Nat King Cole Trio - Route 66
Friday, June 9th, 2006I thought this song was perfect to help kick off the weekend for several reasons (FYI, my weekends start Friday morning). The first reason is since it is the start of the weekend, it’s the perfect opportunity to be spontaneous and take a road trip. If you’re lucky, maybe you can even take a trip down historic Route 66. Living in Arizona affords locals the luxury of being able to actually take a trip across northern Arizona from Oatman to Gallup. Along the way, you can stop by the Meteor Crater, Canyon Diablo, the Petrified Forest, Winslow’s historic railroad hotel - La Posada, and many other sites of historic interest. For the adventurous, you can head up to Havasupai Falls just north of Seligman. The second reason I picked this song is because today is the premier of Pixar’s Cars. What fun would having a car be if you didn’t have historic routes like Route 66 to create new memories with? And finally, the song is soothing yet rich - like a nice cup of coffee.
