A ukulele player has proved an unlikely online hit after penning a hilarious tongue-in-cheek ode to the A34 based on the American classic Route 66. Musician Peter Wood, 71, decided he wanted to pay tribute to the dual carriageways of the A34 after travelling the far-reaching road for decades for work and visiting friends. His comical lyrics based on Bobby Troupe's 1946 hit replaces the likes of Chicago, L.A and Oklahoma with less glamorous locations such as Walsall, Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent. Peter decided to record the song in homage to the busy 151 mile long route, which stretches from Hampshire to Manchester via the Midlands and Staffordshire, because he also lives near the road.
