Like I said, after Sullivan, Missouri, the trip turned into a bit of an oldies review. But, hey, driving Route 66 and listening to oldies just somehow go hand-in-hand.
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER-- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL
Released in 1970 and was the duo's fifth and final album, shot to #1 and remained there for ten weeks. Won a Grammy for album of the year.
This album could just as easily been a greatest hits package as it is loaded with great stuff. It had four songs crack the Top Twenty: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" #1, "Cecilia," #4, "The Boxer" #7 with flipside "Baby Driver" hitting the Bubbling Under Top 100 and "El Condor Pasa" at #18.
Could anyone soar more than Art Garfunkel on "BOTW?"
I listened to the album back then so much that I considered most every cut as a Top 40 song. Other great ones"

The old Everly Brothers "Bye Bye Love" done live, was fun but essentially filler.
The CD also had two bonus tracks including a previously unreleased version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
A good drive CD. It will now always remind me of crossing over I-44 by Witnor Farms.

The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
