Notes:
Lots of great covers and alternate versions of great songs yesterday.  It's really fun to hear the changes that different artists do to songs, especially back to back.  Sometimes I hear the originals first, other times the cover versions, as iTunes goes alphabetically by artist, but I usually list the original first unless it is not the more well known version.
Additional favorites from yesterday:
  • "Sign Language" by Eric Clapton
  • "Signe" by Eric Clapton
  • "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" by Stevie Wonder
  • "Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac
  • "Silvio" by Bob Dylan
  • "Simmer Down" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
  • "Simple Twist Of Fate" by Bob Dylan
  • "Sin City" by The Flying Burrito Brothers
  • "Since You've Been Gone" by Aretha Franklin
  • "Singing The Blues" by Guy Mitchell
  • "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger
  • "Sister Golden Hair" by America
  • "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding
  • "Six O'Clock News" by Kathleen Edwards
  • "Skateaway" by Dire Straits
  • "Sleep On" by Alison Krauss
  • "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny
I have to also mention that I heard "Sixteen Tons" by The Platters, but I don't have the original by Tennessee Ernie Ford.  I'll have it by the end of the day, because I'll get it from iTunes when I get home.
