Road Happy
Well, given the theme of this post, I wanted to work in a Willie Nelson song with the word “Road” in the title… …but it felt too early to use “On the Road Again”, so I went with “Road Happy”. Fooled ya! “Road Happy” was a song that Willie co-wrote with Dolly Parton for the…

‘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…

First Week/Last Week… Carefree
So this week’s title comes not from the Muppets, but from the Talking Heads’ debut album, “Talking Heads: 77”, which not surprisingly came out in 1977. In general, I think it’s a bad idea to put the year into the title or lyrics – it makes it feel dated. “Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s…

April in Paris
Okay… I’m taking a one-post Talking Heads hiatus, but I thought this Ella Fitzgerald/Count Basie classic would be the perfect title for this post, aside from two minor facts: first off, we didn’t get to our most recent destination until May first, so we didn’t exactly get there in April, and second of all… well,…

Nico Nico in Coconino!
Okay, we’re going to put the Talking Heads song titles away for a post here, because we enjoyed the word play around Nico and our current location. Credit to Kristen for coming up with the post title. I was trying to think of a way to change up “Copa Cabana” to “Coconino”, but to no…

This Must Be The Place
Okay… This may be the last Talking Heads song I go with for a title. I love this little tune off “Speaking in Tongues”, but I realize we’re well past where anyone outside of pretty big fans will know what the heck I’m referring to. Anyway, I’m sure you’re curious what “must be the place”?…

These Paws Are Made For Walkin’
Another song title used for a post title, but this time not the Talking Heads. I have to thank Kristen for coming up with the title for this week’s travelogue, and Nancy Sinatra for the wonderful song (although I still argue her best songs are “Somethin’ Stupid” and “Bang Bang”). So… the question once again,…
Where’s Nico?
