A Little Travelin' Music

I'll be on the road for a day or two ... time to get out a few custom CD's and crank up the car stereo with some driving tunes.

Hope for good weather.

thats the way its supposed to be.

Oh and as a total aside, to clear up any confusion and give a little h/t to the anti-war crowd while I'm at it: Eat A Peach

The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane Allman's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was actually a flatbed lumber truck. The name actually came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the anti-war effort, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace; the two-legged Georgia variety."

Shame I'm headin' North, I guess! Heh!

How far North?

And all this time I thought it was a reference to TS Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". Guess I shoulda known a good 'ole boy would be that literary.

Completely random... but this reminds me of of several decades gone by, when in our annual late summer trek from NYC to various points in the Deep South (to visit some of Dad's family friends/war buddies)... outside of Gaffney, S.C. was a peculiar landmark that always told us our trip thru the old Confederacy was nearly at an end:

The gigantic Gaffney Peach.

One of the last times we went through there, I was a middle school student, and had learned the word "annals" (as in the "annals of history"), and being the smart-alecky kid I was, I always tried to work new words into a sentence at the appropriate occassion:

"Hey Dad - I bet that peach will go into the annals of history as the largest peach ever!"

To which he replied:

"Son, that looks like the biggest butt with a giant hemorrhoid on it - and yup, it will go down as the anus of history".

(sorry if that grossed anyone out...)
