Driving Game (Part 39)
6If you’re new to the Driving Game, you can just look back at the start of it all here in Part 1 for the full rules.
Please consider the kind folks who maintain our cheat sheet and add your post in the format of “Artist Name - Song Name” followed by a link to the song on the next line. That way they all look the same and it’s easier on the Cheat Sheet team when it’s time to update that list.
Speaking of the Cheat Sheet… The full history of our game, with links to each of the past threads, can be found on the Driving Game Cheat Sheet. Use that to avoid getting vetoed by a duplicate.
Have fun!

The first real day back in the office since my trip and I’d like to go ahead and thank everyone for keeping things together while I was out. I caught up on the shenanigans from the last part of the game and I’m glad we’re back to good here and we’re able to enjoy music again.

@llangley
I hadn’t thought of these guys in a LOOONG time.
Thanks for the memories.
@chienfou @llangley Name-dropping here, kinda - I worked briefly at a little printing company with Jock Bartley’s wife. She was beautiful but very friendly and unpretentious.
@chienfou My pleasure…that was a special time.
I’ve often been reminded of bands and songs I’d long forgotten on this Road Trip. Not to mention the diversity here…what a long strange trip it’s been. Loving it
@llangley @Kyeh
These guys were starting out when I lived in Boulder…

Oh, I forgot about that fire, and I’d never heard the Elmer version, which is really the wonderful Wobin Williams! Thanks, too funny!
