Best o’ the West
Took a week-long, 2,400-mile road trip to the mountains of Wyoming with my 16-year-old son last week. That’s a lot of time to be sharing cabin space in a van and listening to high-volume music. Our ground rules: 1 CD we both liked, followed by one I like followed by one Ian likes. Ian, who’s the lead guitarist for Wausau band Freedown shares much of my own likes in music, but, naturally, he has his own set of faves and I was exposed to things unknown, with more than a few pleasant surprises.
On tonight’s Roundtrip, my radio show on WNRB-LP (93.3 FM, 7-9), I will feature the hits of the trip … ranging from the Animals to Audioslave, Moby Grape to Muse, The Who to Weezer. I hope you’ll join me tonight and put your mind in the mountains and foothils and plains of the west … and most of all: the road.

I heard Freedown is playing at the Fillmor. With Scott Holt.

Yes, that’s the big rumor going around. Makes for a power-packed line-up, eh? So, I hope their many fans of their own age will be able to get in to see them. Hopefully, the Fillmor can arrange a kids corral or some sort of accommodation for kids accompanied by parents / guardians. Lots of other places do that sort of thing.

That is sounding like a pretty awesome set of music. At least Ian’s choices
