The French Family – Highway 40 Blues
An evening pause: To quote the YouTube website: “Stuie (Electric), Camille (Acoustic), Sonny (13) and Chet (16) from our living room in Nashville.”
Very nice, but I must admit the best part might be watching the expressions on the face of Mom in the background.

Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

This kid is growing up in Nashville? He should be recording in a few years, if not already.
Mom either isn’t getting enough sleep, or needs lighter eye shadow.
That is very good sound from a living room.
BTW, Wikipedia informs that US Hwy 40 ran from Atlantic City, NJ, to San Francisco, CA. except for a dip into Maryland, the road stays north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Blair-
Great factoids.
I’m only vaguely aware of this US highway route, but I’m going to change that!
“Abandoned US 40 in Frederick. MD.”

Totally tangential– anyone done the Route 66 trip?
Haven’t done US 66 (on the list); but maybe US 40 might be more exciting? You can gamble with your money in Atlantic City, and gamble with your life in San Francisco.
