As I switch back and forth,

on TV tonight, and see parts of the 'Country Music Awards', I really miss a part of my life I haven't had for a while. For many years, I would drive across the country, for days at a time, going to, or coming from places like Seattle, Miami, San Diego or upstate New York, and all places in between, listening to the radio. It was exciting, in a different way, each time, and I loved the days behind the wheel, as I listened to the different type of radio available to the road warriors that spend their days on the highways.  That was the only time I listen to NPR or country music stations. Nothing comes from the heart, like country music, and you can only appreciate it, I think, when you're 'on the road'. Kinda miss it...
