Hi Billy: Welcome to the forum. Let try to keep the threads on topic. The Blog Announcement is on the most recent SOV BLOG post. I highly commend its reading, but lets keep that thread on the topic of the Blog, please.
OTOH, this is a REALLY GOOD new topic, and I moved it and renamed it (its easy to start your own topic here -- and then YOU get to name it )
While I do like classical music, I guess I would probably listen to classic rock and roll while riding up and down Vermont's Scenic Country Roads.

Watch out! Carol is full speed ahead with foliage fever!
Andy, oh what you are missing!

Ahh The Music
I literally listen to just about anything.
Mainly while viewing foliage driving or on my PC I listen to New Age or Soundscapes.
Just to name some.
Deuter
Yanni
Nirvana
Gandolf
Narai
Michael Hedges
Eric Tingstad
Llewellen
Ryan Farish
To get the blood pumping Good Old Classic Rock n Roll 60's and 70's
I'll have my MP3's and CD's fired up and ready!
BTW I heard Carol is giving out free IPODS !

Nah......no Kanye for us, that's for sure!!!!!! I have something waaaay better in mind!!!! I wish you were going to be there!!! You are going to miss out on all the fun!

Mary Chapin Carpenter is good, too (maybe my one concession to "country" ). But the name, Chapin brings up another:
Wasn't Harry Chapin from Rutland? If so, seems like you would have add some of his stuff (maybe Taxi, as in the PWT Express?)

My brother (18 year my junior) went to the Phish Concert (I think it was in or around St. Johnsbury) some years back that turned the Interstate into a parking lot, and the fields into mudbaths. Sounds like is was a memory (perhaps from hell?).
I would have thought that since my daughter and he both are a-Phish-ianados, that I wouldn't care for it. But I do like them -- eerily reminiscent of The Grateful Dead, which makes it easy for me to loop back to Vermont and its famous Ice Cream makers' "Cherry Garcia" ice cream. (sorry -- its just this Vermontabee brain of mine)

I was at that same show-- it was held in Coventry. It was a disaster logistically but sometimes those create the best memories. Some people waited over 24 hours on the highway, and finally abandoned their cars on the highway and hiked several miles in carrying their camping equipment, only to have camp in a mud field.
I made the best routing decision of my life by disobeying the official entrances and taking a western route with Rt 100. Only had to wait a couple hours. I remind my friends of that to this day.

I will be bringing no Kanye, nor will I be swigging Hennessy cognac as I cruise the hills. The pastoral environment is more conducive to Baileys Irish Cream, anyway.
I'm good with 60's and 70's classic rock. What station do I need to tune to, since I'll have rental vehicle?
I'm thinking Traffic, Gillian Welch (absolutely), Alison Krausse, DeBussy, Aretha, Emmy Lou Harris, Norah Jones, Kate Bush and John Lee Hooker might make the cut too, just for diversity's sake.

So..PWT will be cruising along to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game!" and if his team is at ..." One, two, three strikes you're out", he may be rolling along to John Denver's, "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
Actually, Vermont is so inspiring, let loose to your very own music singing, "America the Beautiful"

I just got finished listening to "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. (I know, it's not music) Librivox.org has free downloads for many classics that you can burn or mp3 and listen. I live near a little pond myself and I'm thinking that I should squat on the land for a couple of years as he did.
There is a lot of music there too though, available for free download. Concerts and live shows and it's all legitimate too.
I'll post some pics of Grout Pond hopefully this weekend so you can see where I will be for the next two years or so.
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation"
How true Henry.
How true.
