hello friends! this is my idea of a wild and memorable train ride. along the way everyone is laughing, telling stories and jokes, wandering to the dining car, cat-napping, day-dreaming, chatting with neighbors, and looking out of the windows at the passing world. in every car of the train there's music being made, sometimes quiet, sometimes rowdy, familiar, funny, or groovy. it all depends on the car, who's in it, and the time of day. there might be dancing in the aisles or a group of sleepy friends quietly singing along. the train is going somewhere, there's no doubt about that, but no one's in a rush to get there. i hope these songs take you somewhere you haven't been before or someplace you've wanted to revisit.
