Of course not, but I'm sure you will agree that it would be nice to hear something written by a professional Hollywood person, namely Joss Whedon, instead of another tune by a broken down guitar picker and his henchmen. These two songs were recorded in 2014 during a fit of hubris when Knees was thinking he wasn't such a bad singer after all -- especially with his harmonizer cranking out the harmonies. So he took two of his favorite songs from the "Once More With Feeling" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one sung by Spike and one by Giles, and did his version of them.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Buffy expert Dugym Qycfyl was duly impressed with the productions. That episode was amazing. Written in about three weeks, rehearsed for one and every original song was nailed by amateur singers. Each song fit the plot perfectly and I didn't even notice the dancing, but I'm told it was very good. These two songs were written by a sharp person, Joss Whedon.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.ramblehouse.com/music/RestInPeace.mp3">REST IN PEACE</a></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Spike's Song</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.ramblehouse.com/music/Standing2014.mp3">STANDING</a></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Giles' song</span></b></p>Fender Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02513557281748460733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730480994683872862.post-33255783545954186542020-09-26T20:28:00.009-07:002020-09-26T21:12:33.563-07:00The Glowing Green Gambit<div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Knees had no problem coming up with haunting love themes for the first two segments of TOTAH TRILOGY but he was stumped by the plot of The Glowing Green Gambit, which was about a scam perpetrated in a bar well-known to Knees fans, Harry's Bar, close by the Allen Theater.

So Arky had to park the Lincoln down the block from Harry’s Bar. Harry’s was on the north side of Main in the same block as the Palace Grocery, the Allen Theater, a barber shop, Gardenschwartz sporting goods and Sweetbriar clothing store. Harry’s was sandwiched between the barber shop and Gardenschwartz, with a door that opened onto a long bar on the left and a few tables towards the back, away from the street.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Across the street was a drug store, McClellan’s five and dime store, Brown’s Shoes and a furniture store. Arky parked in front of the ultra-modern shoe store, and they all checked out the black leather wingtips in the window before walking across the street to the bar. It was right at 11 o’clock in the morning.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ace Spelvin, a rotund balding man in an orange plaid suit, was sitting at the long bar and spotted them as they entered. They were momentarily blinded by the relative darkness of the bar as they came in from the bright sunlit day.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Arky!

Ace had mentioned poker, causing Arky to stiffen momentarily, but soon the laughs were coming regularly, with Neta having an especially good time surrounded by the four more or less oiled men.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Inevitably, Ace brought up envelopes. “I tell you, Arky, there’s nothing worse than some rival competitor sneakin’ a peek at your company’s mail. It happens all the time.

You can see through the regular envelopes. But ours, you can use any kinda light you want, hell, use a lighthouse beacon if you want, but you can’t see anything through our envelopes. They’re white, but they’re totally opaque. An’ speakin’ of sixth sense, they’re so good that J. B. Rhine used them for his ESP experiments. He didn’t want anybody being able to see through the envelopes at the cards inside so he used ours.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“And that’s another thing,” Ace continued, getting into a rhythm, “we use a special glue that really sticks. Once you seal a Security Stationers envelope that sucker stays sealed. Anybody tries to open it, you can tell right away.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Arky looked skeptical. “I don’t know, Ace.

How about you pick one of the cards and without letting anyone know which one, put it in the envelope and seal it. Then we’ll see if we can see which design it is.

Don’t worry. But I’m definitely gonna give it some more thought. Bartender, how about bringin’ that tab?” The salesman got up slowly and signed the slip the bartender handed him.

Finally, Arky said, “You know, all of this ‘wave of the future’ talk has got me goin’. That ESP stuff is all bull but I’m thinkin’ that we might ought to look into the real power behind this little scam we ran on Ace. I’m talking fluoroscopy. Did you have any trouble with the machine, Tucker?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Not at all. It was just as we planned. As soon as I got out the door I ran across the street to Brown’s Shoes, stuck the envelope in the foot part of the Green Magic Foot-O-Scope machine and looked through the viewer. The design on the card stood out like a sore toe. Then I ran back here.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“That’s right! And just about every damn shoe store in the country has one of them machines. I even heard that some clothes stores are thinkin’ about usin’ ’em to make sure people’re gettin’ the right size clothes. Hell, they’ll be using fluoroscope machines in everything pretty soon. In hat stores, in the underwear department—you name it!”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bill and Tucker sat up. “You might be onto something, Arky,” Tucker agreed. “Maybe we ought to be thinking about putting our money into fluoroscopes, instead of oil. Gotdoggit, this may be big.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The four got up and walked to the door, one by one exiting the dark bar.

That's all this song started out to be, a joke song. One of the lines in the song is "I checked the dictionary and loof just cain't be found," and it is imperative to the song (and the joke) that there's no such word as "loof" in the dictionary. And sure enough, it's not in my favorite dictionary, Winston's Simplified Dictionary, the 1932 Advanced Edition. It doesn't have modern words in it, but it has almost all of the words I want to look up. </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">But wouldn't you know it, the Millennials (or whoever runs the internet) sabotaged my song and my joke by coming up with a definition for "loof" in their Urban Dictionary.

<b><span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I think it's time for a new genre, something like "Literary Mining" where a songwriter will find the lyrics of a song in a novel and put some music to it. The author of the novel probably had a specific melody and arrangement in mind when he wrote it, but the charm of the genre is that the listener gets a vicarious version of the song. Ideally, the novel would come with a link to a recording BY the author so you could hear both versions, but of course it would be wrong for the songwriter (me) to listen to the author's version before doing his own.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The genre, while not named, has been around for a while. The first one was "Tommy's Trains" which was taken from <i>Gravity's Rainbow</i> by Thomas Pynchon. Next was "Maybe It's the Wind" from Jim Thompson's <i>South of Heaven</i>, followed by "The Doper's Dream", also from<i> Rainbow. </i>Now the genre is embiggened by the latest: "If It Ain't Fried" from Donald E. Westlake's Branson Missouri murder mystery, <i>Baby Would I Lie?</i> </span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">As far as I know, neither Pynchon, Thompson nor Westlake has made their versions of the songs, if there is one, available.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">As for the lyrics to "If It Ain't Fried" they sounded perfect for Elvis to sing, so I used the most obvious rockabilly melody I could think of. I even let the Snidenaires (my Jordanaires-like backup group) echo every line in case you missed it. Then Gavin O'Keefe added some viola chops. All that was left to do was to fry up some delicious bacon and start singing.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /> Recently I read one of the best books about songwriting, Jimmy Webb's TUNESMITH. In it he talks about melodies and how they usually fit a "scale". But he says that if your melody has more than three or four notes in a row in a CHROMATIC scale, you're probably doing something wrong. A chromatic scale is one that has every note in it. C to C# to D to D# to E to F to F# . . . But when I figured out the melody for the chorus of this song I realized that it had a phrase that consisted of SEVEN chromatic notes in a row. Should I change it?<br /><br /> Well, the melody on the last line of the chorus uses the chords A7 and D7 and ends with G7 on the last note. Like this:<br /><br />A7 D7 G7 C<br />Inching our way up another plateau. Oh! Oh! Oh!<br /><br /> and the ending notes of the melody are:<br /><br /> F# G G# A A# B C<br />Inching our way up an-oth-er plat-eau. Oh! Oh! Oh!<br /><br /> So, according to Jimmy Webb, the melody shouldn't work, but can you imagine better words for a melody that climbs up seven steps, one half-tone at a time, than "Inching our way up another plateau. Oh! Oh! Oh!"<br /><br /> Let's face it, when it comes to sex, inching is by far the best way to go.<br /> </span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"> I'm not even going to mention the appropriateness of what follows the words, "Then we came": a huge major chord, followed inevitably by the afterglowing lassitude of its minor.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was a real quickie from Knees. The song started playing in his head while he was watching the Alabama-Clemson game and when it was over he laid down some tracks and sent an MP3 to Gavin O'Keefe, who added a couple of viola tracks. All in one day.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.ramblehouse.com/music/Birds2016.mp3" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BIRDS</span></a></span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">By the way, the old song is by Neil Young. There's a strange measure in the chorus where Neil skips a beat or two, but nothing I tried in Band in a Box sounded right so I smoothed the song out and kept it all in 4/4 time. Easier to dance to, I imagine.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which brings me to an observation I recently made about my 25-year musical career. Other than a year I spent playing piano in a small lounge with a trio (1983?), my whole career was playing for people to dance. I don't remember EVER playing where people were seated and looking, as in an audience. I don't think we ever played a song that had an odd measure. If people danced, we felt we played well. If they didn't, it was a bad night.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I guess this is why I prefer to put my songs here rather than on YouTube, and why all of the Knees Calhoon songs are danceable. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I recorded this song by mistake. I knew that Gavin O'Keefe was a Jimmy Webb fan and I vaguely remembered a song from 1965 by the LA band Love called <i>My Little Red Book</i> that was by Webb. Or so I thought. But it turns out to have been written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. I had my unlikely folkrock songwriters mixed up. I didn't discover that until I had recorded it and sent it to Gavin, who said he had never heard it before, but found it catchy.</span></span></b></div>

