This is the PDF download for the sheet music for "Pan-American Highway" from the album Panama Piano.

The Pan-American Highway is a 19,000 mile highway that goes from the very southern tip of South America to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. For the most part, it runs north and south, but in Panama, it runs east and west. From Panama City, we headed west to begin our road trip. About a twenty minute drive from our hotel in the financial district of Panama City, we stopped at the Miraflores Visitor Center to see the locks at the Panama Canal. We were fortunate to get there just as an cruiseship was going through. From there we headed towards Santiago, a city right in the center of the country. There was construction on the hightway at the beginning, but things began to open up and the highway was a good ride. The further we got away from Panama City, the fewer cars and trucks there were on the highway. We saw beautiful countryside with not a whole lot going on in the way of towns along it. The song reflects movement. For me it captured the feeling of our crusing through the country. We had a number of three and four hour streches on the highway. We practiced Spanish a lot of the time we were driving. The drivers were better behaved on the highway than the ones in Panama City.

Panama Piano was released on July 10, 2020 and was recorded at the Peace Palace, Sedona, AZ on a Steinway B during the first two weeks of May, 2020.
