(Almost) every song that flowed through the chambers in my mind during the last three weeks

(Okay, so a lot of these songs embody the adventurous spirit, and a lot of them don't, at least for me. You decide which fill your soul with the desire to roam. Oh, and they're alphabetized by artist name now!)

Bob Seger - Against The Wind, Old Time Rock and Roll

Church Hymns: Carry On, Our Savior's Love, True To The Faith, other sacrament hymns.

Doobie Brothers - Black Water

Earl Scruggs - 'Til The End of The World Rolls 'Round

Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck w/ Mike Marshall - Big Country

Gillian Welch - too many to mention all, but Wrecking Ball, Black Star, Acony Bell, Ballroom Girls, Everything is Free, Annabelle, One More Dollar (A long time ago, I left my home, just a boy passing [the age of] twenty), My Morphine, I'm Not Afraid to Die, Hickory Wind

Ralph Stanley II - L.A. County, Georgia (although I never got to go) Lord Help Me Find The Way, Carter, Loretta (the contra-dancing theme for me), They Say I'll Never Go Home (Will I ever see the old homeland, smell honeysuckle in bloom, and walk down by the river, and love me for I love the moon? How can they treat me so wrong, they say I'll never go home)