Gavin added some viola chugs on the right and left. It's a little slower than the Love version and the compelling rhythm set up by the accented 8 beat is more insistent because of it, I think.</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A kind listener mentioned to me that I've been mixing my vocals lower lately, making it harder to understand the lyrics. This is probably true, and this song certainly is guilty of having the vocal challenged by the instruments. I always use headphones at home and in the car I have 4 speakers so I can really hear the separation. I imagine that the music I make sounds pretty muddy on a 2-inch computer speaker system. Or any speaker at a low volume. I don't do any "mastering", which is the last stage where the wizards make every instrument stand out perfectly at any volume on any speaker setup. I just make them sound good in my headphones. And since I identify more with the Rolling Stones than I do Frank Sinatra, I mix the songs accordingly.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I spent just about every night during the years 1970 - 1987 at a bar playing and singing and when I hear music I hear it pretty loud. Not necessarily loud in volume, but loud in feel. If you can't understand what I'm saying, then crank it up a bit. Hey, it's a bar. No one will mind. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> There are some clues on the double-sided sheet as to when it was written. After "Nowhere Man" and the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things", probably when Knees was in Las Cruces at NMSU and Skip was in the Navy. Late 1965. Fifty-five years ago.</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we come to a real program. It's a puzzle game for one and I got it from <i>Games Magazine</i> and game designer Sid Sackson. I adapted it to fit the conceit I had developed over the months that LOADSTAR was a towering building in Shreveport LA that grew one story each month and was now up to 81 stories. The story was that Knees Calhoon, my evil clone, was constantly trying to take the Tower away from me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The puzzle is an excellent one and not easily solveable. The rules are simple and probably a lot of the Read It is unnecessary.<span><span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span><span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Knees Calhoon. The name rolls trippingly off the tongue like a bowling ball off a stepladder. Invariably it’s followed by a scream as if the ball had landed upon a unshod metatarsal — at least around here at the Tower — for Knees Calhoon, my semi-mythical antagonist, has locked me out of my penthouse suite, reprogrammed the Tower’s elevator system, and now threatens to turn LOADSTAR into a professional wrestling magazine. </span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>I knew I should have called up the LOADSTAR
SWAT team before opening my door last week. If you remember, Calhoon, who may
or may not be a time-travelling plagiarist, brought me a couple of Jukeboxes
(see the Read It for 1890’s JUKEBOX III on Side 3), and passed himself off as a
friend of LOADSTAR. But I sensed that I didn’t have to go as far as Denmark to
find something rotten, and when he swooped into my office that night, throwing
me down the elevator shaft, I knew that Nostrodamus’ infamous ‘lost’ quatrain
had come true.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>It doesn’t take an atomic cosmetologist to
see that Calhoon is the Weasel and the Ladders are the elevators of the
LOADSTAR Tower, which Calhoon has sabotaged so that I can’t get back into the
penthouse. I’m not sure who else is referred to in the quatrain, but it’s
probably nobody important.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The good news, dear LOADSTARites, is that I
think I’ve devised a way that, with your help, Calhoon can be rousted for good
from the Tower. I used all of my electronic and computing skills to figure out
what he had done to the elevator system and came up with this program, ELEVATOR
MUSIC. What we need to do is fill the sixteen elevators with SWAT teamsters and
get them all up to the top four floors of the Tower at one time. Right now the
sixteen elevators are on the bottom floors.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The catch is that there are three ‘rules’ we
have to follow in moving the elevators.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(1) An elevator can only be moved up a certain
number of floors at a time. This number is exactly the number of elevators that
occupy the floor it’s currently on. If there are three elevators on a floor,
then any one of the elevators can move up three, and only three, floors.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(2) There are four different colors of elevators,
and four of each color. You CANNOT have two elevators of the same color on the
same floor.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(3) If an elevator is on a floor by itself,
it can only move if it is NOT the highest elevator of its color.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>You will notice that elevators are in four
columns and can jump ‘over’ other elevators. Like I said, Calhoon really
sabotaged the system. Each column has one of each color in it. There is no way
for elevators to change columns. You have to leapfrog them up to the top of the
Tower, following the three rules. It doesn’t make any difference what order
they’re in on the top four floors.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>I’ve made the program error-proof (famous
last words) so that you can’t break the rules. As you move the white cursor
around with the CRSR keys, any legal move will be shown to you by a colored
‘phantom’ cursor in a higher story. The choice you have to make is which
elevator to move when. Since there are four elevators on each floor to begin
with, any of the elevators can be moved up four floors.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Two elevators cannot occupy the same column
and floor at the same time, obviously.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Oh yeah. I forgot about the most despicable
thing Calhoon has done. He’s spliced together enough Muzak (r) to turn Lawrence
Welk punk and is piping it into the elevator shafts at heavy metal volume. I
had to suffer through three solid days of it while devising the program but
luckily for you I’ve added a feature that allows you to toggle the schmaltz on
and off. Just press S.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>There are a few more features I’ve added. If
you find you don’t have any more moves left and you’re stuck on some lower
floors, you can press F1 and try again from scratch. This is often the best
thing to do.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>If you make a bonehead move and realize it
right away, you can take your move back by pressing F3. Only one move at a time
is allowed to be taken back.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>F5 will show you the current LOADSTAR SWAT
Teamsters, mighty heroes who have gotten all sixteen elevators up to the top
four floors. If you can do it, you can add your name to this illustrious list.
Thirty is the maximum number of Teamsters allowed. If you want to clear the
list, just scratch the file “swat team”.</span></span></span></div>

number of the top floors to be retaken is shown. Each elevator you move to one

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>It’s not important how many moves it takes
you to get the top four floors taken, but the program counts your moves anyway.
Rousting Calhoon is all that really matters.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>All of the keypresses are listed on the
screen so you needn’t remember all this. Save your mental energy for the task
ahead of you. There are many, many different ways to do it so I haven’t added a
‘solution’ key. I think that it’s a good idea to concentrate on the top floor
first, then the floor below that. If you can get those two completely filled,
the lowest two floors will be easy.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>I never realized how cold it is down here on
the lower floors. Now I know how Leona and the Donald felt. Please help me
regain my rightful place in the penthouse. Anyone sending me a videotape (VHS
only) showing a successful game from start to finish will receive an autographed
cassette tape of THE DOGGEREL DAYS OF KNEES CALHOON. Calhoon may be another
Hitler, but the guy sure did record some nifty original tunes back in the 60’s
and 70’s. If you balk at wasting a whole videotape for a short game sequence,
feel free to fill up the tape with any post-1980 movie rated PG-13 or above.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Another way to get Calhoon’s tape is to be
one of the first ten LOADSTARites to send me a list of the song titles of all
twenty of the songs, in order.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>DISCLAIMER: How many times have I harped
about copyright infringement against living, breathing and suing songwriters,
and here I go putting twenty tunes in one program! Well, my defense is that
three measures do not a lawsuit make. Sure, you can get a Knees Calhoon tape by
“naming the tunes” but I’ll risk contempt of court charges by denying that the
ugliness passed off as music is anything but random fiddling by a demented SONGSMITHer.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was still learning my chops with LOADSTAR #80 and this time it was music. The Commodore 64 had a synthesizer chip, called the SID chip, that was quite a bit better than any other music chip around in the 80s and 90s. With headphones a real C-64 sounded great and we had background music for all of our "presenters", as we called our main LOADSTAR menu program. If you've been downloading and running the .d81 files you've heard some of this music and it probably sounded pretty bad. SID music on a true C-64 had a beautiful, full sound. But the same music, on a PC in an emulator, sounds terrible. I can't recommend listening to SID music through an emulator. But I do have some Commodore-64 music I think you'll like. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is another simple program but it has graphics, music, and some animation so it shows BASIC programmers how to put all those together in the 64K we have. So the Read It gets a little technical. There are two .d81 files to download because I re-did the program on LOADSTAR #182. It's sort of a sequel.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Once upon a time there was a highway that
wound from Chicago to LA, more than 2000 miles all the way. And if you planned
to motor west, this was the highway that was the best. You could get your kicks
on ROUTE 66.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The past is the saddest tense, even when the
words are shamefully plagiarized. The days of driving across this wonderful
country of ours and actually LIVING it are gone. Now we have the Interstate
Highway system, which lets you get from coast to coast with fewer flats, but
doesn’t let you meet anyone. With all of the easy off/easy on gas stations and
motels, it’s possible to drive across the USA and never even notice that New
Mexico is a whole different world from Illinois.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>But not so in 1950, when my family drove from
New Mexico to LA and back several times. Back then you could scrounge up a
couple of your Jack Kerouac/Neal Casady-type buddies and ball that jack from
Chi-town to Hollywood, stopping at every podunk town and village that straddled
“America’s Main Street”, as ROUTE 66 was called.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Pardon me for waxing nostalgic,
something I’ve been doing more and more as I get older and America gets
plasticker, but I’m betting that a lot of LOADSTARites remember ROUTE 66 and
the days before roadside sign laws. I’m also betting that taking a simulated
trip from Chicago to LA on computer will prove to be entertaining enough that
not too many people will notice that there’s not a whole lot of interactivity
in this program.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>It started out as a file with a bunch of my favorite
BURMA SHAVE signs. Then I figured a few hi-res landscapes would be nice. Then I
thought, hey, you can’t drive cross-country without a radio.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>And so I ended up with ROUTE 66, which
doesn’t DO anything, but maybe will tweak a forgotten memory. All you have to
do is Run It and sit back in your bucket seat and groove. “It should be a red
Corvette!” some viewers may say, but I decided that a Packard or a Hudson
better fit into my vision of bombing down 66. Easier to draw, too.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Okay. You have your foot on the pedal (CRSR
UP/DOWN), your right hand on the radio dial (R) and your left elbow hanging out
the window. Fuzz-buster? You don’t need no stinking Fuzz-buster! Radar is what
our boys in Korea are using to roust those marauding Chi-Coms! Our government
would never use radar on its own citizens!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>I wonder how many people have wondered what
the hell THE THING! was? It seemed like every ten miles there’d be a big yellow
sign warning you not to miss THE THING! Well, for the benefit of those common-sensical
sorts who never stopped, I’ll tell you what it was. My mother was too wise to
stop when my brothers and I would scream “THE THING! Let’s stop!”, but my
daughter forced me to check it out a few years ago.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>It’s a giant tourist trap/souvenir shop with
a museum of 19th century wagons, farm implements, riding gear, etc. Above each
one is a sign that says “In 1890, this wagon was just THE THING for getting to
town.” Now, aren’t you glad you never stopped?</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>What got me on this ROUTE 66 kick was a
couple of terrific books (what else?). One is <i>The Verse by the Side of the
Road</i> by Frank Rowsome. It’s the history of the Burma Shave company and
their signs, and is <i>very</i> entertaining.
All 600+ Burma Shave poems are listed. I picked some of my favorites for this
program.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The other book is <i>Route 66: The Mother Road</i> by Michael Wallace, St. Martin’s Press,
NY 1990. It’s a great coffee table book with plenty of pictures and first
person stories about the highway as it was in the 20’s through the 60’s.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Each of the states that Route 66 used to run
through has its own “Route 66 Club” but the main one seems to be the ROUTE 66
ASSOCIATION, P.O. Drawer 5323, Oxnard CA 93031. Write them if you’re interested
in this wonderful bit of Americana.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>ROUTE 66 takes a while to load since it has
so many files. If you have SUPER SNAPSHOT you could capture it as 90-block
program and cut the setup time drastically. I chose not to use a captured
version on LOADSTAR since some readers may want to see how to use music and
hi-res pictures at the same time.</span></span></span></div>

will too if you try to use these utilities together. Watch out for:</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(1) When Songsmith music is playing you can’t
use the RND command. Why? I don’t know, but it sure is a hassle.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(2) All three songs use the same instrument
file. Since the data MUST be on page 207, I would have had to use COPYMEM.O to
swap data for the different songs in and out of page 207. It’s blasphemous for
a programmer to say this, but there comes a time when one has to say, “Nah, too
much trouble.”</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>(3) Switching between hi-res pics either
causes a momentary color glitch or a blank screen. I chose the blank screen and
used a TUNNEL AHEAD sign to explain it. This technique is used more often than

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Accomplished programmers may see my attempts
at using LOADSTAR tools as feeble, but if you are starting out in programming,
I very much recommend trying something simple. A high sheriff here at Softdisk
thought I ought to make the program into an interactive car-racing game. Obviously
he doesn’t program and have a monthly deadline.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The pictures were drawn with DOODLE. Because
the pictures are mostly color background with little foreground, they packed
down very small with “unpacker.89”. If I had had Walt Harned draw the scenery
(as I originally planned), I would have had memory problems getting three
hi-res pictures in memory at once.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The music was done with SONGSMITH. All three
songs are typical guitar riffs I used to play all too often when I was a lounge
lizard. It’s fun throwing in notes that would be practically impossible to play
(and repeat) on the guitar. The SID chip plays them easily, but unfortunately
without the twang.</span></span></span></div>

