Thu, February 14, 2008 - 4:09 PMExcellent list. I'd add
"Sister Golden Hair" by America
"Lights on Broadway" by The Bee Gee's
"WIldfire" By Michael Martin Murphy (?)
"American Tune" by Paul Simon
And... sorry about the loss of your mom. I lost mine three years ago, and most of the songs you have listed make me think of her.
