The letter C

From Canada to Coronation Street in 18 songs. The Creatures are/were Siouxsie and Budgie; the song a cover of the Troggs classic. Elsewhere, we have Nat Cole and his trio facing off against the great Charlie Christian playing a live version of the guitarist's signature tune Flying High. Also some nonsense from Ivor Cutler, a bizarre Bill Cosby rocker and a slice of Texas country from Guy Clark with guest Waylon Jennings. Folks, the letter C in brief.
