Headin out to California

This shoutout goes to Nosmo King, friend of my yoot, sage of the age, oracle of Greece and all round nice guy. I’ll see you when I get there.

Yes, this is the beginning of my sojourn. I give credit to the afore mentioned Mr. King, because he was the one that turned me on to Billy Joel in 1973. The following lyric if from Piano Man. side one, Stop in Nevada:

Oh, and now he’s heading out to California
With some money in his pocket he’s a rocket on the fourth of July
And he left a little letter said he’s gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, goodbye.

I’m sure Mr. Joel will excuse the slight gender change to accommodate the present situation.
