Today I drove through West Nashville. As I was there, I had to pull up a song to listen to. @NJchicaa will approve. 
I’m on my way to Memphis, although I didn’t make it today. That brought up another song. 
Yes, listening to the music is the cheap way to travel. A great way to travel. I can’t travel without the music. But I do prefer the travel.
I’ll detail my terrific history lesson later (which taught me something about music, believe it or not!), but I wanted to first say hey!
The photos are my infotainment screen in the car when I stopped at a rest area.

Watch out, they’re doing yet MORE construction in Nashville. I don’t think they even do construction, they just move the lane closure barrels every year.

I have not been in Nashville for years and years without getting in that huge interstate traffic snarl due to supposed road construction!! It’s way past the ridiculous stage!

@MarieCoyle @FourWalls It is amazing how road construction in some areas never really gets completed! Louisiana is a typical example!

The radio is usually on if Pretty and I go somewhere but I'm not paying attention to it. Pretty usually has something weird playing on it. 
I don't say anything. Most of my attention is either on the road or replying to whatever she's talking about at the time.

Yeah, I know, you wouldn’t know a song if it slapped you. That’s how I know someone has hacked your account, when “you” say you know a song.

I have a playlist (haven’t transferred it yet) called “Travelogue.” I have all kinds of stuff to annoy, I mean, enjoy.

And the brains of an amoeba to drive!
I still enjoy it, but I certainly understand why people don’t want to drive.

@FourWalls I admit that even in my corner of the world I am landlocked. I drive to Olympia maybe twice or so a year now but no further due to the freeway traffic. I no longer enjoy driving near semi trucks and fast drivers.

Music is a great way to feel better when you are traveling.

Yes it is! You just can’t have a fast song playing near a policeman though!

I always regret having a meltdown on our way to the Keys. My hubby was very disappointed; and I"m sure he was resentful of me.

I don’t know why, you couldn’t help it, and those things happen for a reason. I had a major panic attack in Wyoming and took that as a sign to not go to Idaho and Washington.

@FourWalls The traffic was just so bad; and I knew he wanted me to drive. I think that's why I froze up. I told him in the morning that I was better and we could continue; but he turned around and went back home.

As I told NJ Chic, the version of “Memphis” I grew up with was Johnny Rivers’ single, which we had for some reason (my dad usually poo-pooed rock and roll).

@FourWalls My Dad was the same as your Dad, he even only liked Classical Music and Opera.

We had the 45 of Johnny Rivers singing this when I was a kid. That’s “my” version. Sorry, Chuck (Chuck Berry wrote it).
