...begins with a soundtrack, of course.
One must have appropriate music for a road trip. While I'm just now listening through my selections, I thought I'd bring up the highlights. Must put on CD for trip; am leaving iPod & laptop at home, I think. Which means I don't know how often I'll get to update, but I'll try at least once a week. Low-tech trip, thank goodness.
Leaving songs:
"Ramblin' Man", Allman Brothers
"Truckin'", Grateful Dead
"Get out the Map", Indigo Girls
"Gone Daddy Gone", Violent Femmes
"Road Buddy", Dar Williams
Things you might see along the way:
"America", Simon & Garfunkel
"Iowa (Traveling III)", Dar Williams
"East to the West", Michael Franti
"In a big country", Big Country
"Amber Waves", Tori Amos
"I am a town" Mary-Chapin Carpenter
Mood songs:
"Are you out there? " Dar Williams
"You rise and meet the day", Dar Williams
"The End of the Summer", Dar Williams. Why yes, she's a good road buddy.
"Life less ordinary", Carbon Leaf. Bonus point: album is call Indian Summer.
"Come a long way", Michelle Shocked
"Freedom", Amos Lee
"Have you ever", Brandi Carlisle
"This is the world calling", Bob Geldof
"Golden Days", The Damnwells
Coming home:
"Long way Home", Norah Jones
"Almost home" Mary-Chapin Carpenter
There's lots more, but you get the idea.
One week and I head out!! Can't wait.
