More Big Drive Backfill & Fun with Garageband

Texas comprises the midpoint of Route 66, as well as one of the longest stretches of uninterrupted original 66, where one doesn't need to tarnish one's tyres (I have no idea whether they were Michelin, Goodyear or Kumho) on the Interstate. However, perhaps it was the fact that it was a Sunday, or perhaps it was W Bush's spectre, or perhaps even it was memories of Thelma & Louise...in any case, we drove through Texas in a day, with just a few brief stops to admire Cadillac Ranch or the Gator biker bar in Amarillo.  All along the road,  a 12-string lick was reverberating in my head, but the Rickenbacker 360 12-string (I've noticed that guitar or tyre model names make for big Google hits) only found me in San Francisco. However, my use of the freshly acquired Gibson ES-339 (Google redux) is embarrassing...I plead the beginning of the learning curve.
