[FROM THE TOP]
“College Life” (((SONG))) — Terrence Boylan’s story (song) of life in New England and the Ivy League, in most ways, was the same as anywhere in America, including in Gainesville, and at the University of Florida.
“Gainesville Swinging” (((PICTURE))) — My roommates and I lived in the “Brown House” on NW 21st Street, four blocks west of president Marston’s “mansion,” on University Avenue. It was on the edge of UF’s oak-filled campus, across from the Murphree area tennis (and racketball) courts, and Florida Field. Sally was one of our across-the-street neighbors, and was a part of the good time we had going to school, and finding our higher-education religion.
“Deep Down In Florida” (((VIDEO))) — Muddy Waters sings of the deeply personal roots he planted in Gainesville, first, when he played downtown, at the legendary Cotton Club, a favorite venue on the Chitlin’ Circuit in the DEEP SOUTH.

Home Is Where The Rockets Fly.* (((VIDEO))) — Daily photographs from the Space Coast, Florida. From Sebastian Inlet, north on A1A, along the Atlantic, to Cape Canaveral (SACRED GROUND), the last spot on Earth touched by twelve American astronauts, before stepping onto the surface of THE MOON.
“After School” (((VIDEO))) — From Gainesville, southbound to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and all of South Florida’s extreme diversity. Still natural out west (Everglades, Big Cypress) east on the beach, and south to the underwater, coral reef, along the string of pearls to Key West, Marquesa, and the Florida Strait.
“Seminole Wind” (((VIDEO))) — John Anderson’s song describes a Florida, thirty miles out west on SR80, starting from the ocean, at the infamous Mar-a-Lago on Palm Beach, and leading to Lake Okeechobee, the expansive FLORIDA SUGAR fields that stretch into the Everglades, and the small towns on the lake’s shore, including Clewiston, called “THE SWEETEST TOWN IN AMERICA.”
