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!

Too bad your drive was on Thanksgiving holiday. There are several nice Amish places to eat there. Hutchinson, Capital of grain elevators.

This thread is kind of funny to read. It reminded me of days gone by, trying to cope with the drive down 1-75 through Georgia. Bruckner symphonies--start up number 2 in Chattanooga, run through the rest of the symphonies, and don't cue up Mahler until you hit the Florida line.

Must of been a great let-down going from Bruckner to Mahler.
