Description: Bourbon Street at intersection of St. Louis Street, looking down river, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1977. Al Hirt club at left. Live at New Orleans 1977. From the 23rd of July, 1977 I spent a month in the United States of America. My american cousin, who worked for the IBM at the time, invited me to Poughkeepsie, a garden town near New York City. I enjoyed her garden pool, the neighbourhood parties of the time, Boston and Philadelphia. She showed me around in Vermont, we visited her cottage there. She was well to do. A few days later I buyed a seasons ticket for the Greyhound bus line and started a month long journey – all alone – on my own. America – for me – seemed to be a huge, vast country, with easy going, warm hearted people: the Land of the free, the Home of the Brave. Published under Creative Commons in the Metapolisz DVD line. („Land of the Free, Home of the Brave”: Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner in 1814. The quote is from that song.) Amerikai unokatestvérem budapesti látogatását követően 1977 –ben meglátogattam az Egyesült Államokban, a New York államban levő Poughkeepsi -ben. 1977 július 23 –án indultam Ferihegyről, Shannon –nál történő átszállásal Ney Yorkba. A kellemes kertvárosi övezet fürdőmedencés luxusát nem sokáig élveztem. Poughkeepsie kiélvezése után tettünk egy kirándulást északra, Vermontba is, megnéztük Bostont, Philadelphiát. Pár nap elteltével vettem egy bérletet a Greyhound buszjáratra, ami korlátlan utazásra jogosított fel pár héten belüli időtartamra. Amerika egy hatalmas országnak tűnt számomra, melegszívű, a dolgokat könnyen vevő emberekkel: a szabad emberek országának.
