  1. An amazing collection that, alas, hits a little too close to home at the moment. I would settle for “Amazing Grace” by most anyone, “Ain’t No Grave Gonna Keep my Body Down,” and maybe the Allman Brothers’ live version of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “One Way Out.” Warren Zevon’s “Keep me in Your Heart” maybe just for HXC. And while I love “Wipeout,” maybe Johnny Thunder’s “Pipeline.”

    1. Oh man, how could I have missed ‘Ain’t No Grave!”? Or Cold is the Ground by Blind Willie Johnson. or indeed, one way out one of my all time Faves by the ABs. Damn. I’ll have to live a bit longer to make another list! Sending healthy and happy vibes your way Eric.

      1. “Cold is the Ground” is fucking epic. There are a ste of songs from the 1920s-1930s from throughout the south and across the color barrier that are honestly pretty amazing.

        thanks for the well wishes–they mean more than you know or imagine.

  2. Ha ha! Indeed! Hopefully before the day itself I will have about 3000 such lists! No will yet. But got the songs queued up!

    Mate, that John Barry is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much. It’s going on to the next iteration!

    Cheers
