‘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…

Tentative Decisions
We are four and a half months into this amazing adventure, and the last frames of the trip are starting to come into focus. It’s just Tentative Decisions at this point (which happens to be the title of a nice track off the “Talking Heads: 77” album), but after hearing from our very dear friends,…

Pull Up The Roots
I decided to go with a song off the 1983 Talking Heads album, Speaking in Tongues for this week’s post. By the way, I haven’t used this meme in a while and it’s too good not to throw in again today: The trip has been amazing, but there have only been two spots so far…

Totally Nude
Am I just going for click-bait here with this post title? Am I making any of you taste your lunch sneaking back up in the back of your throat with the thought of me disrobed? At a minimum, are you intrigued enough to keep reading? Well if the answer was yes to any of those…

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…
Where’s Nico?
