In appreciation, I want to tell you an important secret about Washington. The official state song is not that soggy awful "Washington, my home" That is an even worse piece of music than Beethoven's "Wellington's Victory" The real state song (especially among musicians) is "Louie, Louie" This honor is not often conferred upon Californians. I don't know if you have tried my link "Beadlust" She is a neighbor of yours just outside of Friday Harbor. Lovely beadwork. Her husband is a photographer and has some truly beautiful work on his site. I have been meaning to tell you how much I enjoyed your piece for "tape" and Bassoon. i usually don't think much of that sort of thing, but your blend seems sublime. I am reminded of the sea. I will purchase your album. I enjoyed your article, but I'm afraid all I can say about it is "Ah, to be young again" Anyway, peace, love, harmony and good enharmonic spelling to you and yours. .................Uncle Doug I want to thank you for the chicken soup.
In appreciation, I want to tell you an important secret about Washington.
The official state song is not that soggy awful “Washington, my home”
That is an even worse piece of music than Beethoven’s “Wellington’s Victory”
The real state song (especially among musicians) is “Louie, Louie”
This honor is not often conferred upon Californians.
