Favorite moment with music in your car.


1970. I had one of Norelco’s first car cassette players. I’d connected it to 4 box speakers. Had my honey at my side, driving 8 kids up the hill to school every day. We’re in my yellow 1955 Ford Station wagon, dubbed ‘The Bus’. Music blasting, kids singing along to:
Aretha, Van, Uriah Heep, Supertramp, Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Doors, etc

Please share your own.

Here’s Rodney Crowell recounting his first hearing of "I Walk The Line" in 1956, driving in a car with Pa and Grandpa. Johnny Cash makes a cameo appearance on the chorus.

 

 

 

My most astounding moment was listening a Russian mathematician turned musicologist chanting old primitive Gregorian hymns as it was supposed to be song before the Gregorian reform.

I missed  the road accident by few inches because it put me in a trance and ectasy.😊

Some can with their voice induce modified consciousness as hypnosis.

It takes almost 9 minutes with a deep bass  soloist voice to go out of the letter "A" of the word alleluia and the same for "A" in amen..

It was so different that what most people call gregorian singing that it is one of the greatest musical event in my life ...I discovered after that he used what is called "harmonic singing" voicing and overtone singing in the acoustic of Monastery to recreate gregorian hymns before the standardization of Saint Gregory the great.

 

 

 

not my car, but my buddy's nissan hardbody mini truck. does anyone remember those?  he built a giant subwoofer box with 2 15 inchers and some horns for the back, covered by a shell.  may have been like a 300 watt cheap amp too.  we drove around with the cure's primary blasting for about 30 mins.  if anyone knows the bassline, you'll understand.  i was in the back taking it all in.  damn, that was loud, hit me in the face and in the gut. i will never forget that.  to be young and dumm. 

1980 I'd just broken up with a girl named Joyce.

My buddies and I hopped into a friend's car. They had a surprise for me.

One guy put on Devo's 'Freedom of choice', and they all began to sing alone with it using slightly tweaked lyrics, "Freedom from Joyce!"

Not one of them could hit a note, but it sure made us laugh.