wrote the song, “Route 66”, and the Rolling Stones, for bringing it to my attention
back in 1965.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span></span></span><i><span></span></i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Back on LOADSTAR #80 there was a mini-travelogue called ROUTE 66 that apologized for not being very "interactive". That was before the age of demos, which brought respectability to programs that look great but don't really do much.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ROUTE 66 '99 is the same program with a few added features, not the least of which is the artwork of Walt Harned. It's also been LINKed and CRUNCHed into one file which, for all intents and purposes, can't be distinguished from a real European style demo. Purists may insist that demos be written in 100% ML but I disagree. I call this a demo.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The program is not entirely useless. You can enjoy a few old Burma Shave signs (which merit a large nostalgic article of their own), be reminded of the upcoming Chicage EXPO in Lansing IL on September 25, 1999, listen to some Knees Calhoon tunes, and narrowly miss getting disintegrated by trendy meteorites as you make the trip from Los Angeles to Chi-town. Is it 1955 or is it 1999? It's hard to say.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> If you've never hopped into a '54 Packard and balled that jack from Chicago to LA (or LA to Chicago) then this is your chance. Before Eisenhower's Interstate highway system, Route 66 was [the] way to go. It was two-lane and full of stomach-churning dips, but at least it had classy road signs like those crazy red things from Burma Shave.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Jack Kerouac immortalized Route 66, which John Steinbeck called "The Mother Road", in his classic stream of consciousness novel, On the Road. With an amphetamine-powered Neal Cassady at the wheel Jack and his beat buddies saw the country the way it was meant to be seen. Back then you drove [through] every little podunk village, not around it. You stayed at "mo-tels" and ate at family-owned hamburger joints and cafes. Sure, you had a flat tire about every 300 miles but that was just a fact of life. You fixed it and tried to make Santa Rosa by midnight. Those were the days.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I could babble on for hours about the charms of Route 66 and the highway's influence on our mid-century culture, but disk space is running out. It's time to get your kicks on Route 66!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> If you've got a SuperCPU, crank it up. You'll be travelling too fast to read the signs, but there's not a highway patrolman alive who can keep up with you. Eat my dust, coppers!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And watch out for that meteorite!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Back here in 2015. I don't think there's any way to get the songs on the radio in the program to sound good through the emulator (even at 100% speed), but here are a couple of songs programmed by Dave Marquis that show off what the C-64 can do. Dave, a Floridian, did about 80% of our music for several years.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> And guess what! Tomorrow night I actually have a real, honest-to-gosh puzzle program that's clever (I didn't make it up), well-designed, well-programmed and has just the right amount of solvability. It's a damn good program called ELEVATOR MUSIC. Well, actually the music is pretty horrible, but you can turn it off.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This is another program that does little more than allow you to move a cursor around a screen. At least the screen has some Print Shop images of the presidents -- and there are two screens of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I was learning how to use tools better; tools that were written by Jeff or Scott or another assembly programmer who would send them in to us. I also was learning the architecture of the C-64 and the Read It below shows how the program is laid out in memory. There are 256 pages in a C-6 and each page has 256 bytes, give or take a few. Organizing all the tools and data can be challenging. Don't be surprised if I lay out "memory maps" in future Read Its. One of the main goals of LOADSTAR was to show readers how to program in BASIC.</span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Graphics by Paul Arsenault</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span> <span> </span>We all
know what George Washington and Abraham Lincoln looked like — we carry pictures
of them around in our wallets or purses. Some of us even know what Ulysses S.
Grant looked like. And try as we may, we’ll never forget Nixon, Carter, Ford,
Reagan and Bush, since they show up on the tube from time to time. But what about
the dashing Millard Fillmore, or that handsome devil, Warren G. Harding? Well,
thanks to Paul Arsenault and a host of LOADSTAR routines, we can learn to
recognize all of the forty Presidents of the United States. It may come in
handy should you ever find a picture of Grover Cleveland in your pocket.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The program is straightforward. There are two
hi-res screens with portraits of the presidents on them, in the order in which
they served. Imagine them as side by side, ten across and four down. If you
move “off” the screen, you’ll go to the other picture. Move the cursor from
face to face and press RETURN to see some information about the man under the
cursor. If you want the president’s name displayed as you move around you can
press SPACE. Press SPACE again to turn off the name display.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The information that’s shown when you press
RETURN includes the president’s name, birth and death dates, years of service,
state, party, wife’s maiden name and a rather dubious nickname. I used the 1989
Information Please Almanac for most of the data. As a journalist, I’m afraid I
cannot reveal the source of the nicknames. <i>2015
hint: Knees Calhoon.</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>After you have studied the information a bit,
you may want to test yourself. Press T and you’ll go to the test mode. Here
you’ll be asked to choose a particular president according to the information
given. The president’s wife’s name, his state, or his nickname will be shown.
You then go back to the presidents’ screens where you are to try to pick the
president. Try to answer ten correctly before you answer ten wrong. You may
press Q at anytime to exit the test mode. You can tell if you’re in the test
mode — there’ll be a little “T” in the bottom right corner of the screen.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>The program uses Dave Johannsen’s MR JOYSTICK
(from LOADSTAR #76) so you can use a joystick in either port rather than the
cursor keys. Press the firebutton in place of RETURN.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Press Q to return to LOADSTAR.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>That’s all there is to it. It’s no big deal.
I found it to be a learning experience putting this simple program together,
not only because I learned what the presidents looked like, but because of the
many ML routines I had to juggle to get the program to work.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Look at lines 20 - 102 where I load in all of
the stuff. The important numbers are POKEd into 782. These are the high bytes
of the locations of each of the ML routines. A tip for BASIC programmers who
want to use some of the great ML routines we’ve published — whenever possible,
keep the low byte at zero. If you think in hex (and you should), this means that
you’re using addresses like $9C00, $C400, etc. The last two digits are 00.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Here is a memory map of the program’s routines,
in terms of the high bytes. You can think of these as “pages” in a 256-page
book.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>INPUT ANY.O - Reads a PETASCII file and puts
it into strings for easy BASIC handling. The cassette buffer doesn’t begin at
the beginning of a “page”. The high byte is 3 and the low byte is 60. In hex,
$033C.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>MR JOYSTICK - Allows me to use two simple
SYSes to activate the joystick. It saves a LOT of code, and works better than
BASIC.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>EXEC FONT - This is only half of a font. The
reversed half of the font isn’t needed by SCRIPTER.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>SCRIPTER - This great routine allows me to
print on a hi-res screen. Check out BITS on this issue for details.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>UNPACKER.89 - Takes a packed hi-res (or
multi-color) picture from disk and displays it with only three POKEs and a SYS.
See line 40 for pic1 and line 60 for pic 2. This also saves a lot of code and
headaches. Each packed file was loaded into 100 - 130 and unpacked into the
locations above. Then the 100 area can be used by BASIC — its work is done.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>I’ve never worked with hi-res screens much
before and I found that by using the tools we’ve published, it wasn’t too
difficult. I also developed an appreciation for the cleverness of C-64
programmers who program games and other graphic-intensive programs in the relatively
small 64K we have to work with.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Whenever I look at IBM disks with their programs
that take up 256K+ (and don’t really do more than our programs) I get the
feeling that maybe some IBM programmers have gotten lazy and extravagant in
their techniques. Or maybe it’s just the nature of the IBM beast.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I promise the programs will get interesting sooner or later. This one is a simple menu of abbreviations and terms you might find on a prescription. If you aren't sure what is being said between your doctor and your pharmacist, it could come in handy. I think I might have written the program as an example of how to do a pre-mouse menu.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I usually try out these programs in VICE before supplying you with the .d81 file that has that issue's programs on it. But I couldn't get the <i>Prescription Translator</i> to work from the .d81 file. So I tried SnapShotting the file and it worked with VICE. If you use VICE, download the .vsf file and attach it as a SnapShot file.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Here is the Read It from 1990, pointing out the fact that I knew I was 100% in charge, since no one in the company ever looked at LOADSTAR. I could say whatever I wanted! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The powers-that-be here at SOFTDISK had a big
meeting the other day to discuss spelling checkers. They asked me which one I
used and I answered, “None. Can’t you tell?” Of course they couldn’t know,
since no one here ever reads LOADSTAR except Jeff, Scott and me.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">My answer was sort of facetious since I consider
myself a pretty good speller and I don’t think too many typos get past us. (My
most embarrassing error was on a recent LOADSTAR 128 disk where I spelled the
French word “voila” as “viola”. My face is properly red, but then even the most
sophisticated spell checker in the world wouldn’t have caught that one!)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Last issue a few of my editorial comments
bordered on being anti-progress and a few of the beta testers pointed this out,
so let me make it clear that I consider spell checkers a great boon for
mankind. If I had one that worked with Edstar, LOADSTAR’s pet text editor, I’d
probably use it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">However, spell checking doesn’t go far enough
yet. I’m waiting for the next leap forward, the fact checker. Maybe when CD
ROMs take over and complete encyclopedias are put on one CD, your computer will
be able to check your writing for factual errors. Some of us may be shocked to
see a whole screen full of reversed words, or worse, maybe the whole document
will be reversed!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The first time I ever heard of a fact checker
was in Jay McInerney’s book, “Bright Lights, Big City”. Apparently the big guys
in the publishing field (THE NEW YORKER, SATURDAY REVIEW, even TIME!) hire
Michael J. Foxish yuppies to check every sentence published in their magazines
for accuracy. This definitely sounds like a job for a computer.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In order to keep LOADSTAR abreast of the big
guys I splurged and bought a book called “The New York Public Library DESK
REFERENCE”. It was cheaper than a yuppie. It’s supposed to have everything a
writer needs to keep his drivel factual, if not interesting. I haven’t been
through it all yet, but it looks pretty good. One of the charts had some information
that I found quite useful, and maybe you will, too. I’ve written it up in a Run
It program for this Diskovery. It’s a program that translates the cryptic
prescriptions that doctors write to pharmacists. You see, it’s not only bad
handwriting that distinguishes doctor’s writing; there’s also a code involved.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A disclaimer: the information in the Run It
file is strictly that — information. I offer no medical advice whatsoever. I
just happen to like knowing what my doctor is saying about me to my pharmacist.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 12.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Of course, you can always look at my code to
see how easy it is to do menus of this sort. I use SCREEN SWITCHER 1990 to
simulate windows and allow the menu to pop back in place, without having to be
rePRINTed. The custom character set makes possible the little graphic symbols
that doctors use.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2015 here. I'm afraid tomorrow night is another woofer of a program. It's called <i>Chief Execututor</i> and it's mainly a way to show off some Print Shop images of the US presidents that we had. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For some reason almost two years went by at LOADSTAR before I had another program (on LOADSTAR #72). It might have been LOADSTAR 128 taking up my time; it might have been that I was learning how to program better and use the programming tools we were publishing. Jeff Jones and Scott Resh had come on board and Jeff was teaching himself assembly language, which Scott was a wizard at. I remained the BASIC programmer.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I just looked at the program and it asks if you want to generate some 5x5 magic squares or read a tutorial that explains how they're made. The Read It below gives you an algorithm for making 5x5 squares, but it's completely different from the one used by the program. I don't know why I did it that way, but you get two algorithms for the price of one. The <i>staircase method</i> (below) is probably the easiest to remember and dazzle your friends with. Ask them to make a 5x5 square where every row, column and diagonal adds up to the same number and it's doubtful they'll be able to do it. But memorize the sequence below and you can come up with as many as you want while they watch.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I remember the first time I heard of Magic Squares
and how they’re made. It was in a child’s puzzle book and the problem was to
take the numbers from 1 through 9 and place them on a Tic-Tac-Toe grid so that
each possible Tic-Tac-Toe added up to the same number, 15. Three rows, three
columns and two diagonals.</span></span></div>

Magic Squares (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, etc.) until I picked up a book by Jim Moran
called THE WONDERS OF MAGIC SQUARES. It seemed impossibly complex at first, but
it soon began to sink in and before long I was saying “Aha!” on practically
every page.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Magic Squares, and how to make them, have
been studied by mathematicians and puzzlers for more than 2000 years. They
wanted “algorithms”, or step-by-step methods, for constructing them. Moran’s
book lists fifteen or so methods, one of which I adapted for the Run It program
for this feature.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>The earliest mention of Magic Squares was in
China and India, where they were often carved on stone houses, or on pendants
and amulets. “Magic” is a very good name for these squares, at least in a
historical sense.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Benjamin Franklin was a Magic Square freak,
and often bragged that he could construct 8x8’s as fast as he could write the
64 numbers. Obviously, he knew an algorithm or two.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Generally, Magic Squares are divided into two
categories, odd-order and even-order. I’m going to talk about odd-order squares
(3x3, 5x5, 7x7, 9x9, etc.) only, because their algorithms will work for any
size, while even-order squares require different algorithms, depending on their
size.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Each size of square has a constant, which is
the number that all rows, columns and diagonals add up to. The formula for this
constant is</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Constant = (n * (n*n+1))/2</span></span></span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>One Magic Square is actually four if you
think about it, since you can simply rotate the whole square three times. But
there are also many other ways to completely rearrange the numbers to form
totally new squares. Would you believe that there are an estimated 275 MILLION
(!) possible 5x5 squares?</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>The algorithm used in the Run It program is a
fairly sophisticated method, developed by Jim Moran. It’s based on an early
method that involves constructing two squares that aren’t magical, then adding
them together to make a square that is. Run the program to see this method explained.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Most of the other methods involve what is
known as the “staircase method”. This method will create one Magic Square,
which can be changed into other squares by a little manipulation, such as rotation.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>The first question is, “Where do I put 2?
Upwards to the right of 1 is off the grid!” This is what you do. Whenever a box
you want to go to is off the grid, imagine that there’s another grid right next
to the main one. In the rules above, 2 would be placed in the 5th row, 4th
column of that imaginary grid. Instead, place the number 2 in the 5th row, 4th
column of your main grid. If it’s blocked, then follow rule (3).</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>This means that 2 goes in row 5, column 4; 3
goes in row 4, column 5; 4 goes in row 3, column 1, etc. Here is the final grid
constructed by this method.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Notice that in both of the squares we’ve
made, there is a pattern formed by numbers that add up to 26. Number 1 is
diametrically OPPOSITE to 25. 2 is OPPOSITE to 24. 3 is OPPOSITE to 23, and so
on.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Another way of looking at this is that a
Magic Square is “balanced”. If we were to place weights corresponding to the
numbers in each box and attach a chain to the middle of the middle box, we
could lift the whole square and it would balance about that point. This is only
true for squares made with the “staircase” method.</span></span></span></div>

variations on a square, once you’ve made it (besides rotation).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>I heartily recommend Jim Moran’s book, THE
WONDERS OF MAGIC SQUARES, published by Vintage Books, a subsidiary of Random

