The Gene Marshall track was the high point. I’d never heard (or heard of) that one. It almost makes up for you leaving off the Travis Morrison “Get Me Off This Coin…” songs.
Thanks Dave. i HIGHLY recommend the Off the Charts song-poem documentary, which you can watch for free online. As for blatant omissions, I can only play:
1) what i own legally
2) what the software recognizes
