More Summer Travels

Nostalgia, Songs, Summer

Flight is popular with Peter, Paul and Mary ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’, the 5th Dimension are ‘Up, Up and Away’ in their balloon and LGBTI singer Janis Ian is about to ‘Fly Too High’. The waterways are well represented with Tom Jones, Jo Stafford and The Tarriers singing about boats. Roads and driving are illustrated through Paul McCartney‘s ‘Long and Winding Road’, Dave Dudley‘s ‘6 Days on the Road’ and Australia’s Betty McQuade taking the ‘Midnight Bus’.
