Wake up, little rover…

I’ve posted before on the wake-up songs chosen by the Spirit operations team, normally Mark Adler. Each sol, I’m going to try to track down what they played and update this list.And it’s not just for wake-up, significant events like cable-cutting and egress earn their own songs.
