"Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me." – Woody

Blues Mission Update:

"I woke up this morning....
I said, I woke up this morning,
And Elmore James was playing in the hotel lobby.
The Blues follow me everywhere I go."

Those little surprises make a road trip even more special. Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend folks! 🎉🎊🔥💥
