"We're on our way, packed up our pack . . ."

Final packing to drive up to Michigan solo for the House Sing in Ann Arbor, MI.

Going up early to have enough rest to get /g/o/o/d/ better-than-otherwise versions on tape of the songs I wrote for & with Dave Alway.

As Mom used to sing before long trips:

"We're on our way, (we're on our way),
"Packed up our packs, (packed up our packs),
"And if we stay (and if we stay)
"We won't come back. (we won't come back).

"How can we go?
"We haven't got a dime,
"but we're goin',
"And we're gonna hava happy time!"
