This song was written in spring of 2000, life was simpler then and Winnebegin’ was used to describe all class ‘A” motorhomes. Kinda like “Zamboni or Jacuzzi”.
Now that’s outta the way………
This song started with the loop of a sweet bass line by Jeff Bennett. Ridley Bent and I riffed back and forth with some lyrics and “Bam” it was a song.
“We were dreaming about cruisin’ around in a vintage RV with a huge old steering wheel and the tunes cranked. “Joyridin’ in a Winnebago”
In 2010 I recorded this version with The Tractorgrease Folk and then fast forward to 2022, I now have a vintage RV!!!!!!
The star of the show is this 1976 FMC #994. Here’s some footage of my trip across British Columbia.
