Shuffle Those Songs

So the Meme directions are simple. Go to your iPod or iTunes or whatever MP3 player you may have. Hit the "Shuffle" button and list the songs that are scheduled to come up next. What kind of music lover are you? Here's my first shot at it.

1. Orange Blossom Special - Bill Monroe
2. Prayer - Sweet Honey In The Rock
3. All Night, All Day - Chanticleer
4. An Poc Ar Buile (The Mad Puck Goat) - The Chieftains
5. Money (That's What I Want) - The Beatles
6. Were You There - Paul Robeson
7. Let Me Love You One More Time - Ralph Stanley
8. Tennessee Waltz - Chet Atkins
9. In The Sweet Bye & Bye - Preservation Hall Jazz Band
10. Cannonball Rag - The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Various Artists
11. Born On The Bayou - John Fogerty

Or Again:

1. Down On The Corner - John Fogerty
2. Vertigo - U2
3. Oye Como Va - Gipsy Kings
4. Psalm 91 - Lincoln Brewster
5. Strange Brew - Cream
6. Something's Coming - Stan Kenton
7. Cotton-Eyed Joe - The Chieftains & Ricky Skaggs
8. Shoe Shine Boy - Louis Armstrong
9. Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes - Jimmie Dale Gilmore
10. Ishmael - Abdullah Ibrahim
11. Amazing Grace - Dukes of Dixieland Jazz

(Can you say "eclectic?")

Hey, this can be fun.

But I am surprised that there's no Bob Dylan on either list. There are probably more Bob Dylan songs on my iPod than any other single artist. (Yes, the Beatles come next!) Oh, in spite of that, bluegrass and jazz are probably the top genres.

What's on your mp3 player?
