because getting there is half the fun... (part one): the music

every good roadtrip requires a good soundtrack, i say. i put together this two cd mix before we left — and called it "to the woods and back" (because also every good mix needs a good name, i say) — some old, some new... a little collection of songs for singing along. thought i'd share the setlist:
