SA: Music has taken me many places, yes. At this
moment, the white snow on the earth as the top of the
upside-down canoe is covered as well, gray clouds, dim
light, son playing with his animal toys, wife looking
through the book shelf, and Andy Williams on the
radio. The music is definitely influencing what I
mentioned, without it playing it can't be appropiately
surmised.
Other than passing through Amerindian
reservations, and walking and sleeping in Canada in
the Niagra Falls region, nop. I have been to the U.S.
Virgin Islands, which, even though it has the U.S.
name in it, it is more Caribean than U.S.... say...
South Carolina, which I lived there for six years. I
don't have much experienced outside this culture
though. I've been to different regions in the U.S.,
and the U.S. itself is very diverse in attitude and
such. I thought a funny analogy that people in
Michigan give to each other. There is an upper
pennisula and a lower pennisula. They are very
differently culturally. A bridge between the two
pennisula's was only built in the late 1970's or early
1980's to connect the two pennisula's over where Lake
Michigan, Superior, and Huron meet. Well, the analogy
given is the upper pennisula people call the lower
pennisula people the "Trolls under the bridge" (they
are south of the bridge) and the lower pennisula
people call the upper pennisual people "U-uppers" or
"You-uppers".

SA: This might be in the other thread called 'Dead
Person' or something. I haven't been able to get to
that thread yet. I read all the posts, but it takes
some time to catch-up when the MD is very active.

SA: I remember you saying this in some of your posts,
yes, about a few weeks ago.

SA: From where it comes...
