- Driving Along-Nilsson (I'm not usually one for people watching while driving, but it's a fun tune for those who are so inclined. "Driving Along" and "Gotta Get Up" are among the best tracks on the "Nilsson Schmilsson" album.)
- Going To Dale's (Instrumental)-Gloria Attoun (Welcoming banjo picking with a melodic undercurrent of strings; the feel of the tune reminds me of Ken Bonfield's "From A Friend.")
- Smile-Melissa Stylianou (The warmth in the vocals reminds me of Erin Bode's voice.)
- Moanin'-Bobby Timmons (As much as I like the vocal version by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, I was glad to hear Timmons play his own composition on the piano. This is an excellent example of well-crafted uptempo jazz with a bluesy feel--and a strong hook.)
- Amazing Grace-Aretha Franklin (In a lot of churches, it's customary not to applaud after the performance of a hymn. I'm glad the congregation didn't adhere to that custom here. After an expansive performance of such feeling and reverence, how could you not applaud?)
- The Pachelbel "Loose" Canon (Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) (Variations on one of the most well-known Classical pieces in an impressive variety of styles, ranging from mambo to "For The Love Of Money" by The O'Jays.)
