This week’s theme is Trains & Boats & Planes, the title lifted from a song written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, the best-known version being the 1965 hit by Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas (included in Monday’s show). Our premise this time out is songs with either one of those three words in the title, or some trains & boats & planes connection, like Ship of Fools by the Doors and Wooden Ships by the pre-Neil Young edition of Crosby Stills & Nash. As usual, our song selection covers many different genres & eras. Who’s Driving Your Plane?
