Hey... you need to highlight Colorado!
I believe I've visited or at least driven through 18 of those places. Usually I like your music picks (at least those on your blog), but I have to agree with your wife and daughter about Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. I love your dd's top 3 picks, and although I am not a fan of Lady Gaga, it's hard for me not to sing "Poker Face".
About 40. But 45 years in the Army, we moved around a lot.
I said about, because I've sort of been through some of the towns but not entirely sure if I've actually been in them. Like, Waterloo. I've been by Waterloo Records in Austin, TX. Drove near Waterloo, IL when driving from St Louis to Cape Girardeau. And by Waterloo, WI when heading to Lacrosse, WI with the Illinois National Guard ... which, coincidentally, isn't far from Davenport, IA, but is no where near Davenport, FL or Davenport, CA.
And have been by Waterloo, NY enroute to Watertown, NY, home of the 10th Mountain Division, which was formed in Colorado, where you'll find the Waterloo Ice House, in Louisville (another town on the list), which, if you check out their website:

... brings us back to Johnny Cash all over again.
Looks like I come in at 25!! I may have been through Texarkana. On those two tours Mike and I went on, we travelled through many little towns from Kansas to Louisana and Kansas to California.
