The Day the Music Died

Ok. I'm not referring the crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, or Don McLean's American Pie lyrics that memorialize the threesome. What I'm referring to is Pandora on my Iphone. When I'm cycling solo I like to listen to tunes. The music seems to relieve the cares of the day and helps to pass the time on rides that can otherwise be a little monotonous. I used to use an itty bitty Apple Ipod which was fine but I went thru two or more as they seemed to get wet with sweat or rain and would just stop working. When I got my Iphone, Brett turned me on to the Pandora app. It's pretty cool. Just pick the type of music you want to listen to and it's streamed continuously to your little ibuds through the Iphone. Well, today it stopped. I was going through Tarpon Springs on my Bag Balm ride when the music died. I tried to get it going again but was unsuccessful. I had to finish the 50 mile ride without music, just the sound of wind rushing through my helmut earholes. Oh well! The ride wasn't a total loss, however, as I was able to find a feed store in my area that carries Bag Balm, the ‎Circle G Ranch & Pet Supplies store in New Port Richey. I also saw some fly repellant that looked interesting but didn't buy any. The bum is still a little warm today. I'm waiting for the Australian Bum Cream to arrive.