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Back to 2015. I think a program that generates thousands of magic squares is pretty neat. It shows what a computer is good at if programmed correctly. But I can imagine you wondering if I will ever get to any really useful programs in this project.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>The answer is no. I never programmed anything you might call useful. But please stick with me and I think you will find some very interesting stuff coming up. I was a puzzle magazine nut in those days and the C-64 was the perfect platform for turning pencil puzzles into interactive, ego-less, record-keeping tools for solving, or in some cases, generating puzzles. Really! It gets better.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In fact, tomorrow night's program could be considered useful if you are like me and take a half dozen pills every morning and night. Tune in and drop out.</span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm taking a night off of the LOADSTAR project. Instead, here is an old song from The Band that I've always liked, even though I can't sing it like Richard Manuel. Who can?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was my programming masterpiece. I had done <i>Murder in the Museum</i> as a warm-up and this was the mys-adventure game that would put me on the map. I used every one of the 38911 bytes available to me (plus all the memory under the ROMs) to make what I thought was the computer equivalent of a novel that was big at the time, Umberto Eco's THE NAME OF THE ROSE.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Well, it's doubtful the game has actually been solved by anyone, but luckily I got inspired back in 1993 and wrote out the possible actions of the game in novelette format. More on that later.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Last night when you, Claude La Mort of the
Surete, went to sleep, you were looking forward to the next night, Hallowe’en
1963, when scores of cheerful youngsters would knock at your door demanding “Le
trique ou la treat!” How could you have known that you would be spending the
next night (and perhaps the rest of your life) mired in the dark recesses of
the Abbey of St. Isosceles, vainly looking for clues to the murder of the
saintly leader of the Abbey, Abbot Costello?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> That’s right! That master of
sleuths, Inspector La Mort, is back, and you are he! You’d think that after the
Museum debacle, evildoers would have the sense to mend their ways, but nooooo.
They are still out there and only La Mort stands between their heinous
skullduggery and the righteous lives of us average joes.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Can you find the Abbot’s murderer before the
Five Bells of St. Dapiacle ring in the new morn? Will there even <i>be</i> a new morn?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> All of the conventions you learned in MURDER
IN THE MUSEUM (on LOADSTAR #44) apply, and a few more are added. You can enter
HELP at any time to see the commands available to you. There are only a few
commands necessary to get around the Abbey. The emphasis is on deciphering the
knowledge you gain rather than coming up with a particular verb or noun to
enter. There is now a brief/verbose option. After you’ve seen all of the room
descriptions enough to feel comfortable, you can enter BRIEF and the game will
be super-fast.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Make sure you make a map of the Library, if
you can. The map of the Abbey proper is given to you. MURDER IN THE MONASTERY
is a mys-adventure for intermediate-level adventurers. The plot involves a dark
secret that threatens to demolish western civilization as we know it. Parents
may wish to keep tabs on their impressionable, young detectives to insure that
they understand that it’s only a game.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The designer of the MURDER IN THE MONASTERY
is a certifiable fiend, so if you find yourself stuck with a particular
problem, simply BOJY FQKT AONY, SQDYT EQDC, HCBYTU BHEY 1 OCE VGOE OCE TKC
“NQCO”. That’s all there is to it! By the way, the fiend says that O equals A.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> NOTE: Since there is only one block free on

onto another disk before saving a game.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">EDITOR’s DISK CLAIMER: The author, when
questioned about the subject matter of the mys-adventure, replied, “I was
merely following the age-old writer’s dictum, ‘Write about what you know’. As a
veteran of eight years under the iron thumbs of various nuns and priests, I
know the horrors of parochialism as practiced in the 50’s. To be fair, though,
the school I attended was nothing like the ABBEY OF ST ISOSCELES. There were no
Sister Debbies.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">”</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back to 2015. I can't believe I made my hint to the user in the form of a cryptogram. A cryptogram that I can't solve. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">H</span>ere's today's hint: don't bother with this version of the game, wait for the annotated versions of <i>Museum</i> and <i>Monastery</i> when they're done for <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">LOADSTAR 128.</span></span></span></span><br />

Here are three versions of it. One of them should be readable on some device you have.</span></span></span></span><br />

