Odetta does Dylan songs that noone else does -- majestic and strong, invested with much meaning.
Freberg's oddball takeoff on Dragnet.
Yes, I played a marching band song not from Stony Brook's band. The familiar name here is Willson, who wrote Music Man (Till There Was You, 76 Trombones, etc.). He apparently served under Sousa himself for about 2 years! (He followed that with time in the New York Philharmonic.)
Rajaton (Finnish acappella) reminds us that we may not want what we wish for.

Why does this song from the Magnetik ones make my tummy yearn for an Italian sub?
If you're looking for great NGOs/nonprofits/charities to be involved with, check out the ones described in the booklet for this U2 tribute CD, and its online site. These are the real deal. (Some of them are already listed to the left of this posting, and linked from the Spirithome.com site.)
