Comment:

Been an avid fan of this website and its members for some time now. Wanted to submit my First Mix as a way of saying, "Thanks".

So, I wanted to compile a mix of songs, of which, I do not give enough playtime. And, since the "dog days of summer" approach, and, I go on more day trips to the country, I thought this theme would be appropriate.

Additionally, I wanted to focus on songs involving, or noting: traveling, roads, highways and cities.

Lastly, I wanted there's to be general geographical progression at play: NJ Turnpike, New York, Boston ("...Big Dig"), Pittsburgh (referenced in "Six Days on the Road", Chicago, Portland, Albuquerque and Texas.

I hope you enjoy!
