That Cohen thing was pretty awesome, so BOS1.
BOS2 to one of the few John Mellonhead songs I like.

Yep, but not sure what the origin is.  Maybe a Bridge Concert collection?

This is turning out to be a pretty good set. A few obvious choices, but some good picks too (Cohen, Newman, Patti, Lennon).
Let's get right to it.

I'll have to listen to this tonight, but it's amazing how much better the themed sets have been compared to the year sets (granted it's only the second theme set of the RR era).

Listened. Combined with the halo effect of Obama's re-election, it sounded sweet indeed.
