Just based on how Letterman does his musical acts I would rule out Fitz. They have to come in under, I think, 3-1/2 minutes. I know Fred Eaglesmith, who appeared in June and I got to talk to the day before and 4 days after taping said they had to get that time frame down. They went through several different ways of getting the song to fit the time slot - deciding to cut some of the length on instrumental breaks and such.

Since there is no new product to push my money would be on Sundown. IYCRMM would be my second guess. I'll love it if he proves me wrong. Those a great songs but I'd love to hear Don Quixote.
