Post-Election Playlist

We are relieved this morning at the results of the presidential election. After so much muck and spin, my editors and I could keep down only small pieces of post-election coverage, including news that otherwise we would have enjoyed hearing.  Just now, the radio is off and we have made this playlist.

We err here on the side of a dangerous emotion, hope:

1. "Get Together" (1967), The Youngbloods
2. "Learning To Fly" (2000), Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
3. "I'll Be Glad" (2005),  Elvin Bishop
4. "Why Can't We Live Together” (1974), Timmy Thomas
5. "Anything's Possible" (2006), Jonny Lang
6. "Second Wind" (1995), Claire Lynch: You may want to hike the volume on this.
7. "Let's Work Together" (1970), Canned Heat
8. "Family Affair" (1971), Sly & The Family Stone
9. "I Am Part Of A Large Family" (2007), Great Lake Swimmers
