We were road-trippers too. Bands like Foreigner, Tears for Fears, Styx, and Jefferson Airplane all take me baaaaaack.
Great selection of tunes. (But Escape is by Rupert Holmes, not Jimmy Buffett.)
When you search for the music on the service, you can’t change the titling. And you seize on the ones that actually work. But I know:). Believe me, I know.:)
Road-trippin’, indeed. On my last road trip with my parents, when I was 20, I picked up my 46th, 47th, and 48th states of the Union, to go along with seven Canadian provinces. Most epic trips:
–1982, from outside of Nashville to the Grand Canyon, then north to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore before angling back home.
–1985, from West Texas to Victoria, B.C., then back to the mainland, up to Banff and Lake Louise, then back home via Glacier and Yellowstone.
–1987, from West Texas via Virginia to Maine, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, then back through Nova Scotia, New England, Quebec, and Ontario to re-enter the States at Detroit. Then back to Texas.
Good memories. Thanks for bringing them back.
My parents played Captain & Tenille, Beach Boys, and John Denver 8 tracks on our road trips (wow, that was a long time ago).
Thanks for stirring that pot of memories
*sigh* you just brought back memories for me Meg. We used to trek up to my relative in Prince George, or out to Shuswap Lake, or over to Alberta…we always had our “road trip music”…(now I’m singing…my baby takes the morning train…he works from 9 to 5 and then…he takes another home again to find me waiting for him LOL)…I hope we both find road trippin’ men!
I’m torn between thanking you for such a wonderfully vivid post, invoking such fond memories of my own family road trips or for turning me on to Mixwit. I’ll just thank you for all three. Well maybe not for the afternoon I lost playing with Mixwit.
I’m trying to instill that same love of the road in my two daughters (6 and 3.5). Every chance we get, we travel all over the Midwest in search of big, fiberglass roadside attractions. The tunes are always on. I wonder what their soundtracks will include?
Isn’t is great? The prospect of not knowing what you’ll see or do, but knowing that when you finally get back to the place you started you will have lived an adventure?
There’s something old-time-romantic about road trips.
I don’t think I can say it any better Meg…
Road Trips are probably the best memories I have as a kid too. And the music just takes you right back to those times.
I couldn’t have made a better tape myself…
K-O-M-O… Seattle….
Needs more Willie Nelson and Simon & Garfunkel, with a sprinkling of Vivaldi and Bach.
If you like Pinaaaa Coladaaaaas! I love that song!
Do not, however, have road tripping memories attached to it, but other memories that are better kept to myself… ;-)
god, great post. makes me smile and get all teary thinking of the long trips i’ve taken across strange and lovely lands.
I remember lots of road trips when I was a kid, too. From our home in Ontario out to BC and back by car, and out to the Maritimes a couple of times. My brothers and I used to amuse ourselves by writing down the colours and mottos on the various license plates we saw. We’d read Marvel comics, and MAD magazine, and play with those Yes & Know Invisible Ink books.
I remember lots of different campsites where we’d stop with our pop-up trailer. I remember being so relived if they had real flush toilets, not outhouses.
Can’t wait to do long road trips with my kids…just wish I got more than three stinkin’ weeks of holiday a year.
iTex is right about the Vivaldi and Bach but both of you forgot about Stephan Grappelli and ooh ? – someone whose name escapes me -getting old I guess. You were exposed to a well balanced musical environment -with the stringent exclusion of Elvis. Yer Pa had his standards! I wonder if we could do it again?-the road trip thing , I mean. That’s a rhetorical question sweethearts. Oscar Peterson! that’s it!
I don’t remember much about back then, but I certainly remember road trips. I think. All I know is Florida to Canada.
Too bad expensive-as-sin gas will likely cut down on road-trippin’ for kids these days. It builds character.
I appreciate the valuable information you offer in your post. I will bookmark your site and have my children check up here often. I am rather sure they will study lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
