Although she really loved it when I put on John Denver's "Country Roads" as we entered West Virginia.<br /><br />Sonia -- For me music and travel have been intertwined in my adult life.<br /><br />StMc -- Winslow and a lot of other places need prayers these days.<br /><br />Alison - Over all I'd say no she doesn't like most of my musical tastes, but I know what might appeal to her and try to program the tunes that way. Although one night coming back from Las Vegas I did crank up some Rush to keep me awake and she actually seemed to enjoy the music.<br /><br />Sara-- I think the twin arrows are somewhere near there. Don't recall exactly. It's a long stretch of driving from L.A. to Albuquerque.<br /><br />Maurice-- It always stood out for me, but I've listened to that song so many times in the past 35 years or so.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-58883113770640163812012-05-11T12:58:25.967-07:002012-05-11T12:58:25.967-07:00LOL I never noticed that line before!LOL I never noticed that line before!Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-11531060595623139802012-04-29T17:03:33.685-07:002012-04-29T17:03:33.685-07:00I remember passing through Winslow, AZ on my Route...I remember passing through Winslow, AZ on my Route 66 roadtrip.
