A Little Travelin' Music

When traveling by ATV I like Handle's "Water Music." Driving Interstate 5 in California between LA and Sacramento the stimulation and infectuous rhythm of zydeco by John or Gino De La Fose, conteract the boredom of the route and the tule fog. The Texas Tornados, Flaco Jiminez and Butch Hancock serve well when corossin the Mojave Desert. For a burst of adrenalin anywhere, I sing along with Tom Leher. "Poisioning the Pigeons in the Park," is better than a cup of coffee if sung while the windows are down. Driving the Old Redwood Highway in Northern California goes well with Eine Kleine Nacht Musik and Bach Preludes, Tocattas and Fugues for organ. I need this to relax between assaults by speeding logging trucks tailgating my little Toyota MR2- tranquility and terror. The Columbia River Gorge in Oregon- Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Sleepy LaBeef. For commuting between Sierra Madre, CA and the Jet Propulsion Lab, je prefere Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Lous Capart, Jean-Pierre Breteche or Felix Le Clerc. Someday I hope to have an out-of-body experience wherein my body commutes while my spirit cavorts in Paris, or Brittany or Corsica or Morocco or....

I listen to the show to learn and to be entertained. Thanks for doing a good job.