It shows that I had programmed <i>Monastery</i> as early as 1984, and I did it all with a Datasette! Apparently I didn't buy my first disk drive (a 1541 5.25in drive) until later. The Datasette used audio-cassete tapes (remember them?) to store the data and it took up to 20 minutes to save, or load, a program the size of <i>Monastery</i>. Can you imagine waiting 20 minutes every time you wanted to load or save your work? There was no "multi-tasking".</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I had given a book review of THE NAME OF THE ROSE at the Thomas Brannigan Library and mentioned that I had written a computer game sort of based on it. I guess the word got round to the <i>Sun-News</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The first six programs in this LOADSTAR project were published in the first issues I was in charge of, #44 through 48. Then a couple of years went by without my writing any new programs. Why the hiatus? I think part of it was due to LOADSTAR 128 starting up during that period. It was a brand new magazine, published 4 times a year for the Commodore 128 computer. Mike Maynard and Jim Row were the Commodore programmers when I began and I believe Mike started the 128 magazine's "operating system". Later, Jeff Jones and Scott Resh joined the team as Mike and Jim left.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Here's the deal. At the very first meeting I went to at Softdisk (the first business meeting I'd ever attended) Al Vekovius, the CEO, named all of the branches and gave a short resume of how they were doing. When he got to the LOADSTAR (Commodore) branch he said, "In general, the Commodore field is failing, and LOADSTAR will be a smaller part of Softdisk in the future." It was quite a peptalk for the new kid. But ironically all the other magazines were gone by 1994 and Judi and I kept LOADSTAR going until 2000.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So I think tomorrow night I'll take a break from the LOADSTAR project, and instead have an old song by The Band. I'll return Friday with more than you'll ever want to know about MAGIC SQUARES. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin could write down a new 7x7 magic square anytime he wanted? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I was settling in as managing editor at LOADSTAR by the time issue #47 was published, and was publishing some of the old programs I'd started in Las Cruces. Pentominoes was a puzzle game I'd been introduced to in Arthur C. Clarke's novel IMPERIAL EARTH.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Note: See how my memory works? Yesterday I was sure that I got pentominoes from an Isaac Asimov novel. After reading the Read It for Pento, I see that it was Arthur C. Clarke. I'm not really working too far ahead in this project. I'm re-discovering all these things <i>as</i> I introduce them to you.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> In the early 80s I was living in Las Cruces and playing with the Calhoon Brothers but we didn't have a steady gig like we had in the late 70s. Sometimes we'd only play one or two nights a week and I had time on my hands. So I got into the concept of pentominoes and came up with a board that would allow you to solve the puzzle using substantial tiles rather than pieces of cardboard or whatever. More about that later. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are some things in this great universe of ours that are the same no matter where you are. Counting numbers, the Platonic solids, pi, the gravitational constant, the speed of light, the age of Jack Benny — all of these remain constant throughout the universe. To this illustrious list you can add pentominoes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That’s right, pentominoes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you take two squares and glue them together, you come up with a domino. Three squares will give you a tromino (or triomino). Five squares glued together will produce a pentomino. How many distinct ways can you glue five squares together? No cheating — stick to one plane.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let’s see, you can have five squares in a line. Or four squares in a line and one square off to the side of one of the end squares. How about four squares in a line and one square off to the side of one of the middle squares? Then there’s three in a line and two stuck off to the side. See how many you can find before turning the page. No matter how many you come up with, there are twelve and only twelve. Here they are.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note: I couldn't get this part of the Read It to show properly in the blog, so here is a screen shot from the Commodore itself showing the twelve ways to adjoin 5 squares. The shapes are named I, L, Y and N (top row), then T, V, U, P (middle row), followed by X, F, W and Z (bottom row).</span></i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Each pentomino has its own distinct shape and characteristics (and is named by a letter of the alphabet that most closely resembles it). There are a lot of things you can do with pentominoes and this game, PENTO, is only one of them. You can play against the computer or against a fellow human. Since the computer plays completely without intelligence, the best games will be against a friend, but I think you’ll find the computer beating you more often than is comfortable.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The ‘board’ is a typical 8 x 8 checkerboard. The players take turns playing a pentomino on the board. The last person able to play a piece on the board is the winner. That’s about all there is to it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are on-screen prompts and instructions to help you move the pentominoes onto the board. Remember that each piece can be rotated and flipped. Decide where you want the white square of the pentomino placed and enter that number. For instance, ‘38’ would be the third row, eighth column. If you change your mind about playing a certain piece after choosing it, simply rotate (by pressing ‘R’) the piece until the piece removes itself from the board and you are prompted for another piece.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Press RETURN when you are satisfied with your move.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">PENTO doesn’t recognize when the game is over. You can press F1 anytime and you’ll be asked if you want to play again or quit to LOADSTAR. When there are no more moves left press F1 to end the game.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The only real strategy I’ve been able to come up with is rather obvious — always make sure that there are an even number of plays left AFTER you make your play. This roughly translates into: always make sure there are an even number of ‘areas’ left AFTER you make your play.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is an excellent book on pentominoes called ‘Polyominoes’, by Solomon Goloumb of the University of Southern California. I first learned about pentominoes from Arthur C. Clarke’s <i>Imperial Earth</i>. Both of these are terrific reading.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The task described in <i>Imperial Earth</i> is to place all twelve pentominoes in a 6x10 rectangle. I must humbly admit that I am an expert at this task and have personally found (without aid of computer) over 1000 of the 2339 possible solutions. I have them charted and would happy to share my information with any fellow pento-freaks out there.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Write to me, Fender Tucker, care of LOADSTAR. Jim Butterfield wrote an ML program that ‘solves’ the 6x10 puzzle, but it takes several hours to find even one. It’s sort of inspirational to know that there are tasks that my feeble human brain performs thousands of times faster and better than a Butterfield ML program.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back here in 2015. Now that we have a mouse to move things around, the system I came up with for PENTO is hilariously complicated. A few years later, I had C.E. "Spock" Prince, a young guy from Shreveport who came to work for Softdisk, write a much better version of PENTO for LOADSTAR. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The programming in this game illustrates something that I imagine all professional programmers might agree with: as you get better, it all gets simpler. The logic I came up with for this game (one of my first) is incredibly complicated. I'm sure I couldn't understand it if my 40-year-old self tried to explain it to the 68-year-old I am today. But it didn't have to be complicated! Later on I learned techniques and algorithms that make a game like this quite simple. I guess my recommendation to programmers is to spend 10 years studying algorithms, <i>then</i> start writing code, rather than the way I did it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I still have some of the pentominoes boards I made back in the early 80s out of bathroom tiles and Super Glue. The boards were made from masonite with a velour cover. Here's my masterpiece, with little snakes drawn on each tile.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Before I get into the joke that is <i>Computer Juicer</i>, let me take you back to the world of 1984. If you had a home computer, it was probably an Apple IIe, a Commodore 64, an Atari or a DOS PC. The Mac and the Amiga were coming up on the horizon but hadn't ridden into town yet. You had paper magazines with pages and pages of "program listings" that, if you wanted to use the program, you were expected to type in the whole thing <i>without error. </i>There were a few commercial programs on the market but basically in the 80s you were expected to type in the ones you wanted from magazines.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Then along comes Jim Mangham, a guy from Shreveport LA who worked in a bank. He got the idea of doing all the typing himself and supplying the programs on disk through the mail. You'd subscribe, just as if it were a paper magazine, but you'd get a disk in the mail each month -- a disk you could run in your computer. In early 1981 he and his wife, Judi, started <i>Softdisk</i>, a "magazine-on-disk" for the Apple computer. Al Vekovius, a dean of mathematics at the local LSU branch, joined them soon after as partner.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Early hires were Dan Tobias, from Carnegie-Mellon University, and Jim Weiler, from DeVries. In 1984 a new magazine-on-disk was launched for the Commodore 64 computer, LOADSTAR. How do I know this? Because I have a bunch of newsletters that Dan Tobias wrote starting in 1987 and in them is a "History of Softdisk" that continues up through 1989. I had forgotten I had it, but now I can be more accurate with dates. Here is page 2 of the first Soft Talk newsletter, dated September 1, 1987, with my first mention. So I must have started in August.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I plan to have much more history in coming nights, but for now let's get to <i>Computer Juicer. </i>I knew from looking at the 43 issues done before me that the April issue was the "April Fools" issue. This didn't cheer me up much because (1) I didn't find traditional computer humor all that funny, and (2) we didn't have any "April Fools" material ready. But I figured we had to have at least one gag and I came up with <i>Computer Juicer</i>. It didn't <i>do</i> anything; it was just a big menu on a screen, with a ridiculous Read It.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Now that you’ve balanced your checkbook, burglar-
proofed your home, written your novel, and catalogued your stocks, bonds and
friends, you might find yourself wondering, “Just what else will my C64 do?”</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Well, believe me, there’s plenty more, and
this month we’ll find out about a little-known feature of the 1541 disk drive.
First, let’s go over the basics.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Have you ever wondered what makes your disks
turn around in the drive? That’s right, a motor. And have you ever sat back and
realized that the heart of any food processor, from the lowly Mr. Meatsauce
from K-Mart to the finest Parisian Cuisinart, is nothing more than . . . you
guessed it, a motor!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>So all that’s needed to turn your 1541 (or
1571 in burst mode) into a computer juicer is clever software and a few
utensils found in any kitchen. A NOTE OF WARNING: Do not attempt to run the
program until you have read the following directions very carefully.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Let’s first gather up the things we’ll need.
As a demonstration we’ll learn how to make one of my favorite beverages, Spam
Juice. You’ll need:</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>3 tbsp olive oil (or substitute)</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>You should also have a butter knife, a 24 oz
pitcher and a supply of towels.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Have you ever noticed those louver-like slots
at the back of the disk drive? Those are mainly for ventilation, but we’ll use
them as slicers for the food before it gets to the processing action of the
motor.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Simply run the program from the LOADSTAR menu
and at the first screen tell COMPUTER JUICER which speed you want. For Spam
Juice, we’ll start with the tomato and condensed milk so you should choose M
for MIX.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>IMPORTANT! Remove the disk from the drive.
Serious damage to the disk could result from pouring condensed milk into the
drive with the disk inserted.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>First, position the pitcher directly underneath
the disk slot on the front of the drive. Place towels over items in the room
that may react unfavorably with any of the ingredients.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Press F1 to start and you’ll hear the motor
begin its action. Gently push the tomato <i>through</i>
the slots at the back of your drive. You may want to peel the tomato. Then pour
the condensed milk into the slots. When the liquid stops flowing into the
pitcher, press SPACE to return to the menu screen.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span>Now it’s time for the olive oil and Spam.
Press P for PUREE and then slowly, yet inexorably, push the Spam through the
slots. For best results pour in the olive oil <i>after</i> the Spam has been processed. If the Spam is not fresh, you
may need to pour in half of the oil <i>before</i>
the Spam is pureed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">

it, Mike Maynard and Jim Row advised me against running it
on LOADSTAR. They said that there would be at least one or two customers who would
not recognize it was an April Fools spoof, and we’d get some hot
complaints. Well, I decided to go with it and there were no complaints. No comments
of any sort. I breathed a sign of relief and was glad I didn’t run it by Al
Vekovius or Jim Mangham, who would have undoubtedly told me not to include it. Why take a chance?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This must have been a program I started before I got the job at LOADSTAR and finished in time for my second full issue, LOADSTAR #45. It's obviously inspired by the Bowl-A-Score puzzles in variety puzzle magazines where you look for the 10-letter word among the letters arranged in a bowling triangle. Then you look for shorter words using the same 10 letters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What impresses me 20 years later is that I had the gumption to thumb through every page in my Winston Simplified Dictionary, 1932 edition, looking for 10-letter words. I was one dedicated editor in those days.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the world of Big League Word Bowling!
If you’ve been keeping up with your vocabulary and anagramming skills you may
get that 300 game you’ve been pining for all these years. I finally did, and
when I told the guys in my bowling league, they all said “Big deal.” But what
do they know?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">WORD BOWL is a game for all ages. There are
seven levels, determined by the length of the words that are to be anagrammed.
So if you are a college graduate and you want to challenge your daughter, who’s
in the third grade, you play with the eight- or nine-letter words and have her
play with the four- or five-letter words. Highest score wins. You don’t really
play each other at the same time, you’re actually playing one at a time against
yourselves, trying for the highest scores. WORD BOWL takes into account the level
you’re on and handicaps appropriately.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first thing you do is choose the length
of the words you’ll be working with. You may choose any number between four and
ten. The next mini-menu will ask if you want to play the game, or add to the
word list. I’ve supplied each level with a hundred words; you will probably
want to add words of your own, but more on that later. Choose “play the game”.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next screen will show your scorecard at
the top, the pins (in the form of letters) to the left, and in the bottom
middle will be the cursor, waiting for you to type in the word that the pins
represent when unscrambled. At the very bottom are listed the functions of some
of the F-keys.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you can figure out the word that’s scrambled,
enter it and press RETURN. If you’re right, you’ll get a strike in Frame #1.
You’re on your way to a 300 game! If you can’t figure it out and would like a
clue, position the cursor over the blank whose letter you want revealed and
press F1.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You’ll be shown the letter, but now you can
only make a spare if you guess the word. There is an indicator in the frame of
the scorecard that tells you the score you’re shooting for in that frame. If
you need another letter revealed, press F1 again and you’ll be trying to get a
“9” in that frame. In order to get a 300 game you have to guess all ten words
without pressing F1 even once. If you guess wrong, you’ll lose a pin for that
frame.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your final score won’t be tallied up until
you have finished with Frame #10. Here’s how the scoring goes. The program assumes
that a spare is made by knocking down nine pins on the first throw, then
picking up the last pin on the next. If you bowl a strike or spare in the tenth
frame, you’ll automatically strike out. Too bad it’s not like that in real
bowling! Other than that, the scoring is the same as PBA scoring.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">NOTE: The lowest score you can make in a
frame is equal to eleven minus the level number, so it is possible to score as
low as ten if you’re on level ten. On level five the lowest score possible is
sixty.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can see the All-Time Top scores at any
time by pressing F3. Maybe your name will be on it? Press any key to return to
the game in progress. F7 will show you a shorter version of these instructions.
Again, press any key to get back to bowling. F8 will give you the option of
playing another game at the same level, returning to the main menu for choosing
another level or entering some of your own words, or exiting LOADSTAR.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Each level has 100 words except for level
ten, which has over 300. I spent the worst part of a bad night thumbing page by
page through my cheap dictionary entering in every ten-letter word I could
find. I think I got them all, except for plurals of nine-letter words. Word
Bowl doesn’t use plural words.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">By the way, this is an excellent way to increase
your word power. After entering in all of those ten-letter words, I can now
usually score 300 on level ten. For a real challenge I try level eight or nine.
I also found that I now know the definition of all of English’s ten-letter
words. For what that’s worth!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To enter in words of your own, first choose
the level from the main menu. Then choose “add to the word list”. After the
file is loaded you’ll see that the program is waiting for you to enter a word.
If you enter an “L” then RETURN, the current list of words will be printed on

