The allure of shuffle mode LXXV

I was pleased that iTunes shuffle mode paired two tunes with acoustic instruments yesterday.  James Taylor's version of "Oh, Susannah," in which he takes liberties with the melody without compromising it, flowed into Alison Brown's "Wind The Clock."

It's fitting that Taylor's cover of the classic folk song about someone arriving "with a banjo on (his) knee" would segue with a pleasant, well-played banjo melody.
