Despite the cold weather, there's the chance of a few days off for Easter and the sun is shining here and there, and I feel the oncoming rush of spring. I want some stimulating, uplifting tunes.

Here's my suggestion of ten tracks to put in the car and hit the road for the day, with a picnic, a pair of shades and a blanket.

Hey! Make some extra suggestions and drop me a line...
