We were right there on the border in Presidio and we figured, “How could we not?” So we went. Yes, every single Mexican person laughed at me for not knowing Spanish. Yes, I only had American dollars and, no, I did not notify my bank that I would be out of country so my cardContinue reading “We went to Mexico!”

Playlist: all-Dylan Texas
I don’t know what affection Bob has for Texas, what part of the state captured the bard’s imagination, but it makes an inordinate number of appearances in his lyrics. Here are my favorite Texas-Dylan songs:
Playlist: Texas
Man, oh, man. We are in the west now, folks. It’s good to breathe the dusty air of the Lone Star State and drive the open roads (even though there’s more pickup trucks than people down here). Let me give you a healthy helping of songs to keep you sustained on the long lonely roadsContinue reading “Playlist: Texas”
Playlist: Louisiana
We are merely scraping the edge of the Pelican State to catch an interview or two and eat until our hearts’ content and our stomachs’ uncomfortably-full content. While we languish, here are some tunes that feel like the bayou and mention some locales from the only state with parishes instead of counties. Also, worth noting:Continue reading “Playlist: Louisiana”
Playlist: Mississippi
Let’s jump on the Nachez Trace and mosey our way southward. I got the tunes to help us wander our way through the Magnolia State. And here we have three very solid songs.
Playlist: Tennessee (again)

Playlist: Missouri
Back on the road and adding to our ever expanding playlist of songs that mention states and the places within states. As we head toward the Gateway to the West, we have a few more songs to add:
Playlist: Places in review
Okay, folks, while we wait out the snow storm of 2022, let’s play a little game of catch-up. We’ve been to 26 states and I have missed some tunes along the way. Here’s what I’ve added to our ever-growing playlist:
Playlist: Alabama
We only spent a single night in ‘Bamaland, but we hope to return in a couple weeks. Here’s a few tunes meant to keep our minds on the roads ahead. Fun facts: Alabama is home to a couple records including the world’s largest office chair and the world’s largest cast iron statue. Also, they buildContinue reading “Playlist: Alabama”
Playlist: Florida
We are heading to the southernmost parts of the US, folks. In fact, if all goes according to plan, we will spend more days in Florida than any other state on this journey, so we’re going to need some tunes. Here’s a list with a double dose of Dylan for good measure.
