Last week I packed my car to move to North Carolina and start my internship with Music Maker. The drive from New Jersey is about seven and a half hours long. I filled up the glove compartment with enough Music Maker CDs to last the ride and I hit the road. Around hour six of driving, I hit a slump – there was traffic up ahead and I was starting to get sleepy. I knew I needed a pick me up to get me through the final hour and a half, so I popped Georgia Drumbeat by James Davis into my stereo. Nothing feels quite as much like forward motion as drumbeat. His song “Go On Ahead” was the perfect motivator with it’s pumping rhythm and cruising guitar. It’s the kind of beat that sticks to you for a while. It works even better than large roadside coffee. I could have danced my way down I-85!
