Warm Up

Neil Young – Harvest Moon (Harvest Moon) (5:05)

The vocal performance and audio quality on the CD are much better than the following video.

Queen Latifah – Hard Times (The Dana Owens Album) (5:21)

Stretch

Linda Ronstadt – Cry me a river (Hummin’ to Myself) (4:25)
This vocal gives me chills.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Summertime (The Best Of Ella Fitzgerald And Louis Armstrong On Verve) (3:35) (removed intro)
To use this song for Stretch, I’ve removed the trumpet solo at the beginning. I start when the vocals come in.


Willie Nelson – Stardust (Stardust) (3:52)

Circle

Franco de Vita – Tu de que vas (Stop) (4:01)
This is a nice, slow song to start CricIe. I would probably find the lyrics too sappy if they were in English, but I like the song in Spanish.

You can hear the whole song on YouTube.
Eva Cassidy – Wade in the water (Songbird) (4:02)



Beach Boys – Surfin USA (Surfin’ Safari/Surfin’ U.S.A.) (2:28)
This song is a bit fast, but it works.


This video is a live performance from a long, long time ago.

Across the Floor

Santana – Smooth (Ultimate Santana) (4:03)

Kate & Anna McGarrigle – Love Over and Over (Love Over and Over) (4:07)
