STRANGE SENSATION

SUMMER, 1952....5 AM SLEEPING SOUNDLY UNTIL A NEIGHBOR'S DOG STARTED HOWLING..(YES, IT IS TRUE)...L.A. WAS MOSTLY ASLEEP.....IT WAS A SEVEN POINTER AND IT'S AUTHOR WAS A RELITIVELY MINOR FAULT NAMED THE WHITE WOLF FAULT NEAR BAKERSFIELD...  MINOR AS IT WAS, IT KNOCKED OIL STORAGE TANKS OFF OF THEIR FOUNDATIONS AND PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED TEHACHIPI....BUILDINGS SWAYED IN DOWNTOWN L.A. AND MY BED ON COASTERS, ROLLED AROUND A BIT.  THE TWO CYLINDRICAL DOOR CHIMES BANGED TOGETHER.  I HEARD THE ALARMS GOING OFF IN MONTROSE STORES DUE TO BROKEN WINDOWS...  THE THING THAT KEPT MOST OF US ON EDGE WERE THE AFTERS  NOT EXACTLY PUPPIES FOR SURE.. THE BIGGY KNOCKED ARM OFF OF A RECORD THAT WAS BEING PLAYED OVER L.A. RADIO.....THE NAME OF THE SONG WAS "STRANGE SENSATION"       B.
