I listened to XM Satellite radio driving north from Santa Barbara

Because it was President's Day yesterday and the end of a 3 day holiday we hit some traffic various places like near San Luis Obispo and near Atascadero and Paso Robles heading north. My wife and I decided to listen for awhile to old 50s and old 60s music on XM Satellite which we have in both our cars which allows you to have radio stations you want anywhere (unless under a bridge or too near a mountain or building that blocks the satellite signal. But, 95% of the time anywhere in the U.S. you can get everything from 50s to present day music or CNN or MSNBC or anything else you want to listen to including comedy channels and stuff like that. I think there are now at least 200 channels or more you can get with XM satellite. So, it is a radio version of Cable TV that you can receive almost anywhere you are in the U.S.

Here are some of the songs I wrote down in my notes on my Iphone:

The Happy Organ 50s
Dedicated to the one I love-Mammas and Papas
Last Kiss- J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers
Surf City- Jan and Dean 63
Bernadette 67
Cherry Cherry- Neil Diamond
Turn Turn Turn
A Natural Woman
A World without love
Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'
The Letter 67
Here comes my baby
He's a rebel 62

They took me back to much different times than these when I was a child or young adult then. I was 2 in 1950 and 21 in 1969.
