So, what would you choose?

i can't narrow it down to songs so i'll just say i would take one disc by each of the following artists:
 
Ray Wylie Hubbard, Hank Williams III, John Prine, Robert Earl Keen, Jr., Townes Van Zandt, Gillian Welch, Southern Culture on the Skids, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan.  (Billy Joe Shaver, Kasey Chambers, and Yonder Mountain String Band were all close runners-up....lol). 
 
As for the book, i suppose i'd have to choose "Gentleman Junkie" by Harlan Ellison.  It's a truly superb collection of short stories i have enjoyed over and over again.........slave luci
