Stevie Wonder released unheard music from the Songs in the Key of Life sessions, so naturally I had to play it for my daughter. That turned into Village Ghetto Land on Warren Avenue, Beyoncé in Chicago, and a conversation about our earliest memories of music.

I was headed to New York for Podcast Movement. Then my daughter decided to come. Then my ex-wife. Suddenly, my quick business trip became a college tour, a family getaway, and a ten-hour drive in our Prius.
