Tom Murphy, an English teacher, created this soundtrack to accompany 
_The Things They Carried_ by Tim O'Brien 

Once again, many thanks to all for the help in jogging my memory. I've had
a lot of fun putting this together and considering the possibilities ...
and shopping around in iTunes.

In the midst of this, I started thinking I might do a "soundtrack thing"
for other novels we read. Right now we're reading As I Lay Dying ... I'm
imagining that Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music would have
much to offer for that one.

Here's a listing of the end-product along with all of your most excellent
