Musical Interlude: I caught a snatch of this while shopping the other day, and it stuck with me. One of those tunes we've all heard at one point or another, one of the most popular instrumentals of all time. Here's a vintage live performance, introduced by Dick Clark!

"Sleep Walk," performed by Santo & Johnny.

Musical Interlude: Here's another new discovery of mine, from yet another old episode of Mountain Stage. It's a nice, uplifting song, an anthem for those who want to bring change and reform.

Musical Interlude: I don't know much about this artist or this work, except it was included on a compilation album and I love it. Very 60s Euro vibe.

Musical Interlude: Here's one of the loveliest songs I've ever heard, one of the best recordings ever, in my humble opinion. A duet cover of a song by singer/songwriter Greg Brown, I had the privilege of seeing this performed live on stage at Wolf Trap, an amazing experience.

"One Cool Remove," performed by Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Musical Interlude: I spent most of the day hanging at my house, waiting for a plumber to come...only to call them and find out that they have me scheduled for TOMORROW. Sigh. I could only laugh; it's not worth getting upset over.

But while I kept going to the window every time I heard a car stopping, I remembered a sketch from the Tracy Ullman show where she's waiting for a repairman to show up, and singing this song....

"It Must Be Him," performed by Vikki Carr.

Musical Interlude: Here's another song from my young days; my parents were fond of this one. It's also a big example of what was later known as the "Nashville sound" or the "Countrypolitan" style, which took country music and added lush strings, smooth tones, and backing choruses, to make it more in line with the pop charts, and pulling country music further away from its honky-tonk roots.

"Rose Garden," performed by Lynn Anderson.

Musical Interlude: Here's another oldie, a song I truly cherished back in the 90s and still holds up. My sister surprised me when she confessed to loving it too, and wanted hair like Kate's.
