Hey Kevin -

All those are great songs.  My favorite is probably the Beatles "Here comes
the Sun".
Glad you like the pics!

Hey Chris,

I put together a special CD to listen to while watching/imaging the transit:

Track 1 (for just before sunrise): "Waiting for the Sun" by The Doors.
Track 2 (as the sun broke through the trees):  "Here Comes the Sun" by The
Beatles.
Track 3 (during the transit): "King of Pain" by The Police.

Great images, BTW.
