This started with the idea of wilderness or wildlands and then evolved into a triptych of sea, desert and mountain songs. Missed opportunity was to read this passage from The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles: "How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that." Thanks for remembering The Continental on WXNA.
