A few days before Dave Burke (<- Link to check him out) started on his meandering year long trip around the perimeter of the United States, he came to my room to see if we could invent a theme song for his use on his Pod-casts.
We noodled around for a while but came up with nothing definitive. I am not sure he ever found one, nor whether he is keeping up the pod casts at all. I believe he said he had abandoned them.
Yesterday I was idling some time at the keyboard and punched in a catchy bouncy hillbilly rhythm and seemed to go just fine for a home spun travelogue. Then I assumed the role of Dave in a voice-over introduction: "Hi, I'm Dave Burke, and I'm traveling around the United States meeting lots of friendly folks. Here's what I did yesterday..." And the music continues in the background and imaginary Dave tells what he observed.
"Hey, Dave," I thought, "I've got it...just the very thing for your podcast."
But then I remembered, Dave's already on his way home.

But that job proved to be daunting -- and the audience wasn't forthcoming (with the exception of a small cadre of web-savvy folks like Chuck -- who seem to get something out of watching my portable train wreck...
I'm in the home stretch, more or less -- less than 60 days remaining on the road (of 360 total). I won't be needing any traveling music, Chuck, but a "catchy, bouncy hillbilly rhythm" sounds just about perfect.
The last I heard he was in Houston but he's probably halfway across Texas by now.
