Last week I was listening to Townes Van Zandt (one great songwriter) and “Pancho and Lefty” came on. It’s been covered by Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard, and I’m sure a few other artists. The best version still belongs to Townes. But that’s not the point of this post.
One of the great iPod features is the On-The-Go Playlist. It allows one to create a playlist right on the iPod. For kicks, I created a Within +/- 10 songs of “Pancho and Lefty” playlist. Here it is:
