I don’t use Spotify YET, but found this in their forums:

> [@](#):

That appears to make all of your playlists public, however. I don’t know if it has the functionality to make only one public. Maybe we need an account specifically for this playlist. I have too many music sources to manage already (nice problem to have), but I’d join Spotify for this.

Right click - Make public.

Right click - Copy Spotify URI.

OP checking in.

As it looks like the suggestions are winding down, I’d like to open it up and invite those who have contributed to submit a second choice. I would ask that your second nomination be from a different artist than your first.

I have been listening to this playlist pretty exclusively and am enjoying the hell out of it. There are a handful that I don’t care for that I will soon remove, but on the whole it is quite enjoyable and certainly displays the variety (and good taste) of the community.

Thanks for participating!

_Ali D’oro_ by Zucchero which does feature John Lee Hooker (there are two versions, one in English and one in Italian)

_Golden Country_, REO Speedwagon. It’s a rocker from 1972 that’s relevant today.

Hmm. I went and found it on spotify, and provided a spotify link - but I’m in the UK and I’m given to understand quite a few posters are in the US. There are presumably rights issues.

Try ‘The Ghost of Stephen Foster’ by The Squirrel Nut Zippers.
