Mixing Weather & Music

So it's blog time again. Every once in a while you can mix weather with music. Like today for instance. I was watching the interview we posted on our Scene 13 page with Drivin' N Cryin' a few weeks ago. Got nostalgic. Threw on Mystery Road, my favorite DNC album. Brought back tons of great memories of riding in the car with the windows rolled down, jammin' to Honeysuckle Blue. I called it my 280 air conditioner. Roll both windows down and go 80!



It's funny how a certain song can remind you of a season, especially summers full of great memories.
