Ogdon returned to Southern California in 1966 to found a revolutionary
new music department at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

In 1991, he retired from UCSD to become a bohemian full-time
composer. The release of this CD was timed to coincide with
his 80th birthday. Happy birthday, Will!
