What are your favorite tunes for the road?
Being a BIG guy, I love to blast Peter Gabriels "BIG time" while I'm on the road. The song is really what I'm all about, as mista Gabriel says "I'm on my way I'm makin' it - BIG time - so much larger than life".

Holiday Road from National Lampoon's Vacation of course! Plus last year we passed through Winslow Arizona and stood on the corner, so the kid's favorite is Take it Easy by the Eagles.

It depends. Sometimes Tom Petty...or maybe Pink Floyd...sometimes it's fun to just scan the radio stations as you travel and see what comes up!

Asleep at the Wheel's Rte 66, any hot smokin' jazz or blues during the day, some mellow, soulful Miles Davis or Billie Holliday for late night cruisin.
