The allure of shuffle mode LIII

iTunes pairs waltzes together only occasionally for me in shuffle mode.  Last week, however, it segued Leo Kottke's "Crow River Waltz" with Gloria Attoun's "Barefoot Waltz."  I'd listened to both guitar instrumentals separately many times, but it hadn't dawned on me to play them back to back.

After hearing how well those tunes mesh, it hit home how captivating a 3/4 time signature is in the right context.
