Excerpt from a recent Reuters news item on MSNBC:

"Having trouble sleeping? Don’t bother with a cup of cocoa or counting sheep — listening to music at bedtime is the best way to get a restful night, Taiwanese researchers have found."

45 minutes' worth of soft, slow music lowered heart and respiratory rates, helping induce restorative sleep.

So what're your recommendations for 45 minutes worth of soothing Lightfoot?
Here's my first pass at a "Lightfoot Prescription" (I know, I know, it's longer than 45 minutes - but why fool with a good thing?) In no particular order:

The Pony Man
Harmony
Beautiful
Always on the Bright Side
Christian Island
Clouds of Loneliness
Tattoo
Why Should I Feel Blue
Fine As Fine Can Be
If You Need Me
I'll Tag Along
Lazy Mornin'
Restless
On the High Seas
Looking at the Rain
Song for a Winter's Night
Whispers of the North
Pussywillows Cat-tails
It's Worth Believin'
