With the cooperation of my son Al McDonnell, who has a complete sound
studio in Juneau, Alaska, I now have on a CD Michael Montalbano's
enchanting
"APL Blossom Time; dedicated to the pioneers of APL, with respect and
affection; by J. C. L. Guest" on a CD.
It has a wonderful caricature of Mike drawn by my son Pete McDonnell.
Pete shows Mike on a stage, dressed in Elizabethan garb, with ruffed
collar, holding a scroll reading "A Train in Spain Leaves Stains upon
the Plains" (shades of Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady")
Al is a licensed fisherman, with his own boat, and is also is a left-
handed string musician.
There are two versions on the CD.
The performers on the first are: vocal: J. Brown, M. Wheatley; guitar
J. Brown, J. Bunda; bass J. Brown, drum B. Duff.
The second was recorded at APL81. Those on this version are: L. Breed,
J. Brown, J. Bunda, D. Dloughy, A. O'Hara, R. Skinner.
The copyright to the caricature is given to Pete, by APL Press, 1987.

Don't get me started on my five grandchildren.