will pause it also. When you have seen the whole list press any key and you’ll
be ready to enter some words of your own.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since WORD BOWL does not recognize anagrams
of the word you enter, it’s a good idea to stay away from words that can be anagrammed
two or more ways. For instance, if you enter the word “verse” then later, while
playing the game, you’ll be mad when the program says “sorry” when you guess
“sever”. It’s not always easy to see if a word can be anagrammed into another
word, but it’s worth your time and may save you and your friends some
frustration later.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When you have entered as many words as you
want, you can enter “M” or simply press RETURN without entering anything and
you will be prompted to save the list. If you don’t save it, your new words
will be lost.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some of the eight- and nine-letter words in
the files are fairly high-falutin’, and most of the ten-letter words are, but
use them in your day-to-day conversations anyway; it may increase your league
average.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back to 2015. If you do try running these programs in an emulator, here's a caveat: saving to a PC's hard drive may not be the same as saving to a Commodore disk. In other words, some of the "save to disk" features of my programs may not work in an emulator on a PC. Please don't get mad. My life in programming was interesting but ultimately trivial. Nothing you'll find in my LOADSTAR programs is important enough to give rise to anger, as you'll see in tomorrow night's program from the April 1988 issue of LOADSTAR: a little morsel called COMPUTER JUICER.<i><br /></i></span></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Welcome back to the second installment in the 50-or so-part series, <i>Knees Calhoon: the LOADSTAR Years</i>. I started as managing editor in September 1987 and LOADSTAR #43 was the first issue published with me on the masthead, although I had little to do with putting it together. It was with #44 that I took over, selecting which programs would go on the issue, and of course I had to have <i>Murder in the Museum</i> featured. I had worked on the damn thing for almost all of 1986!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I was vaguely familiar with text adventure games and had played a little of the original Adventure game ("You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.") when I wrote it, but I knew very little about programming BASIC. I started it on the VIC-20 and ran out of memory, so when I got a C-64 I really embellished the game, but that just allowed me to add even more naive and inefficient programming. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Back then Softdisk had an excellent art department and one day Jerry Jones, the photographer, Dan Tobias, a fellow PC programmer, and I went to a local Shreveport museum and took the cover picture. That was probably the last time I was beardless. Dan was the mummy.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I re-did <i>Murder in the Museum</i> (as well as <i>Murder in the Monastery</i>) a few years later for the C-128 mode and both programs are much better. It's hard to imagine anyone in 2015 having the time, the stamina or the attention span to "solve" the mystery in this game. Back in the 80s I guess we weren't so rushed.</span></span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Professor Plum, the curator of the world-famous Calhoon Museum, has been murdered! His lifeless body was found in the Dome Room of the Museum and, so far, no clues to the killer have been found. You, Inspector Claude la Mort of the Surete, have been assigned to the Plum case in the forlorn hope that you may be able to find the culprit before there are more grisly deaths, especially yours.<br /> As you move from room to room you will see exhibits that have entertained school-children and adults alike for years, but now they cast a more sinister shadow, because they are all potential clues. You would be well-advised to examine everything you can and make a map of the Museum as you explore.<br /> MURDER IN THE MUSEUM is written in the classic Scott Adams’ style. The program expects a two-word command in the form, VERB NOUN. Unlike many adventure games that have gigantic vocabularies and require you to try many different actions to succeed, this program requires little imagination to get around and do things. It’s how you assimilate all the information you gather that determines whether you go back to France a national hero or a Gallic goat.<br /> At any time in the adventure you may enter the word “help” and a couple of instruction screens will explain the syntax of the accepted commands. There are two handy commands, LOAD and SAVE. If you are getting ready to do something potentially dangerous, or if you want to quit for the day, enter the word SAVE. After entering any name as a filename your status and inventory will be saved to disk under that name. When you resume your game enter LOAD and at the prompt enter the name you saved the game as, and you will be back where you were before.<br /> MURDER IN THE MUSEUM is an intermediate level adventure. Truly expert adventurers may solve it in a single sitting, but they should be forewarned; each time the game is played, a different suspect may be the actual killer. I’m afraid the principals of the Calhoon Museum are a rather unsavory lot, at least some of the time.<br /> The scenario takes place in the fall of 1963, a time of turmoil for the world at large, as well as for you, Inspector la Mort of the Surete.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Back to 2015. When I wrote the game on the Vic-20 my detective was Inspector Claude La Merde of the Surete. I sent a copy to Commodore guru Jim Butterfield (sometime in 1986) and he replied in detail -- not about the game, but about the proper French syntax for "La Merde". It should be "le Merde" I believe he argued. In any case, when I decided to publish the game on LOADSTAR I changed it to the more politically correct "La Mort". Is the L capitalized? Who knows?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">CREEPING CHROMOSOMES</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> There have been several computer programs that simulate the growth of organisms in particular environments. Known as "life" games, these programs most often use an algorithm based on the reproduction of cells in a bacteria colony.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> You can think of CREEPING CHROMOSOMES as a light-hearted version of the game of "life." But while you might recognize the chromosomes and amino acids from what you've learned in biology class, we don't pretend that CREEPING CHROMOSOMES is a realistic simulation of how chromosomes behave in real life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> But hopefully, you will find a (scientific) method to our madness. CREEPING CHROMOSOMES gives you a chance to perform experiments in controlled evolution. Your goal: develop chromosomes with the best chances of survival in a predetermined environment.<b> </b>The chromosomes you deal with in CREEPING CHROMOSOMES compete with one another for survival. Two traits determine the success of a chromosome: curiosity and strength. "Curiosity" is important because it determines the mobility of the chromosomes. Mobile chromosomes are more likely to bump into the amino acids that the chromosomes need to replicate and grow. Strength is important because if a strong chromosome touches a weaker one with its "head," the weaker one is killed. As you may have guessed, the traits of curiosity and strength are inversely related. In other words, as curiosity increases, strength decreases, and vice versa. It's your job to find the combination of traits that is best for survival.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> In your experiment, you endow a number of chromosomes (1-15) with varying degrees of curiosity and strength. The program then places the chromosomes, which are color coded, in a "tank" containing eight amino acids. A score board at the bottom of the screen keeps up with how well each chromosome does. When all but one chromosome has died, the screen's border color will be the same color as the victorious chromosome's. A double "waffle" will appear where the last chromosome died. Then, after you press a key, you can choose whether or not you want to save the scores for the next experiment. If you do, the next experiment will continue adding to the original scores.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> A Few Definitions...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Within every cell nucleus of your body, threadlike CHROMOSOMES contain heredity information in the form of GENES. Genes, which appear as light and dark bandings on the chromosome, are in fact segments of DNA molecules. The double helix of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule carries the coding that determines whether an organism is a human being, a lobster, or an egg plant. DNA controls chemical reactions within cells, and thus controls the growth and function of the entire organism. If all life is based on DNA, why is there such incredible diversity? Think of a DNA molecule as a ladder that is twisted after every four rungs. (Each "rung" of a DNA molecule is made of one of four chemical subunits.) The order of these subunits is different for each living thing. In the 46 human chromosomes, there are approximately four billion rungs. Here's another way to think about it: the number of sequences possible has been calculated to be greater than the number of sub-atomic particles in the universe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HOW THE TOWER CAME TO BE</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I first heard about LOADSTAR soon after I bought a Commodore 64 back in 1984. I had hated computers in general back then because I had to take some computer classes back in the late 70s when I fitfully attended New Mexico State University, majoring in Electronic Technology. A “computer” was a building where I had to take IBM punchcards and wait with a bunch of nerds for the IBM 360 to process them. What a waste of time! I had one of the best jobs of my life at the time, playing guitar in the house band at the Las Cruces Inn, and since computers had nothing to do with my interests, (sex, dope and books), I was happy to have nothing to do with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Then, around 1981, my little brother John bought an Apple and convinced me that they were the greatest little puzzle machine ever invented. With a computer you could invent your own puzzles, program it to present the puzzle without revealing the answer, and then keep score for you afterwards. It was like having a friend with the same interests as you, but without a pesky ego to get in the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I bought the first computer under $100, a Timex Sinclair 1000. I must have been really desperate for an egoless friend because I actually liked it. Then I got a Commodore VIC-20 for about $200 and eventually a Commodore 64 for about $300. I never thought of them as a tool to communicate with or make life more organized—as we think of computers now—but only as something to be programmed. And I never thought that there was any way other than BASIC to program them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I was getting burned out on music in the early 80s. My back was killing me from holding the guitar for five hours a night and the rewards of guitar-picking were dwindling. The babes preferred the young guys with the cocaine more than they did the old, bald guy with the pained look on his face, sitting on the bandstand in between songs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Instead I was spending all my time writing programs and trying to find new techniques. One of my first programs, after learning how to use a custom font on the C-64, was called BATTLE OF THE CHROMOSOMES. It was colorful, catchy-looking, and unpredictable. You set up a screen full of “germs” and let them eat each other until one eventually won. My friend Kathy Delaney would come over and watch TV while I programmed and she was quite familiar with the colorful little squigglies on the screen even though she wasn’t really interested in computers at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Around this time I heard there was a magazine on disk called LOADSTAR which would buy programs from guys like me and publish them. So I sent them BATTLE OF THE CHROMOSOMES—and never heard anything back. No big deal. I was used to playing LODE RUNNER and the text adventure games of Scott Adams and knew my modest little program wasn’t in their league.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> But one day I got a package in the mail while Kathy was there and when I opened it up, it was a plastic “blister-pack” with a LOADSTAR cover and disk inside. And on the cover was a microscope showing my little squigglies! Even Kathy was impressed. It said “CREEPING CHROMOSOMES — Mean genes in a life-like game of genetics”. And my name was on the back cover!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KxL9RDyNcyw/Vc5WEBy6slI/AAAAAAAAAc0/Y4NQzWi2U1Q/s1600/ls031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KxL9RDyNcyw/Vc5WEBy6slI/AAAAAAAAAc0/Y4NQzWi2U1Q/s320/ls031.jpg" width="253" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I wrote LOADSTAR and told them how flattered I was that they used my game, and asked if there might be some payment for the game. There was an embarrassed reply and a check for $100 or so. I honestly can’t remember. I didn’t care about the money. I was a published programmer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So I sent them some more of my games. MURDER IN THE MUSEUM and MURDER IN THE MONASTERY, two text adventure games, as well as a few simple puzzles. I got back a long, long letter from a “Jim Weiler” critiquing everything I sent in detail. He said my games weren’t very good, but that they had something that was sorely lacking in 90% of the stuff submitted to LOADSTAR: imagination. That was good enough for me. I wanted to be a programmer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I also got a letter from someone else at Softdisk, the parent company of LOADSTAR, asking me if I could write some “Alfredo” games for the Commodore, which were quite popular on the Apple IIe computer. A disk was enclosed with some Apple files. I took them to a friend who had an Apple and looked at them. Graphic cartoons—and I knew diddly about graphics. All I knew was the font-manipulating trick I used in CHROMOSOMES.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Then I received a form letter from Softdisk saying they were looking for an Apple editor. I called the company and talked to a man named Al Vekovius, one of the co-owners. I admitted I knew nothing about the Apple, or graphics, but I appreciated his offer. He said they were also looking for a Commodore 64 editor and I started to mumble that I’m afraid I don’t know enough to be an editor, but instead asked, “Hmmm. How much does the job pay?” I had always made about $9K a year playing in the band and lived from week to week as any musician did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Al said, “Oh, $20 thousand a year.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yeeooow! I told him I’d get back to him and, after scrunching up my courage, called Softdisk back saying I’d love to come to work for them as a Commodore editor. I assured them I could do the job. Just as I had assured the US Army that I could type and drive a car when I was drafted back in 1967—and couldn’t.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> They sent me a check to fly out to Shreveport LA for an interview. I was met at the airport by co-owner Jim Mangham and he showed me a little of the town, including a big old house on Gladstone Boulevard in the Highland district that he and his wife, Judi, had just moved into and were fixing up. Al and Jim and Judi, as well as Jim Weiler, took me out to dinner and apparently I answered their questions satisfactorily. Later on I found that they were actually kind of desperate to get someone to take over the Commodore magazine because all of their interests were in the new IBM magazine, BIG BLUE DISK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I said all my goodbyes in Las Cruces and packed my station wagon full of computers and clothes and drove from one of my favorite cities, home of the best Mexican food in the world, across the godawfully large state of Texas to Shreveport, where Taco Bell reigned. I was very nervous about Shreveport because in the 50s my mother and three brothers used to drive through it every summer on our way to visit with my grandparents in Thibodaux LA, deep in Cajun country. Before I-40 was built, US Highway 80 wended its way through the worst parts of Shreveport and we always considered it to be the ugliest city we’d ever seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> But I soon found that it had changed quite a bit from the 50s and was really quite beautiful. Especially the Highland district, where two years later, after Jim and Judi had split up and she and I had married, I joined her in the big old house on Gladstone Boulevard. The house that was to become Ramble House.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Enough! No more history for now! If you want to see the game in action, you have to use an emulator -- at this time. I've heard that browsers are powerful enough to run emulators these days so if I can figure out a way to present the programs so that you just click and play, I will. I just booted VICE (a free download), attached the 031.d81 file, selected "creeping" from the disk directory and the game was on! Other emulators must be just as easy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Unfortunately the interface (the keys you must press to do things) is ridiculous. Of course there was no mouse. This was 1986. Use the - and = keys on your PC to be the minus and plus keys. F1 is F1. We used function keys a LOT on the Commodore. If the program seems to crash, try typing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">run: [ENTER]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Who knows? It might work. With a computer that reboots in 2 seconds, Commodore users are pretty blase about crashes. </span><br />

