I recently came upon a CD that was made up of music for road trips. Now, I'll be honest. I was in a hurry and didn't take time to read the selections, but it gave me an idea. What if we created our own road trip play list? (This is where we'll need lots of input.) We should have different categories depending on where we'll be traveling, time of day, mood, etc., but since you all have your own tastes, and we'll need tons of music to keep us busy (and perhaps singing), we'd love for you to provide us with tunes, songs, possible categories that you think would add to our experience.
There are the obvious selections: King of the Road, I Can't Drive, Running on Empty, Highway to Hell, Drive My Car, On the Road Again, Hit the Road, Low Rider, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, Life is a Highway, Roam... But we realize that not all songs should be about cars, driving, or the highway. We're going to want songs that get us up and singing, songs that get us in the mood for being in the car, and even songs for long driving stretches or mellow times such as driving in bad weather.
Please: begin sending us your suggestions! We'd love to compile a huge list and get it ready by early June when we'll have lots of other things to be worrying about. Should you have time, we'd also love for you to put your tunes on CDs and send them to us. We'll take pictures of where we are when we play your music and post it to the blog.
Thanks so much for helping us out with this one!
