"I never planned on being a road entertainer, but as I drove along the lonely stretch of road, I began to think about all the people who would be able to enjoy my music." - Greg Lake

In it, Lake presents his thoughts and reflections as he rides along the highway, which has become the path of many people in search of serenity, inspiration, and change. While some have succeeded on this road less traveled, many others have failed.

Even when we follow the right steps to achieve our goals, we still feel that the world is against us. As we travel the many roads that make up our journey through life, we realize that we're not alone. A part of the journey is finding the courage to see what others have yet to discover.
Lake crafts his story with wit, humor, and wisdom. Many of us have experienced being stuck in traffic, trapped in a long car, or having to make an impossible choice.
