)
- Slide (Instrumental)-Calvin Harris (A steady, midtempo keyboards-and-bass groove suitable for a rainy night playlist.)
- Caught In The Rain-Fleetwood Mac (This atypical contemplative instrumental with vocal punctuation segues well with "Finale" by The Waking Hours.)
- Blue 'N' Boogie-Wes Montgomery/Johnny Griffin (Any ensemble that can sizzle at this rapid tempo for over nine minutes deserves the listener's respect.)
- Put On A Happy Face-Mike LeDonne (The coolest version of this tune I've heard; LeDonne slows the tempo way down and leaves plenty of room for improvisation on the Hammond B3 organ. I could imagine Jimmy Smith approaching the tune similarly.)
- Grazing In The Grass-The Friends Of Distinction (On a day when everything is going right, I'm always glad to hear this overtly sunny oldie with its slang from 1969.)
