Hi from Pearland, TX (not too far from sugarmooma). Let's see what do I know about Wichita Falls? I drove through once singing Wichita Lineman which apparently is about Wichita, Kansas, but it's the thought that counts right LOL.

I think one should take advantage of any excuse to sing Wichita Lineman! I love joining in on that song! :thumbsup:

Re: We're off at last
 

Ha. I did the same thing. I mean, who wouldn't as soon as you see the signs it just pops into your head:nod:

Everytime we go to Galveston I turn into Glenn Campbell and as for trips through Amarillo,it's one major song fest.

Of course M has no appreciation for my amazing talent . He prefers my singing when I'm behind him on the tryke. With helmets on and the wind blowing he is totally deaf to my musical renditions;):lol:

Whenever Sheila and I drove to visit my stepson in Lubbock, we'd start singing Gene Pitney songs when we entered Oklahoma!

I'm only 24 hours from Tulsa;)

We also enjoyed Prefab Sprout on our way through Albuquerque, glad we are not the only ones who set our road trips to music.

Re: We're off at last
 

A good excuse to go through California so you can sing "Do you know the way to San Jose":thumbup:

(and yes I did that one as well).

The best one was singing Let's go to San Francisco when we were on our way back from Alcatraz on the ferry.
Even my daughter joined in...and M ignored us!

At this time of year in this state The Proclaimers always come to mind when looking for anything resembling culture (not the yoghurt variety!).

If I were feeling malicious I could just console myself with the fact that many forum members will have Agadoo from Black Lace as their day's earworm. :rofl:
Did I just say that? :thumbdown:

Re: We're off at last
 

I've always wanted to drive across old Route 66, as I can reel off all the towns from the song!

Re: We're off at last
 

my accent is commented on most days if I am out of the house. The Australian question comes up AT LEAST weekly and always has done (wqe have been in ohio for 7 and not texas for 3 years)

Re: We're off at last
 

How is the move to Texas working out? Is the base housing going to be a good place to live?

Re: We're off at last
 

The move has gone okay had a few hiccoughs but have been here almost 3 weeks now, the house on the base is very nice all utilities included in the rent we just pay for cable, the base is safe and quiet so ideal as I'm going to be working nights.
