Vor einiger Zeit schrieb ich hier einen Artikel, in dem ich eine ganz besondere CD-Geburtstags-Geschenk-Sammlung vorstellte.

Eine CD war gerade neu zu der Sammlung hinzugekommen ‚USA by Songs‚ und am Ende habe ich den Mund wässrig gemacht, dass ich eventuell mal eine Playlist der 77 Titel zusammenstelle.

Nun, für eine echte Playlist fehlen mir Zeit und – ehrlich gesagt – Nerven. Da ich nun aber dabei bin meinen nächsten USA-Urlaub zu planen, in dem ich ein klitzekleines Teilstück der ‚Song-Route‘ schon mal abfahren möchte  (Chicago – Wisconsin – Milwaukee) – nee, auf die Rente warten scheint mir dann doch zu lange zu dauern 😉 – habe ich wenigstens eine Liste der 77 Roadtrip-Songs erstellt.

Natürlich ist da auch ein wenig, hmmm, nicht so gefälliges Liedgut dabei, vieles ist bekannt, aber bei einigen Songs dachte ich nur ‚wie  findet man die bloß?‘

Viel Spaß beim Durchstöbern!
