Oh yeah. When I was too young to (legally)drive, QB used to drive her little sis and me around in her 73 Cutlass with that cassette blasting and the three of us singing at the top of our lungs. Good times. And I forgot A Case of You (shame on me!). I declare a Joni Mitchell substitution for Big Yellow Taxi,please!
