Ami and Ruby’s Infinite Playlist
I’m working on our playlist tonight.
There’s nothing like a good sing inthe car.
I’m stocking up heavily on Led Zeppelin, White Stripes, and Faith No More.

Then, for some mellow mountain stretches, maybe some Crosby Stills and Nash, a dash of Sergio Mendes and Brasil ‘66, maybe a spattering of Steely Dan. Bringing it off the highway and back into town will be some old Madonna, definitely Prince, and a thick layer of Eurythmics.
