The Road Home: A Thanksgiving Journey

As the leaves turn their brilliant shades of gold and amber, there’s a certain magic in the air. It’s time for that special journey – the Thanksgiving road trip home. For many of us, this isn’t just any trip. It’s a journey back to where we come from, to the warmth of family gatherings, and to traditions that make this season so heartwarming. 🚗💨

Here at our home in Winona, Minnesota my hubby Jack and I have big plans for a Friendsgiving feast with folks that aren’t able to make it home for the holidays. It should be tons of fun… and Jack’s already busy prepping his legendary tater tot hotdish. Yummo!! Hehe. 🍁 🍂

A Vintage Soundtrack for Your Journey

To make this journey even more memorable, we’ve created the ultimate playlist: “Thanksgiving Road Trip Home.” 🎶 This isn’t just any playlist. It’s a carefully curated collection of tunes from some of the greatest artists of yesteryear. 🎵 Imagine cruising down those familiar roads with the soothing voice of Bing Crosby or the smooth melodies of Frank Sinatra filling your car. 🎷🎤

A Celebration of Musical Legends

Our playlist features legends like Bing Crosby, whose voice has become synonymous with the holiday season. Then there’s Perry Como and Frank Sinatra, whose timeless ballads have a way of touching the soul. Let’s not forget the rhythm and blues of Washboard Sam or the iconic Ella Fitzgerald, whose voice is as comforting as a warm embrace. 🎺🌟

Louis Jordan’s upbeat tunes will have you tapping your steering wheel, while Louis Armstrong’s gravelly voice brings a sense of nostalgia. Cab Calloway’s energetic rhythms are sure to keep you awake and lively on your drive.

The playlist wouldn’t be complete without the innovative guitar of Les Paul, the smooth crooning of Nat King Cole, and the soulful voice of Otis Redding. Rosemary Clooney’s classic songs bring a touch of elegance, and the Korn Kobblers add a playfully corny twist of Midwestern jazz from the 1930s.

Tampa Red’s bluesy melodies will resonate with the soulful part of the journey, while Bob Hope’s tunes add a sense of patriotism and gratitude, perfect for Thanksgiving.
