Here are still more favorite museums, this time sent in by our readers.
Welcome to the T-Boy Society of Film and Music’s latest installment. It’s hard to believe that in the past four-months we’ve addressed six subjects. The current T-Boy Society of Film and Music poll is devoted to our favorite museums. It was a tough category to nail down to just five, but the results were both educational and a lot of fun.
There were a number of important museums on members’ lists – the MET, the Hermitage, Smithsonian Museums in DC – which demanded to be represented. But also a sprinkling of little gems, which many of us knew nothing about, e.g. the small Museu do Fado in Lisbon, Seattle’s Museum of Flight and the Skansen Open Air Museum in Stockholm.
Welcome to the T-Boy Society of Film and Music’s latest poll, devoted to members’ top Bucket List destinations. To be honest, I thought our well-traveled group had been everywhere, and was delighted to read their informative selections, many of which I will add to my own Bucket List.
With human activity on hold, Mother Earth has been allowed to heal and we are reaping the rewards. For the first time, many of us are basking in pristine, crystal clear images of Natural Wonders as if we’ve never seen them before. Profound, majestic, ethereal; no words can describe their unmatched magnificence.
On May 15, 2020, the T-Boy Society of Film & Music met via Zoom for the final vote in members' favorite Architectural Wonders. This easily turned out to be our most popular poll. There were virtually no repeats in members’ top selections, with no clear winners.
On the morning of April 22, 2020, the T-Boy Society of Film & Music met via Zoom for the final vote in the Top Five North-American-English language novels where there is a focus or side focus on travel. Could we have been more specific?
On the morning of April 3, 2020, the T-Boy Society of Film & Music met for the final vote in the top 20 Songs of the Road of all-time. Due to the coronavirus mandated quarantine, the 15-member group transmitted their lists via zoom. The theme of Songs of the Road turned out to be both popular and all-inclusive for members. For some it meant fantasizing about taking the same Road Trip in the song or a remembrance of one of their own.
The countdown to the T-Boy Society of film and Music's Top Twenty Songs of the Road continues with nos. 11-20.
Any list of Songs of the Road would be amidst by not having legendary Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson represented in the list. Johnson plied his craft on street corners and in juke joints, ever rambling and ever lonely – and writing songs that romanticized his plight on the road.
