Great Story. Just for that, you get rewarded with another great fast rollin road trip song:Played this song, and other hot rod songs, through my PA system while driving my ambulance, instead of the siren like I was supposed too....
When the traffic wasn't too bad, I would have my attendant pop in the 8 track I had connected to our PA system and let her rip...This song had the sirens in it, so it went extra fine coming through the PA system.....
Of course, I got reported by the public for whatever, but I didn't care, the song sounded so great blasting away down the streets, it was a must for this EMT...
Another goody was Thunder Road (listed earlier) played through my PA system too....It was a hoot...I really enjoyed driving my ambulance with hot rod car music blasting away.......
Several times at the scene a cop would tell me they love my music.....I'd tell them I do requests...

Al, when my bride and I drove from San Diego to Knoxville, I found several route 66 signs along the way...Of course, I took several detours to make sure she got her kicks on route 66....
I have some great pictures of her standing by several route 66 signs...She was just smiling away...So damn happy to find a 66 sign....To her they were lost treasures...I'd call her Buzz, and she would call me Tod to make the fantasy complete....
We stopped at an old restaurant on 66 and my bride wore out the old couples ears that ran the place with so many questions about what it once was like to live and work on 66......They didn't even charge us for the meal, but I left them a 50 dollar tip just the same...They were great people, so anxious to share!
NIce story, GT. Good times.
In 59, I was a 10 year old, and my family drove cross country from Tennessee to CA. We caught Rt 66 in Oklahoma City and rode it all the way to LA. There were no interstates then. We went to the Grand Canyon, Petrified forest, etc. along the way. Great memories. Much later in life, I dated a woman from Flagstaff. Even more great memories of Rt 66. Go my way, take the highway that's the best.
