Morning walking workout is usually accompanied by music. Grabbed a tape of John Williams & the Boston Popps belting out the Olympic Fanfare and Theme (from recording named "By Request").

The interesting issue about this recording is that Williams himself directs. It is always a plus to listen to music played by its author. Average performance by the orchestra.
