..................... One: The Thunderstorm ................................
Our original master recording was made from a 30 ips half inch tape, quadraphonically, and was recorded in the high Sierras near Squaw Valley. The hail storm was not planned, but if you listen closely, you can detect vertical images, as well as horizontal and 3 dimensional images. Hail striking different levels of a buiilding; roof, decking, railing, and the ground below, provides the inmnermost detail. The Wind chimes are made of authentic silver spoons and things. Now, light the fire, and pour the wine!" ....................

......................... Two: The Coast Daylight ......
"Steam Locomotive No. 4449, became America's most famous steam locomotive, as she paraded coast to coast during our Bicentennial celebration, pulling the American Freedom Train (1975-76). But before that, she was one of the famous Daylight streamliner passenger locomotives built for Southern Pacific during the late 1930's and early 1940's. After sitting idle, rusting away in a Portland Oregon, park for nearly sixteen years, No. 4449 was fully restored to mint operating condition, and proceeded to thrill the nation as the symbol and motive power of the American Freedom Train. While I did not travel the full 28,000 miles during No. 4449's national tour, I did record numerous scenes taht were reminiscent of my boyhood days, on Southern Pacific's Coast Daylight route. Let's turn back the clock, at least twenty-five years, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, but with today's state of the art recording techniques. Talk about a time machine..."Brad Miller! .............
