Subject: RE: Looking for Route 66 Songs From: GUEST,Question Mark Date: 02 Jan 10 - 12:17 AM The late singer-songwriter, John Stewart, had a modern day album that chronicalled Route 66 called "Rough Sketches". It had some really good Americana images of the Mother Road. An internet search should show where it can be purchased. Hope this helps. QM |
