 I also like to put in my soundtrack to Riverdance for my longer trips,
 

 
 Now you are going to get Kevin (6Quigs) going, that is his all time favorite!! At least I think it is anyhow, he threatened to Riverdance on the roof of my trailer, so it must be his favorite!!Or one of them anyhow....[][][][:@][>:][]
 

 It s what got me into actual Irish Folk Music.  I got to see them when they were here in KC..and we were so close to the stage..we could feel their sweat hitting us when they danced.  Have 2 CD versions...and the DVD (note....don t play at full blast on surround sound...makes things fall off the walls).

On the way there: (fun tunes)
 Depends on where we are going. Like to pick songs about places we are heading to when possible.
 
 On the way back: (more mellow tunes)
 Seven Bridges Home by Lowen and Navarro
 Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver
 Sailing by Rod Stewart
 
 
 Honeybee - Try the Wiggles or Bear in the Blue House for a change of pace in  kids  tune!  I find myself tapping a toe to Bear on occasion.

I thought about this again, and when we are on the road, we tend to scan the radio stations to hear what other areas are playing. In our travels we have found some true gems. The one that jumps out in my mind is KBAC in Santa Fe, NM. We used to listen to them over the web, but with changes in the music industry, they quit streaming their broadcast. Bummer!

It really is too hard to narrow it down to 5 tunes, but here are some artists that I always enjoy reguardless of where we are going.....
 
 Jimmy Buffett
 James Taylor
 Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
 Bruce Springstein
 Fleetwood Mac
 Aerosmith
 AC/DC
 Hootie and the Blowfish
 Avril Lavigne (sp?)
 Michelle Branch
 Rod Stewart
 Nancy Wilson
 BB King
 Louis Armstrong
 David Sanborn
 Vonda Shepard
 
 and the list goes on.  I like any music really.... but some artists are truly so much more talented.... especially when they are storytellers.
