When on Route 66, a stop in Winslow, AZ is a "must-do" and our group made sure to spend a few minutes here soaking up the vibes.

For those not familiar..."Take It Easy" is the title of a song written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey, and most famously recorded by the Eagles (with Frey singing lead vocals). It was the band's first single, released on May 1, 1972. It also was the opening track on the band's debut album Eagles and it has become one of their signature songs, included on all of their live and compilation albums. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll...

"The second verse of "Take It Easy" is set in the city of Winslow, Arizona, which responded by erecting a life-size bronze statue and mural commemorating the song, at the Standin' on the Corner Park. The statue stands near a lamp post, securing an acoustic guitar between his right hand and the shoe of his right foot. Above his head, a metal sign, crafted in the style of U.S. Route shields, displays the words "Standin' on the corner". The trompe-l'œil mural on the wall behind the statue is that of a storefront, and includes what would appear to be the reflection of a red Ford pickup truck driven by a blonde-haired woman. The second floor of the mural features an eagle perched in one of the windows." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_It_Easy)

Between Kingman and Oatman, AZ, just off Route 66.

I've been on a photo junket with friends since last Thurs. This shot was taken on February 20 during a stop on our drive from Kingman to Oatman. There is SO much beautiful scenery in AZ and especially along The Mother Road, Route 66.