<b><span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">About 10 or 20 years ago I had an effects module made by a company called ART. Lots of great sounds for my guitar. And at the time I had a Yamaha keyboard that would allow me to play and record a chord pattern (say, two verses of 12-bar blues) and then have that sequence played in any of its 100 or so rhythms. So I recorded a bunch of solos on the guitar, each inspired by a different, almost random, rendition of the blues. Then I glommed them all together in Audacity and made them into a long cacophony of blues. Or something.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is one of my favorite old drinking songs by Dave Guard of the Kingston Trio. Remember them? I tarted it up quite a bit, giving it the kind of atmosphere that all the Viagra makers go for in their TV ads. But this song isn't about sex -- it's about booze.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I sent a link to this song to Ed Gorman and he <span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">said</span>: "Wow,
Fender, that's the best version of that song I've ever heard, Do you ever play
clubs or anything? You should." Ed is the best horror/suspense writer I know (well, maybe along with Bill Pronzini) and it looks like he knows his way around a booze song too.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Do people really want to see 70-year-olds performing music in public? Skip Batchelor says yes and he should know. Here in Mississippi every solo act seems to be into blues and once I've played my two blues songs you've heard them all. Maybe if I lived in New Mexico again . . .? </span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back in 1964 and 65 the Torques got a lot of their songs from their heroes up in Durango, the Exotics. One of them was a song they'd never heard anywhere else called "My Linda" and its main charm was that it had a catchy three-chord riff running through it. E-D-A. We played the song at a few dances in 64 and early 65 and Wally Price, a fellow student from the class of 65, used to come up to the band and plead with us to let him sing the song because he knew a much better version with different words. Did we ever let him do it? I don't remember but we really should have because later in 1965 a song called "Gloria" came out by Them (and Shadows of Night), and it became the most popular dance song of the year. If we had only let Wally sing, we could have scooped the rest of the bands in the area by almost a year!</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In my high school yearbook Wally wrote a few paragraphs telling me how cool I am then ended with probably the most sincere words found in the book: "NOW can I sing Gloria???" That summer of 65 I have a vague memory of Wally coming up and singing "Gloria" at the etc Club on Animas St. close to El Cantaro. He did a great job. As I remember, the club only lasted a couple of weeks before the city fathers shut it down for corrupting the youth of Farmington. Too late!</span></span></b></div>

We found that on the south rim no matter where you wanted to go, Tuba City was the first place you went. Knees' buddy suggested he write a song about all roads leading to Tuba City and this is what resulted. I recorded it in the early 90s and this recent version is pretty similar.
