Transport

Music, Nostalgia, Songs

This week’s theme presents songs relating to the way we get around via different modes of TRANSPORT. Jimmy Rodgers, LRB and Jo Stafford  take to boating the waterways while the Shadows opt for rafting. Queen is loving the car and Jo Jo Zepp with Jane Clifton and Grammy winner Rick Springfield and Grammy nominee Randy Crawford are enjoying the use of taxis. ELO and Sheena Easton prefer journeying by rail, while Robert Plant is trucking along in ‘Big Log’. The Steve Miller Band takes to the skies in ‘Jet Airliner’ and Henry Mancini’s travels along with his Grammy winning ‘Baby Elephant Walk’.
