Most incongruous song for the set: Frank Sinatra singing a Christmas carol. To be honest, when this one popped up I was sort of confused. I have no idea where it came from or how it got on here. An iPod mystery.
Live event I would have very much liked to witness in person: The filming of the Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson Storytellers. I imagine that it was a singularly spectacular moment of music-making.
