Peter:

Upon further reflection, I'm inclined to agree with Steven ....
you know, Mark Kimes' "Bayou Brother".

I'll wager that the CD was made with ISO 9660 filenames, and thus
the longish Joliet (64 character) filenames were truncated.
Thus, they're not on the CD at all. You got what you got.

Perhaps you know someone in nearby Montrose where you could
test the CD on a Windows machine. Just a thought ....
