Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man
Trying to make a living and doing the best I can — Allman Brothers Band — 1974
Roads and Rambles will be an account of things I find of interest in the world of words, events and locations. Part roadside photo journal, historical reminiscence, vintage curiosities, and neon documentary. Roads and Rambles invites you to come along on a ramble taken just off the beaten path. A trip taken entirely for the pleasure of the road and the journeys associated with it.
