Tomorrow I take off for my annual road-trip. I've started taking a week out of the year to throw some stuff in the car and drive around the country. Last year was an epic drive out to South Dakota (with a lovely detour into Wyoming to visit the awesome Devil's Tower). This year, after the back to school/minor changes in my life thing, I've decided to take a drive closer to home and hopefully keep it a little less expensive. Wisconsin it is.
I've been to the notorious House on the Rock (twice) and really enjoyed the down-the-rabbit-hole experience of the Organ Room and the automated musical instruments that play themselves (one of my favourite things to watch, incidentally, and definitely something work buying tokens for, if you take a visit), but it isn't on the itinerary. Going to visit Milwaukee, spend some quality Lake Michigan time, and spend a day in Devil's Lake State Park. There are also several well-known musicians to come from the Badger State.
There is Les Paul, who I've written about in a previous post, Steve Miller (of the Steve Miller Band), my dear Woody Herman, and early jazz trumpeter Bunny Berigan.
