Cars and Music

Do you know people who don't care much for music?  I have been around a few, but that is sure not me. I have been a music lover from even before I became a car lover, and that started in my early teens. As soon as I started driving, music was always part of the experience. You will almost never find me in the car without some of my favorite music playing.
It may have been some of the early 1960's music that sparked my interest in cars, and girls for that matter. The early Beach Boys cars, beach girls, and cruising songs come to mind. My all-time favorite group is still the Four Seasons , especially their hits from the early 1960's. But, my love of music is not limited to the oldies of my youth. I love a lot of different music, and have many favorites, old and new.
We have many ways to listen to music in our cars these days. I enjoy several channels on Sirius satellite radio, and I also have CD's, USB drives, and Bluetooth play lists on my phone to choose from. I'm always discovering forgotten favorites that I download and add to my playlists. A recent PBS special on TV re-introduced me to a forgotten favorite Bee Gees song "Alone" , that I downloaded and added to my play list, right between the Echosmith song "Cool Kids", and "Hello" by Adele.
For me, cars, driving, and good music just go together. Even if I'm in my garage, cleaning, pampering, or working on my cars, I like to have my favorite music playing. To me, it doesn't get any better than that.
