Company: Nefarious

Bio: I'm an expatriot native Californian who loves the state but will never live there again because the government is nuts and the cost of living outrageuous. Semi-retired now, I worked as a welder most of my life at various places around the country, beginning in 1973 in Orem, Utah. I've also lived and worked in Ohio, where my ex-wife was from and where we were married when I followed her there from Utah in 1976. I should have stayed in Utah. But at least I had the biggest winning lottery ticket I've ever had in my life while there, ten dollars. I've also lived and welded in Boise, ID; Long Beach, CA; Nashville, TN; Mobile AL, Port Arthur, TX ; as well as Indiana, where I also spent five years as an independent contracting driver delivering motor homes to dealers around the country and into Canada, by means of which I've visited every state in the lower 48 plus several Provinces of Canada. A great job, if you like to travel. Especially if you are a history buff as I am.

Thank you, Henry. I listened and shared it with you. I find organ music impressive and the cathedral windows were beautiful. But the words were most effective part of it ~R

You are welcome, Fusun, but the real thanks goes to Celestial Navigations, the partnership of Geoffrey Lewis, the actor, and Geoff Levin, the composer. But I'm glad to share it with you. Simply amazing, isn't it? I think I first heard and saw this performed by them on the second run of The Smothers Brother's Show. I'm almost certain of that. The 2008 copyright must be for this video performance because they've been performing it for far longer than that. I either have or had a tape with that on it from the early 90's. Geoffrey Lewis simply does an amazing performance with it.
