A lot of songs kept crossing my mind during my two different 6,000-mile cross-country road trips during the last six months.
As Mugs (I was solo on the trips except for my English Bulldog) crossed the USA via four different routes, we were able to put places and landscapes with a lot of songs I’ve heard over the years.
