KAFM (Grand Junction, CO)
- Dill Pickle Rag-Chet Atkins & Doc Watson (A renowned guitar tackles this whirling instrumental, fit for an interlude on "A Prairie Home Companion.")
- Pray For Rain-The Devil Makes Three (An unusual blend of rock, country, and bluegrass, tilted most heavily toward the rock side, particularly in the vocals. The host of "Bluegrass And Beyond" explained that the area is starved for rain, so songs wishing for rain would be a recurring feature of today's show. I hope it helps.)
- Mountain Girl-Judy Collins (A lyrical reminder that we're all products of our environment.)
- All Blues-Liquid Soul (The Miles Davis classic, sped up and reworked imaginatively as a funk instrumental.)
- So Simple A Beginning-Renee Rosnes (An expansive, reflective piece, with Rosnes on piano, and more than able accompaniment from vibes, bass, drums, and especially flute.)
- Monopoly-Bud Powell (Exhibit A of why I need more piano melodies with a bounce in my collection.)
- How Hard-Kit Watts (Watts belts out commanding vocals, illustrating how difficult and unhealthy some relationships are.)
