This is my story of a once in a lifetime trip. It gives a feel for what America is really like after the tumultuous years of President Trump and the Covid pandemic. After years of planning, the adventure can finally start. This is a story of two ordinary Brits on a road trip, coast to coast, across the USA. I go on this journey with G, my wife of 30 years, Ginette. The book is about travelling across the continental USA and includes routes taken and places we visited, but it is also about our own personal situation leading up to the trip. I''ve taken inspiration from "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck, a favourite of mine. The story covers our travels from the east coast starting in Washington DC, across to Nashville & Memphis, north following the Mississippi River to St Louis, through Kansas taking the loneliest road to Denver, up through Yellowstone National Park and then the long stretch across to Portland, Oregon, down the Pacific Coast Highway to our final destination, Huntington Beach, California. Travelling through 15 states, covering over 6,000 miles. My thoughts and reflections detailed as the trip unfolds. Along the way I mention people we meet, my own observations of life in America including how divided the country has become. We visit some incredible national parks, settle into long drives on roads that reach to the horizon, get held up by snow in Wyoming, stopped by the police and meet lots of interesting people. Along the way we stop at world famous attractions such as Graceland, home of The King, Elvis Presley. Some parts of this vast country seem to have hardly changed since the first emigrants arrived. While some of the cities and towns have seen better days. Some of the places we visit are beautiful, some are extremely dangerous. Emotional, exciting and sometimes shocking. See y''all down the road!

Humor is a universal human emotion, with many proven positive effects. These proven positive effects are invaluable to a vocal artist in reaching an audience. This document starts with an introduction to humorous art song. Following this is a critical defense of its inclusion in modern concert programming by exploring the effective use of humor in entertainment, clinical psychology, and business.Specific humorous art song sets are analyzed to validate this repertory as effective and legitimate. Performance options, text analysis, form, and score analysis were included. In the first section, Craigslistlieder by Gabriel Kahane (2009) and Another Reason I Dont Keep a Gun in the House by Tom Cipullo (1998) are explored. The second section introduces a compositional pattern that I have termed the short pithy song. These songs contrast other traditional art songs as they are extremely brief. The song sets explored are two collections, 19 Short Songs about Chuck Norris by David Harned Johnson (2016) and Do you sing, Mr. Twain? by Gordon Myers (1999). This study is informed through direct score analysis, online interviews, literature review, video performance analysis, and a phone interview with Dr. David Harned Johnson..

"Linda Lee Harper''s language in this book is deft, down-to-earth, and sensuous. With style and empathy, she connects to nature, to each other, to ourselves. This is work that''s accessible, imaginative, and wise. The world of water invites us in and becomes our looking glass."--Joan Fishbein.

Winner of the White Eagle Coffee Store Press Fall 1997 Poetry Chapbook Contest. This book, with its evocative, sensual, Nabokovian language and creative humor, invites us to become another person for one week--a person of excess, richness, daring, and considerable spirit. In reading The Wide View, I found myself wishing I had the "daredevil, dirigible heart" of this book''s subject, as well as the ability to write in a way that constantly surprises, as Harper does. --Kris Piepenberg.
