I"m there Bob. I might be a comparitive youngun at 60 but yep I"m already there
When I was working at Lakehurst 27 years ago, one of my coworkers was retiring to West Virginia and asked me if I wanted his Tom Waits albums. He had 21 of them, and I promptly turned them over to my best friend Don, who loved to listen to Tom Waits. When I dropped the albums (all in perfect condition) into his lap, he thought he died and went to heaven. Anyway, Tom has a cult following. I don't really get him, but I did like this one song about a guy who has no body below his beltline (Tabletop Joe), but makes it in entertainment anyway. Something about the flow and oddness of this song appeals to me.

The Billy Strings' Highway Prayers movie, reminded me of a recent video on the Freiburger Channel. It's not the Pines, and there is little music. But it does have an old Jeep, backroads, small towns, old buildings, and funny conversations. Stuff I think most of us would enjoy.
Makes me wish I could visit Snuffy Smith's.

Billy Strings is great I jam out to him often on the way to and from work. Just watched this Freiburger episode yesterday whole lot of neat old buildings and abandoned vehicles.
The cross-country Jeep tour brought back memories from decades ago. One of my best friends, who was in the Navy, was reassigned to the East Coast. I flew out to California, and we went cross-country in his Jeep. (It was in much better shape than the one in the video.)
We had a few adventures en route, including a snow and ice storm in Texas and a hotel room with no heat and the temperature around zero degrees F. My buddy had it worse than me -- he said that I snored worse than anyone he had ever heard in the United States Navy.

You know why they put women in cages back then, so old Bobby can't get at 'em.
I had my days with Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen. Right after that it was Asleep at the Wheel. I saw them in small church in Monmouth(?) County. Fabulous. This song by Bob Wills they did was a favorite of mine at the time.
