Guest Alex Burr Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Regarding "Whose Names Are Unknown" - it's available thru amazon.com (why not!!!) I sometimes wonder if there is any book amazon doesn't have access too. I recently found another title, subject being life in the 1930's and 1940's depression era oil fields. As I recall, since the book is in Maine and I'm in Memphis, the title was "Diddy Wah Diddy". I bought it from Amazon or Allibris, tho a search for it just now didn't bring it up.

Wilson Pickett-- Sang such great roadsongs as "Mustang Sally", and "In the Midnight Hour". Called the Wicked Pickett either for his way of singing are off-stage antics. His CD is on my jukebox of top-ever albums, which will give you a good idea of how I rate his music. The movie "The Commitments" was about an Irish band's struggles to play that great southern soul music. Pop a Pickett CD in and get ready for some good driving. He was 66. Interesting. I did some great cruising and partying to his music back in the sixties. Sanora Babb-- Talk about your day late and dollar short. She wrote a highly acclaimed book on the migrants from the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl era which was scheduled to be published, except someone else beat her to it, and her manuscript was put on the shelf. Only recently, was "Whose Names Are Unknown" published. I have not read it, but have heard it is quite good. Probably, the only person I can think of with as bad of luck would be Elisha Gray of Highland Park, Illinois, whose patent for the telephone was beaten to Washington by a couple of hours. That is why we have Bell Telephone instead of Gray Telephone. By the way, the fellow who beat her book to publishing was J.S., or John Steinbeck, to you and me. His book was "The Grapes of Wrath." Perhaps we wouldn't have the moniker "Mother Road." I wonder what she called it? She was 98. Donald Fry-- founded the Fry supermarket chain in Arizona and California. He opened his first store after World War II. I have not been out to these two states yet, so am not familiar with these stores, but I admire anyone who builds his own business from the ground up. Jim Gary-- Mr. Dinosaur out in the New Jersey area. He created many excellent dinosaur scultures out of junk 50s to 70s car parts and I believe even had an exhibition at the Smithsonian. I absolutely love to be driving down the road and look to side to see something you don't usually see. His work fits the bill. If I ever get out to New Jersey, I'll definitely get out to see his stuff. Several of his pieces are on display at a children's park in Camden, and, I believe by his home. He was 66. Feel free to add anything else you know about these people.

Guest thehinge@magpage.com> Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 So, I haven't missed any route 40 messages then. Too bad.... evidently a lot of the roadies are coming over to this group. That's not a bad thing. Yes, and I agree with you that should bring a coast to coast walker some hot java. Geez, that's pretty brave doing it in the Winter. Remember, Mark (the Perfesser), he did it from early spring to fall. That's gotta be a little easier, although Mark may have started when the temps were in the thirties some nights in the Appalachians, too.

Guest roaddog_rt66 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks for the information. I have several thousand albums and 45s and would love to find a way to put them on CDs. Until now, I wasn't sure how I'd go about it. Just proves that if you wait long enough, it will come. Wasn't there a movie about that at one time? I have a 200 disc CD player and love it, however, many friends are almost driven to violence because I am prone to doing the guy thing with the remote. Now, I'll be able to hear that great stuff, some never pressed onto a CD while I cruise those great old roads. Keep on Down that Two Lane Highwayand Listen to Those old songs.

Guest rudkip@sbcglobal.net> Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 NOTE: You may have seen part of this ditty already; if you did, the stuff I typed to day starts at "Part II") Quinn, Natalie and I chose the coldest weekend of the year to trek the Lincoln Highway from Dixon IL to Aurora, IL....cold as it was, it was a blast! Before Hitting the Lincoln, we trekked across the awesome old US 51 bridge at LaSalle Peru...then took US 6 through LaSalle, an old industrial town on the Illinois River...stopped at Abe's L-P Family Restaurant in LaSalle for some excellent grub in what had to have been an old Lums! Got some flavor from one of the patrons, who complained about the fish, but ate the fish, then attracted Natalie's attention with a nice belch (bringing a "warm" reaction from Natalie)! Two buildings down we found an awesome piece of signage at Rudy's Liquors (a bit of eclecticism in and of itself)...several cool buildings don Route 6 before you hit the "ugly" road (I-39)... After a few minutes on the interstate, got off to hit the Lincoln (SR 38) at Rochelle...on the way West, we cruised through Rochelle on to Ashton...a cute little town with several old buildings from the Lincoln Highway era...here, we followed the "original route" for a spell, till we got to the gravel and saw nothing but ice! Took a minute for a photo op, admired the scenery, and moved on... From Ashton we followed 38 to Franklin Grove...enroute you come across 4 of the highway markers placed by the Boy Scouts...they are in amazingly good conditon! Part II Got to Franklin Grove, which is a neat little hamlet chok full of the Lincoln Highway--complete with highway markers painted on electric poles. The downtown area is very picturesque, and there you will find the HI Lincoln Building, the National H'qarters of the Lincoln Highway Association. Had a nice conversation with the proprietor, who was prepping the place for some music that evening...it has been a labor of love fixing the place up, but is in excellent shape for a building that is 246 years old! On the way out of Franklin Grove, got some pix of an old bridge tressell outside of town and a piece of old highway leading to it...it was here that I realized that I did not take the laws of self preservation seriously enough--it was about zero, and my fingers had pretty much lost all sense of feeling by the time I got back to the car...the day they come up with gloves that allow your hands to actually function I will be happy! Got to Dixon that evening; stayed at a marvelous Comfort Inn just outside of town! For under $60 we got a suite with two TV's; since it was an icebox outside, Quinn and I kicked back, Natalie watched her TV, we all had pizza and went to bed with a smile! Saturday, we toured Dixon, which is a real pretty little river town with the coolest Arch north of the MO/Ark Border (and I include our Gateway Arch in that equation)! Behind the Arch is the Nachusa House, reputed to be the oldest Hotel in Illinois and across the street is the old Lee County CH--an awesome structure, as are most of the old Courthouses in Illinois! (across the street is the "new" Lee County Courthouse, which makes one wonder why the dumped the "old")...just down the street on the right hand side you will find a chunk of the Berlin Wall which is pretty cool...across the river is a statue of Abe Lincoln, reputed to be the only one with Lincoln in uniform... We headed East from Dixon back to Rochelle, where we saw the awesomely restored Standard Station and Rochelle's cool little downtown, complete with the "Hub" Theatre and its great marquee! Left Rochelle and headed east, stopping at Malta to honor the "seedling mile" (without the marker, you wouldn't know there was anything significant here), and cruising through DeKalb, where Quinn reminised about her college days visiting a friend she had there (Quinn was raised in nearby St. Charles, IL). We headed from there to Quinn's brother's house in Batavia; her brother took me on a tour of the Lincoln from Geneva to Aurora, the end result being the awesomely restored Lincoln Highway Shelter in Phillips Park in Aurora...it is a very good idea to have a good map of Aurora before trekking the Lincoln through Aurora; it winds all over the place there! All in all the three of us had a great time! I posted a slew of pictures (Lincoln Highway Trek and Lincoln Highway Trek II-V) in the Photos Section of the American Road Website in the "photos" section...enjoy!

