...and plan on being stuck there as long as possible.
On road trips I enjoy tuning to local stations and listening to the DJs. A Bostonian DJ, New York DJ, a DJ from Philly and one from Tennessee (recent trip) sound nothing alike. I enjoy that. Local color can't be beat.
Its a big country. Streaming on the road is like being at home on the road. I like to be on the road when I'm on the road.

"The thought that life could be better is woven indelibly into our hearts and our brains" -Paul Simon
Since I retired I've driven about 25,000 miles in a few trips around America. I brought along a selection of CDs (no satellite connection) but also relied on local radio stations for companionship as I traveled.
As a young teenager in the '50s I listened to AM radio at night when I could find stations from Boston, Pittsburgh, Gallatin (TN), and New Orleans, all from my central MI home. At that time music was more localized and each area had their own Top Ten.
And so, even decades later I held out small hope for some local or regional programming for my travels. However I was disappointed to find now that meant the further east and south I drove the more that religious stations dominated the airwaves. Country preachers can be entertaining only so long. Even the low end of the FM dial (once the exclusive home to non-commercial broadcasting) offered little relief.
Had it not been for a good variety of CDs I would have longed for a Serious connection. ;^)
