Our Man in Europe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "ORBIT!"
...ORIBIT OF THE GODS, our circum-non-navigation is MANIFEST, a random curse or just plain "good luck", we have come so far in our fallibility...in space & time?
In Switzerland, south of Basel, just above the famed "RICOLA"/herb-mouth mint factory, hitch-hiking, backpack, guitar, a lone roadside apple tree. I plucked off 4 & left the other 20 apples for whosoever might follow me...
By Torino, Italy near the FIAT car factory in a warehouse BAR (Ragazzos - MEN - ONLY/1975) the Friday night boys drank mucho Vino & sang their hearts out where 2 "chosen" Tenors sang: "O Sole Mio, etc." & the (Fiat workers) 300 choir, the lads dutifully accompanied in perfect somber harmony; the Opera at "La Scala" in Milano, THESE GUYS? -their pain, resignation, love, passion without compare.
Hitch hiking across the Nevada desert, U.S.A., my throat parched, heat-stroke, but I managed a whistle brave & true. I was flailing. No water. It was getting Night, but a Hippy B/W bus stopped, gave me a ride to Las Vegas: Lights-Camera-ACTION! Free drinks. Free buffet. (Play BLACKJACK!) Strange things happen but sometimes it's true?
