Channel 21

(1966 January 7)

Daddy says I gave him Channel 21, but I can't claim much credit, as to set it all off Holly [Strang, the electrician] told LL he bet we could get 21 because Williams sometimes did with no additional ariel. So LL told him to go ahead. But he cooled off until I called Olita [Strang] one day and asked her to speed up Holly because that was the only thing LL wanted for Xmas from me. So Holly put on more hardware on the roof, and it comes in fine except for the snow. He is still working on it. That is the UW channel, you know. Tonight we just heard an hour on the life of Sibelius. Incidently, his music is like the Finnish language with the accent on the first syllable, as they say HEL'sinki. Before that, program was on the Broadway theater - Benefit Performances. Also plays by Sari - and no commercials. You really feel the continuity.
