Kay Robin Alexander's Elaborate Phil & Friends Picks

My logic in picking these songs was as follows:

1. Covers many people would recognize but that have (mostly) not been
overplayed on the radio or by other bands;
2. Singable, usually if transposed into another key but some would work
in the original keys;
3. Variety of lyric themes ("Whipping Post" is too negative, but there's
nothing wrong with sad songs; I tried to put in some sexy stuff 'cause I
remember how much Phil enjoyed singing "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?");
4. Interesting musical potential (for jams, of course, but also if the
guys want to slip in something quick and upbeat, like the Dead used to
do with "Me & My Uncle").

OK, here they are, by artist. Obviously many are pop throwaways. I
marked the ones I feel most strongly about with an asterisk. About 20 of
them were suggested by my husband.
