I remember when I was a kid doing stage crew I spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking & planning what music I’d play when it was my big chance to select a song on the paint splattered shop tape player. I’d preplay the songs while jogging all week whittling it down to a short list which I’d carefully cue up the night before. (The shop master didn’t tolerate fast forwarding.) I’d always have a few options ready— in case someone wanted to hear another from the same composer. (they never did)
