Oops... Just noticed, I forgot to include track 24: Dr. John & Odetta doing "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?" Which bumps "Hard Times Come Again No More" to # 25. I'm still a little leery about editing the mix, since the last time I did it the entire mix disappeared. And thanks everyone for all the great comments!
