‘Cross the Green Mountain
Hello all! I hope all is good in your neck of the woods! For this week’s title, I chose kind of an obscure Dylan track – this was found on the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 release, and it’s a song that Dylan wrote for a Civil War movie called ‘Gods and Generals’. I hope Tom…

Drifter’s Escape
Well hello again friends! Thought that I’d forgotten about you? Why of course not! After heading home for a couple of months to take care of some health stuff, we are back out on the road! I will say – in my last post, when we got home at the start of March, I mentioned…

Home
So, one thing that always cracked me up about Tom Petty was that while most of his albums were under the banner of ‘Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’, he also put out three ‘solo’ albums just under his Heartbreaker-less name… but on all three of those albums, the musicians he worked with were pretty much…

Here Comes My Girl
Well, to get the key question out of the way right here in the lede – where’s Nico? Still loving his time in Tonto National Forest! I thought I’d do a slightly different blog post this week. I’ll still catch you up on what we’ve been doing since we last spoke, but also, in the…

Can’t Stop the Sun
“Can’t Stop the Sun” was the closing tune on one of Petty’s later albums, “The Last DJ”. Thought I’d go with this one, because this week, we put some new solar panels on top of our travelling caravan! This probably won’t be a big surprise, but as I mentioned in the last blog post, we’re…

Time to Move On
Hey everyone! Welcome to 2025! After four and a half months back in our fair city, it’s time to move on. As Tom Petty sang: Yeah, it’s time to move on, time to get goingWhat lies ahead, I have no way of knowingBut under my feet, baby, grass is growingIt’s time to move on, it’s…

Houses in Motion
Well, if you’re a big Talking Heads fan who reads this blog, you probably figured I’d get to using the title ‘Houses in Motion’ (from the 1980 release ‘Remain in Light’) at some point. This seemed like a good week to use it, since we found ourselves around more moving houses than we’ve seen in…

The Big Country
I went with “The Big Country” of the Talking Heads’ classic album, “More Songs about Buildings and Food”, because this week, we saw a whole lot of this big country. This is not to be confused with the one hit wonder 80’s band, Big Country, but while we’re on the topic of them, check out…

Burning Down the House
Okay – sure, ‘Burning Down the House’ was one of the Talking Heads’ bigger hits, but I don’t know that I was super excited to use it for a post title, because… well, because it probably meant something got a bit weird on our trip. I’ll start off by saying everyone is fine here! But…
Where’s Nico?
