Savvy Traveler asked me to go from Seattle to LA without driving or flying. I start on a train, then a cab, then a bus...
I wanted to get my 'finger on the pulse' of America, idealistic I was.
I came across a foreigner, Uncle Sam, a religious soldier, a wanderer...and myself.
"I've been on the train all day and it's starting to get dark. I don't like traveling at night. I'm worried my reporter's eyes will catch my own reflected in the window...at night, it's too easy to look inwards."

- With Good Reason
Musicologist Sophia Serghi draws on the heavy metal and grunge of her youth to take classical music where it’s never been before. Her original string compositions have been performed all over the world – at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and even at the Olympic Games in Athens. She’ll talk about and share some of the music from her collection, From Byzantium to Punk Rock. Also featured: some people just listen to music on their laptops. Ivica Ico Bukvic uses whole groups of laptops to create live musical performances. Bukvic is the director of L2Ork, the first Linux-based orchestra in the world – which uses everything from salad bowls to video game remotes to produce his feverish sonic music. And also featured: On her CD, “From Bartok to the Popol Vuh”, pianist Louise Billaud performs “Incantations” by composer Kent Holliday. We’ll hear about the give and take between composer and interpreter in deciding just how to approach a piece of music.

What initially seemed like a fun experiment ended up getting tricky, as we reached the end of the spectrum and discovered just how few blue edibles there are out there...
