DJ JD'S TRAVEL MIX

People who know my musical tastes will find this a typical playlist. Those who don't, let me explain that we are an eclectic family when it comes to music. My kids have been trading music with us since they were teenagers. While most people our age listen to nostalgia, we have been listening to groups with names like Weezer and Beirut. They send us the latest from Modest Mouse, and we send them the soundtrack from La Vie en Rose or an album of Native American music. Everyone agrees it's all good.

So when my daughter said she was making us a CD of tracks she thought were appropriate to a road trip, we knew it would be fun, and it was.

I'm working on finding a widget that will allow me to add these songs. In the meantime, here's the list of songs on the Travel CD my daughter prepared for us (I've added links for the people some of you in my age group may not know):
