Classic Vinyl
- Hymn 43-Jethro Tull (If you're 40 or older and have even the slightest affinity for album rock, you've probably played this recurring guitar riff on a real guitar or air guitar, maybe involuntarily.)
- Kiss Me (Exclusive)-Marie Miller (An endearing acoustic cover of the Sixpence None The Richer hit.)
- Airport Love Theme-Vincent Bell (The wah-wah-wah-wah reverberation screams, "1970!" I keep expecting Barry White to start speaking over this of-its-time R&B arrangement.)
- Walking In Rhythm-Blackbyrds (Some of the sunniest vocals of the '70s, fit for days when everything is going right.)
- Summer Wind-Willie Nelson (Nelson sings this with grit and understanding, and the backing instrumentation, especially the harmonica, gives the lyrics additional heft.)
- Gravy Train-Lou Donaldson (We should all feel accomplished to make it to age 91, as Donaldson has, and have walking saxophone melodies as hip as this among our life's work.)
- Ask The Lonely-The Four Tops (This was a hit in 1965, but I don't think I've ever heard any radio station play it. If you need a heartbreak-based tune in which to wallow, this is it. Levi Stubbs conveys every ounce of pain the lyrics require.)
- Tally's Lullaby-Karen Marie Garrett (A heartfelt, sensitive melody for piano and cello.)
- Frederic Chopin: Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op.52 (Arthur Rubenstein, piano) (Beautiful synergy between the treble and bass clef parts; an initially tender piece that indulges appropriately forceful flights of fancy.)
- Out Of The Blue-Maysa (Smooth vocals in an uptempo groove fit for late nights. Also recommended: "Friendly Pressure.")
