Half-Marathon Mix for Sam

Here is the email Sam sent us about his music challenge, with my mp3s added:

Friends,

I was hoping each of you could pick 5 (15-20 minutes) songs for me to
listen to during my 1/2 marathon on the 18th. I want to make a 1/2
marathon playlist of music my friends make for me.

Here are some guiding parameters:

1. There are no guiding parameters.
2. Please think of things that would help keep you going, whatever that
means.
3. Please write a note in the id3 tag that tells a little about each
choice.
4. Pick a phase to accompany:

a) start me out and get me up to speed
Sketches Of Winkle.mp3
b) control my pace, I’m feeling good now and need to be reminded
there’s a long road ahead
Pinto’s New Car.mp3
False Alarm.mp3
c) lock me in for the long haul, drive me steady and stoke the fires
Da Art Of Storytellin’ (Part I).mp3
d) reality sets in that I haven’t run this far yet and I may not make
it if you don’t grab me and cross over the line with me.
The Argument.mp3

I will not listen to the tracks prior to race time and I was hoping you
all could just post them somewhere online for me to download into a race
day play list. I will post the whole thing somewhere online for all of
you, but otherwise you just get the satisfaction of helping me.

If you choose to accept this challenge I need it by the 17th!

Sam
