Many of you know that I am not on the air this week, as I travel to Ft. Benning, Georgia to watch my Soldier, Tyler Chouinard graduate from Basic Training/AIT. It's a long drive, over 15 hours in fact, but my road warriors and I came up with a great way to pass the time. We looked for songs for the towns that we passed through.