Yeah, the station was in Del Rio - the transmitter was across the border in Mexico and I think they were shoving about 250,000 watts in the flower pots over there. They were called "Border Blasters!!" We could pick them up, clear as a bell, most nights clear up in New England!!!!!!!! Lots of good music of all types. Those were some wild times along the border back then.

I've also listened to the Navajo radio stations in Arizona. One of the big dogs out there is KTNN 660 AM, Voice of the Navajo Nation.

I've also taken a shine to American Indian music artist Bill Miller (his greatest-hits album is on iTunes). Miller isn't Navajo; he's from Wisconsin.

Guest Kevin Mattice Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 After reading many of the posts regarding this topic. I found a song that connects me with the road. If you get a chance listen to: George Straits - "Road Less Traveled" There's a road a winding road that never ends Full of curves lessons learned at every bend Goin's rough unlike the straight and narrow It's for those who go against the grain Have no fear dare to dream of a change live to march to the beat of a different drummer And it all might come together And it all might unraveled On the road less traveled For the road less traveled ain't for the faint of heart For those who choose to play it safe and never stray too far Me I want to live my life and one day leave my mark And it all might come together And it all come unraveled On the road less traveled I've chosen a pathway I may not endure One thing's for certain nothing for sure And it all might come together And it all might come unraveled On the road less traveled For the road less traveled ain't for the faint of heart For those who choose to play it safe and never stray too far Me I want to live my life and one day leave my mark And it all might come together And it all come unraveled On the road less traveled On Feb 18, 2006, at 8:42 AM, roaddog_rt66 wrote: > Here are some road-related songs I've been listening to these days: > > Long, Lonesome Highway- Michael Parks > Guitar Town- Steve Earle > Mercury Blues- Alan Jackson > The Road is My Middle Name- Bonnie Raitt > Going Up the Country- Canned Heat > Conchy Tonkin'- Jimmy Buffett > Mountain Pass- Dan Fogelberg > Nowhere Road- Willie and Waylon > Good Old Boys- Waylon > Two Lane Highway- Pure Prairie League > Outa Here- Kenny Chesney > > If you get a chance to listen to "Nowhere Road" by Willie Nelson and > Waylon Jennings, do it.

Guest xploreusa Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I bet there are some great stories on roads and radio that could be penned for the American Road Magazine, hint, hint. :-) Let's see some, please. The group Los Super 7 has a 2005 CD entitled "Heard It On the X": http://www.lossuperseven.com Great book about the X stations: Border Radio: Quacks, Yodelers, Pitchmen, Psychics, and Other Amazing Broadcasters of the American Airwaves Amazon link for synopsis: http://tinyurl.com/l7msz Nowadays, I love driving the Texas roads near the border and listening to conjunto music.

Guest Pat B. Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 does anyone have XM Satellite Radio? Since I'm growing weary of stations playing the same 30 songs and the new oldies station playing stuff from the 80's (no joking!), I thought I'd look at this as an alternative. I've been in the process this winter of restoring ole blue (http://circlecitycorvairs.tripod.com/id27.html) and decided to look at a new stereo system while the car's in pieces. At Mal-Wart, their stereos on display are hooked up to XM and that's what caused me to look into XM. I especially like the various "Decades" channels of music they have (40's, 50's, 60's, etc). Any of you had any experience with it & if so, is it worth the $12.95/month? Pat B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Guanella Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yes---I love it and definitely feel it is worth the $12.95 a month(maybe a little less on a yearly subscription.) I am a broadway showtune lover and that type of music is almost never available on conventional radio so when I could get an entire channel with nothing but broadway I went for it. The dj's are literate too and the chat is intelligent. XM is also available on the web and a car subscription gives you access to XM on the web at no additional charge.

Guest Les Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 One fun road in that area is FM 1314 between Cedar Park and Mineral Wells going past Key Largo. Fun, lots of curves but not as many since they straighten the road some. Channel 2 out of Houston had at one time printed a series of guides for all of Texas from their News Magazine "The Eyes of Texas" Maybe they are still in print.
