What pops up when you put someone's music on random

Next week Boston''s own guitar hero, Johnny A, is releasing "One November Night," a live CD/DVD set recorded at Scullers Jazz Club on - you guessed it - one night last November. To mark the occasion we asked the virtuoso shredder - who is distributing the new project through his website, www.johnnya.com - to set his iPod to shuffle and give us a glimpse of his music collection. No tracks from Johnny''s desert island artist, Chet Atkins, popped up, but Glen Campbell did.
1. "Do It All Night," Curtis Mayfield
2. "Rain, Rain," Bill Frisell
3. "Good Times Bad Times," Led Zeppelin
4. "L.A. County," Lyle Lovett
5. "Steve''s Boogie," Eric Johnson
6. "Boys," the Beatles
7. "Out of Sight," James Brown
8. "Gentle on My Mind," Glen Campbell
9. "Sling Shot," Jeff Beck
10. "Blue Echo,"Lenny Breau
Total songs: "I would say four or five thousand. How do I find that out?"
Glad we missed: "I think people would be very surprised to know I am a big
Gerry Rafferty fan." February 24, 2010
