Default A Sad Day for those of us who grew up watching Route 66

For those of you who never watched "Route 66, Milner was the guy who stayed out of trouble. And usually drove the Corvette. His co-star, George "Buzz" Maharis always managed to get into a fight in every episode I ever watched.

We drove a portion of Route 66 this summer going to the Grand Canyon and the lyrics to the song of the same name kept going through my head...

It goes through St. Louie, Joplin, Missouri
Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty....
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico...
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona...
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino....

My brother recorded an endless CD of the theme music for Route 66 by Nelson Riddle for me long ago. I used to play it on my cross country trips.
The difference was that they often drove on gravel roads and I always steered clear of them. Sad day for Corvette nostalgia.

All good episodes -- remember the one with the experimental Corvette - glass bubble top and many other unique features.
