Music from the time of Muslim traders in Gambia (c. 800) to

taking to the road for a loop through Canyon (a rustic Lagunitas-like community shivering in the redwoods), Skyline Drive (with the fog coming in), and Fish Ranch Road (git along little haddock), to return bikeside and poolside with Harriet and the



newspaper, for another orchestrated page of



The Opera of Daniel: V. Belshazzar's Feast.
