Sha "El Jefe" Towers

Here is music from my boss Sha Towers' iPod. He is the music librarian at Baylor University, so this should be interesting. He was threatening a pay cut if I didn't hurry up and post his, so here it is.

2. "Radio Fragile" - Nancy Griffith

4. "La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin" (Claude Debussy) - Richard Stoltzman, clar.
5. "Valentine’s Day" - The Fairfield Four & Steve Earle

We need to get Margo's shuffle for a good laugh."

Well then, let's do that...
