Dear John:

Here's Jim in Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world, that you can  
smell from 30 miles away nearly in San Jose or Monterrey, calling our  
good old scrapple gross? VBG

Many's the time in the 1960s when I lived in Sausalito we would drive  
to the Sports Car Races at Laguna Seca and inhale that garlic smell  
from miles away.

Musical content: It always reminded me of Andy Russo's trombone(he  
loved garlic). When I would stand near him in Nick's on W. 10th Street  
in the late 1950s, I could easily smell the garlic. I forgot who  
bought that horn when Andy passed, but remember him telling me he  
washed it out many times but still could not eliminate all of the  
garlic oder.
