Probably not even a blip on the radar for most people these days, but I've been a huge America nerd since the 70s. America was Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek, and Dewey Bunnell. Impossible to quantify the number of times I've listened to their music, or how often I still do. It's in fairly regular rotation.

The greatest hits album (below) is my default motorcycle maintenance music. I keep a copy of it in my old CD player out in the garage for days when I'm out there doing oil changes and such.

Since it's the only album of theirs that I have on my work machine, I will loop it today. In fact, I'm listening to it now. RIP, Mr. Peek. You're part of the soundtrack of my life.
