Takes a ridiculous amount of time to get on the open road, finishing up the reconstructed December 2005 21st-Century Music, mailing packages to Harriet,
stopping
to
pick
up
and
deposit
financial items, then down to
Berkeley's Copyworld to drop off the old Journal.
At last heading out of the local sphere via
580
and
80 to where the
Central Valley
rounds itself out
south,
then up and over
the
Grapevine
and
Tejon
Pass,
rollercoastering
down
the
Ridge Route
to
Paradise,
Violin
Canyon, and
Santa Clarita Valleys, then
up and
down Gavin,
to
San
Fernando,
and once more
via the
Verdugos
to
La Canada / Flintridge,
San
Gabriel,
and
beyond, towards the welcoming retreat of
John Browning's and family. Across the L.A. basin, tune into to Jim Svejda's Record Shelf on KUSC -- his memorial program to the late Mitch Miller, which includes
