My connection is radio. As a kid in the 60s I found cool stations coming out of Berkeley. Everyone had transistor radios with ear pieces, the forerunner. When I lived in the woods in northern California I had a battery radio and when I lived in town I listened to radio because I didn't have tv. In the earthquake of 89' I lived in a cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains, no tv. That night I lit candles and listened to radio. On 9-11 I was making early morning deliveries. Listening to radio I understood we were under attack. At each stop I heard people talking about it. I heard the news helicopter say they had been ordered to land, all airspace had to clear. Driving under wide skies I felt vulnerable. I thought this is how people felt after they heard about Pearl harbor on radio. Our local station has a live show for visiting musicians. Every weekend they broadcast live music like stations did all the time in the early 20thc. There is a jazz station over the hill that plays long sessions between 2 and 6 am. I use it as a soundtrack for the pre dawn landscape.
