    Colin,
    I think we are too old, or too young, or something.

    J.H.C. and teddy! I'm sorry if I offended your sophisticated sensibilities.
    I must have been fresh from an American guitar forum when I typed this.
    There are many different ways to enjoy driving down the road,
    and I'm glad it looks like you enjoy travelling the straight and narrow.

    Not offended just completely dumbfounded, have not a clue as to what you are on about

    Driving songs

    Long instrumental jazz pieces like "Search for the New Land" by Lee Morgan; "The Chess Players" and " Pingpong" by Wayne Shorter, and of course " Traveling Man" by the Allmans for those somewhat longer trips, with some " Mountain Jam" thrown in for good measure.

    Talking Music to relax in traffic

    How about "Dreams" and "Pegasus" by the Allmans and "Aja" by Steely Dan?

    For repetition, how about Ravel's Bolero?

    Hi Colin; when I use the term repetition in the context of Bolero it is in no way meant in a disparaging manner. Rather, it is a fruitful and productive--as opposed to boring--motif which builds to one of the greatest cresondoes and climaxes in musical history, at least in my humble opinion.
    Whatever floats your boat May your reach always exceed your grasp Anyway, Ciao for now, Steve
