13) She Was (live at the Somerville Theater)
14) She Loves a Girl
15) Speed of Trees (live from the boothbay opera House)
16) God's Promise (live from the boothbay Opera House)

Your input was very valuable to me in putting these songs together, thanks for the endless list of songs- and your input  is the reason why Galileo, Deliver Me, and The Speed of Trees made the cut, because none of them were on my lists. I added a 16th song on each cd to accomodate them. I am hoping the cd length can handle the additions... crossed fingers...

Songs that are sorely missed by me on this list... Last Call, The Ballad of Chris McCandless, Weightless, King of Seventh Avenue, Look at the Wind Blow, Trolley Car, Kiss the Sun, New Orleans... it goes on...

I am very excited for people to hear the new version of "Home" and the live version of "Snow in Austin"... they came out beautifully...
The rest did too, but these were a surprise.

Yes, the long ballyhooed "Welcome Home to Maine" is here to with Rachel Davis singing back up... It does exist!

Thanks again for the help in selecting the songs, y'all... see you out there...
