What piece of music reminds you of a journey?

It was around this time of year, 35 years ago, that Rod Stewart took "Sailing" to the top of the charts where it remained for what now seems like a remarkably long, four weeks. While I was once a fan, I never really got into that song as an anthem of any kind - possibly due to memories of too many Minch crossings on the Cal Mac ferries. But hearing it this week, got me thinking about the songs or indeed the pieces of music that remind us of journeys we've been on.

Sometimes it's easy listening music, perhaps a good classical burst to get you through the endless miles.of motorway, or something atmospheric to take you through the glorious scenery of the North West Coast. Trains, planes and automobiles - we all need some form of musical entertainment to distract us or to keep us company, regardless of the purpose of the journey. Going home for a special catch up is one example, leaving family and friends behind is another matter altogether, when even the slightest hint of melancholy music is a no-no. And of course Christmas is another, but it's far too early to start thinking about that - so all other journeys, and most especially if you're making that journey after a long absence...let me know what music "drives" you, as it were.....greetings@bbc.co.uk.
