  • Diapason Karis, Part 10

    Totem Acoustic liked to say that their speakers were a bridge to musical understanding. Back in the early-to-mid 90s, that certainly was a different marketing tack. But here's the walkway bridge over Webster Street: …
  • Diapason Karis, Part 9

    Whenever my maternal grandmother visited us in San Francisco, she'd ask, "What time Jeopardy?" And each time, my mom would sigh, "It's on at 7:00 on channel 7!" While the gameshow Jeopardy has become an American phen…
