Sometimes it is good to have a guide as one stumbles around on California beaches! I can't think of a better guide than 'The Coasts of California'  by Obi Kaufmann. 

Listen to our conversation, and by all means try to make it to our book launch party at the Library on May 14 at 3 PM, and you'll understand why.

Heyday Books is launching this lavish opus from their #1 bestselling SF  author.

Sitting by the side of the highway, it is a nicely hidden place with some good shade. We have a 160 degree view of the Pacific Ocean. Mole and I have a good conversation about life on the coast, travel, surfing, odd jobs, growing up on the Monterey Peninsula. Please join us.

Mole mentions his abiding friendship with Terry Hide Prince. This is several years prior to us having lost Terry. Terry is, and will be, missed for a very long time...

Henry Miller on Music!

My whole aim in life is to get near to God, that is, to get nearer to myself. That's why it doesn't matter to me what road I take. But music is very important. Music is a tonic for the pineal gland. Music isn't Bach or Beethoven; music is the can-opener of the soul. It makes you terribly quiet inside, makes you aware that there's a roof to your being.

To be is music, which is a profanation of silence in the interests of silence, and therefore beyond good and evil. Music is the manifestation of action without activity. It is the pure act of creation swimming on its own bosom. Music neither goads nor defends, neither seeks nor explains. Music is the noiseless sound made by the swimmer in the ocean of consciousness. It is a reward which can only be given by oneself. It is the gift of the god which one is because he has ceased thinking about god. It is an augur of the God which every one will become in due time, when all that is will be beyond imagination.

All music is still governed by the old astronomy, is the product of the hothouse, a panacea for Weltschmerz. Music is still the antidote for the nameless, but this is not yet music. Music is planetary fire, an irreducible which is all-sufficient; it is the slate-writing of the gods, the abracadabra which the learned and the ignorant alike muff because the axle has been unhooked.

Henry Miller

I believe in whatever I’m working on…it’s a love affair. The idea consumes me. Once the piece is finished, it no longer possesses me nor does it satisfy me. I have to go ahead to the next inspiration. What I have learned from the last piece I have completed, I apply to the next creation.        — Emile Norman

Episode 17:   (note also Episode #20 Interview with David published 03/15/22)

David Price, dear friend and former neighbor needs no introduction in Big Sur. David is a well known musician, promotor, Father, actor, producer and much else. He now lives in Legnica, Poland.  We talk about how things are for him personally and how he perceives the situation in his neighborhood, both near and further away.

I asked David if he had any music, poetry and/or literature to recommend at this time and he sent us this link of a Ukrainian Military Band:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqeCZMy5GUE

From David in just now: I hope to have some video tomorrow - I'm going to the top of a castle tower in the center of the city with probably the best trumpet player in Poland and he's going to play the Ukrainian hymn.

We will post link here!

The discussion with Anna Vassilieva HERE!
