  1. Chuck, I am impressed by the breadth of your music collection. I have a lot of these, but some I have never listened to, until now. Some great and appropriate selections.

    I might add Last Tears by the Walkabouts, Muddy Water by Seldom Scene, End of the Line by the Traveling Wilburys, Things Have Changed by (again) Bob Dylan, Can't Find My Way Home by Blind Faith, Miles from Nowhere by Cat Stevens, In the Year 2525 by Zager & Evans, Lyke-Wake Dirge by Pentangle, Unfinished Life by Kate Wolf, etc. etc.

    Cheers, and good luck with the apocalype!
