MUSIC TO TRAVEL BY

[Moonshot]

If you were to be making a car trip, just you and your dog, for..oh..let's say 9 hours...and you wanted to make a CD (or two)  of "Music to Travel By"...what would be your must have songs? The songs don't necessarily have to be sung by Clay...though those are always nice aren't they?  

[wil555]

Ooooooo....
Well, CDs can be big, let's see here...I'd better stick to one. I want jamming tunes, just bopping along...yesss...funkish jazz stuff.

1. "Take Five," Grover Washington, Jr.
2. "Down Low," Jeff Lorber
3. "Stranded on the Bridge," Bernie Williams
4. "Nightingale," Avenue Blue
5. "Miles Away," Wayman Tisdale
6. "Mister Magic," Grover Washington, Jr.
7. "Chameleon," Herbie Hancock
8. "Fusion Juice," Jeff Lorber
9. "Mystica," Gato Barbieri
10. "Ain't Nobody," Jeff Lorber
11. "Boat Parade," Five for Fighting
12. "Hole In My Soul," Aerosmith
13. "Give Me The Night," Randy Crawford
14. "Here Comes The Sun," Rachel Z
15. "The Way You Look Tonight," Dave Brubeck

I'd probably toss in a Clay mix, too, along with some other stuff. 9 hours is a LONG time.
