Comfort Music

Many of us have our favorite bands - some have our "workout playlist" - and I think many have their "driving music" - which for me is almost like "comfort music".  For some reason, I can't really explain, these songs have made it to this list.  They are just songs I want to hear when out for a drive or relaxing in the backyard or basement

Now, during the summer, going to race tracks - I always listen to Mellencamp.  Usually in the pool, I listed to Beach Boys.  And of course, most of July, leading to The Fest For Beatles Fans, I listen to Beatles.

But this is an ipod playlist - that I just like to always have handy when relaxing or going on long drives.  It's like comfort music.
