we are one playlist.

No, no, not "we are one playlist" － if we are one something, then I'm fairly sure it's not a playlist (though there are worse things).

Here's my latest ipod playlist, inspired by today's We Are One Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. The songs are the same ones performed at the concert － though mostly by different artists, since many of the original recording artists are long gone － through track 15; the final four songs I added just for a "change."

Uplifting listening as we launch a wonderous week.
