Take It Easy

2016 Out West, Arizona, Road Trip


Back in 1973 as we were traveling through this part of the country we were listening to Glenn Frey as lead vocalist of the Eagles on the radio singing Take it Easy about standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, lyrics he co-authored with Jackson Browne. A few years later civic leaders in Winslow decided to capitalize on their fame by creating a Standin’ on the Corner Park with a bronze statue of a guitarist, presumably Browne, and a mural of a girl in a flat bed Ford. Just four days ago they celebrated the installation of another bronze statue, Glenn Frey (1948-2016). We enjoyed being among the folks that come to town specifically to stand on the corner, to find a geocache, and to patronize the local businesses. What fun!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
