Midwest plains travelogue

The drive from Denver to Hutchinson, Kansas, is not for the faint-hearted. I believe good coffee and food are unlAWFUL over most of that distance (kept thinking of the David Bromberg line..."One more piece of cardboard pie"). Worse yet on Thanksgiving day when most businesses were closed. Thanksgiving dinner was a greasy skillet dish at a Denny's along the way. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen...Anyway, here's how I shortened the drive:

Heart--The Road Home
Led Zeppelin--III
Cold Blood--Thriller
O'Brien Party of 7--Reincarnation
Hot Tuna--Steady As She Goes
The Tony Rice Unit--Manzanita
Chet Baker--Chet
Assorted classical and jazz selections chosen by Sirius.

Worked for me. As they say, your mileage may vary.

Happy holidays, all!

"as Falls Wichita so Falls Wichita Falls", maybe they got their inspiration from a similar trip?

Schubert, Much as I love Bruckner, his greatest work was teaching Mahler. The transition from Bruckner to Mahler at the Fla line symbolized reaching the promised land.
Making that trip through Ga. down I-75 is, believe it or not, one of my bucket list items. It will be made somewhat easier by my impending retirement to eastern TN. This time, perhaps I can go Mahler 1 to Mahler 10 from the Ga line to the keys!

You're no doubt correct Brownsfan, perhaps because I have so much neurosis myself is the reason I see more in the calm humility of Bruckner than in Mahler.

Brownsfan, another call for the Vegas line robbed Cleveland of a win.
Amazes me how fans cling to the myth the NFL is above corruption.

Schubert, That was the most blatantly rigged sporting event I have witnessed in some time. That game, coupled with the Saturday night Buckeye loss, has me about to swear off football.
