moving day!

Quote:

Uh, here's the Santa Susana Pass Historical State Park sign that I passed on the way to Santa Susana Pass & Iverson

[image]

I drove to Santa Susana Pass & Iverson, which is more or less where Spahn Ranch was. There's a church there now. Probably the same church where Iamaphoney is found praying at the end of RA 101 (but I didn't go in to check).

I parked in the church parking lot.

[image]

After parking, I walked down Iverson and took this picture of the Iverson Road sign where it intersects with Santa Susana Pass

[image]

So then, following Iamaphoney's footsteps from RA 101, I turned left (east) on Santa Susana Pass and walked past that Historical State Park sign, looking for those telephone poles and for that post with the large chunk cut out of it.

I recognized these landmarks; they weren't difficult to find:

[image]

No one bothered me. No mysterious men in black or Manson/Crowley/cultists were there; no one followed me or has been following me.

It's overcast though. If it had rained, I would have left. On the other hand, if it had been a HOT day, I wouldn't have undertaken this, in the first place. That's when snakes are most likely to be out in force. It was pretty cool though, but even so, I felt somewhat apprehensive.

You can believe that I watched carefully where I tread through the underbrush.

I did go exploring by walking through the underbrush, carefully watching my step. If I had heard anything that sounded like a hiss or a rattle, I would have gotten out of Dodge. But I didn't run into anything like that, so I kept going.

None of the underbrush/shrubbery etc. really looked like the scene from RA 101, so there was a certain amount of hit-and-miss searching going on, but it wasn't an extremely wide area to search.

Finally, I headed here:

[image]

At least, I THINK that this was it. Maybe I forgot to take pictures of the very last place I searched. Maybe this is one of the places that I searched beforehand.

Anyway, I will confess to a certain amount of excitement when I looked through whatever it was I looked through and saw a brown familiar shape. I don't know what I would have done if there had been a snake resting possessively on top of it.

But there was none, so I pulled it out and photographed it on the spot:

[image]

I made off with it, out of the field, back onto Santa Susana Pass, looking over my shoulder (no one was following me) and back up Iverson Road to the church parking lot where I drove off.

Then when I had arrived at my host's residence and got to use the computer, I left my cryptic messages, which got you all so excited.

Here's a front and back picture of the briefcase: this time from the comfort of my guest room:

[image]

I just broke open the damn thing by putting pressure on the strap. I had already broken it open by the time I took these pictures.

OK, here's what was in it:

1) The Crowley book that I alluded to earlier; the 1976 edition. I see that a medium-sized photograph doesn't really show clearly the 1976 copyright in the title page, but that's what it is. There are no handwritten inscriptions inside this book; I checked.

[image]

2) An album cover and LP of "The Magic Christian" with Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers. I see that I have neglected to take a picture of the LP. I don' thave an LP player or an old phonograph to play it on, and I don't know anyway why the LP should have on it something that others haven't already heard.

The back of the album cover has some extraneous scratchings on it, presumably of matters that were of importance to Iamaphoney or someone.

[image]

Someone decided to underline "MacLen Music", as having produced "Come and Get It" (written by "Paul McCartney") and the reference to "Lilli" from Lilli Marlene.

And is that supposed to be some original handwritten doodling from Sir Paul McCartney in the lower right-hand corner? Or did all of these albums come with that doodling imprinted on them?

And here's something else that was in there. I can't imagine why it is important. It's a two-sided poster, with the well-known picture from MMT of "Paul" in uniform sitting over the sign that says, "I Was" or "I Was You" or "I You Was" on one side, and with another picture of "Paul" and Ringo in their wizard outfits on the other side.

[image]

And there was one more thing in there: a CD

There's a 15 second scene in there that will probably excite some comment, but it doesn't exactly shed much light. I uploaded it to YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3YWiLybc5c

And that's what was in the briefcase when I found it. It IS a briefcase, not a suitcase, by the way, as you can see. As far as I can see, there aren't any hidden compartments that might contain anything else.

Although, again, the CD that I uploaded to YouTube will excite some commentary, there doesn't seem to have been anything in the briefcase that would be worth killing for -- or even worth risking snakebite for.

And those of you reading this may well feel that it wasn't worth the wait, and I don't blame you. Well, it's time for Iamaphoney to fish or cut bait on April 10.

Susanna is a feminine given name. It is the name of at least two women in the Bible. It is often spelt Susannah, although Susanna is the original spelling. It is derived from Σουσάννα (Sousanna), the Greek form of the Hebrew Shoshannah, which is derived from the Hebrew shoshan meaning lily. The spelling Susanna is used in Sweden, Italy, Netherlands and Finland.

plenty more........

You have to click on the image a second time to be able to read it.
address
Kelso, Roxburghshire TD5 8RL
UK

floyding, what is the meaning of that? Is TD5 8RL a street address? Where is this place in the bigger scheme of things?

The only connection I can possibly make is "Roxy Music".

MilesDeo, what is that?

floyding, did you just plug in "8RL" into a search engine, and come up with this place on the map you posted?
I am trying to understand. Not being a resident of Britain, it seems to me there must be
a few thousand addresses with "8RL" in them, but I may be wrong.
Our addresses in the States look nothing like that.

I think it is Dewsbury, I pondered the fact that it may have been Tekesbury a long time, but I conceded on that.

LB it's the equivalent of a US Zip Code, we call it a Post/Postal Code.

The address probably has absolutely nothing to do with where an accident took place,
but perhaps someone living at that address knows a thing or two, eh?

Most of you probably already know this, but just in case.....

I have the original album and I can confirm that all of the scribbles are annotations (including the drawing and address on the bottom corner) were not included in the original artwork of the cover. If you want me to check any other details of the cover or of the record itself, let me know.

Quote:

Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans
And then I'll look around
And when I find my gal Susanne,
I'll fall upon the ground.
The actual original lyrics include good examples of nonsense verse:
I came from Alabama wid my banjo on my knee,
I'm g'wan to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It raind all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh! Susanna Oh! don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
Wid mi banjo on my knee.
I had a dream de odder night, when ebery ting was still;
I thought I saw Susana, a coming down de hill.
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
Says I, im coming from de South, Susana dont you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans,and den I'll look around
And when I find Susana,I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, Dis darkie 'l surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried,Susana, dont you cry.

Sheet music published by C. Holt Jr.. New York, [February] 1848.
The thick mock African-American dialect reflects the minstrel show tradition that Foster worked in. Foster's version included another verse that is rarely sung today because of its "violently racist" content:

I jump'd aboard the telegraph and trabbled down de ribber,
De lectrick fluid magnified, and kill'd five hundred Nigga.
De bulgine bust and de hoss ran off, I really thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my bref -- Susanna don't you cry.

Yes, but you have to remember that in Magical Mystery Tour, the magicians said the bus was in that location. Then a whole bunch of time and events went by. When the magicians appeared again, the bus was still in the same location.

While that was most likely due to bad editing and no story, it is also plausible that on the earthly plane of existence the bus was not moving because it had reached the location where life had ended. Substitute Paul for bus and you have the story of a car crash where consciousness flows on, but the victim's body remains stationary.
