The Song "APL Blossom Time"

AplBloosomTimeFull_T.jpg

The song "APL Blossom Time" was written in 1981 by Mike Montalbano using the pseudonym J.C.L Guest. The lyrics are a very accurate representation of the early years of APL.

There are two videos available regarding the song.

The audio for the first video was recorded at my home in San Jose. The video contains pictures of some of the early contributors to APL.

The audio for the second video was recorded at the APL81 conference dinner by Bob Armstrong who was sitting in the audience.

My introduction is difficult to understand but the video contains the text.

The song is sung by me, Larry Breed, John Bunda, Diana Dloughy, Al O'Hara , Rob Skinner and the 1100 attendees of the conference.

The video contains the full text of the song. This text is also available as a PDF document.
