San Francisco Bay Blues (Lost Tapes Vol 14) – John Lennon These are songs with references to all the favorite, special parts of California that helped catalyze bits of me – loosely centered around San Francisco, San Jose, and places you can (and I did) drive to in an afternoon with some friends and a picnic basket. It finds me lately in the music that celebrates the Bay Area I started this mix to accompany my recent trip, finishing it up after that view happened on into my life.
It’s smile-inducing moments of kismet like that which reassure me no matter how far I roam from Pacific coast, it will keep finding me.
Same hill, same view as the one I’d been looking at daily for the last two years. …then these two are photos I took on Christmas from the deck where I was staying: The first picture below is the desktop image I’ve had on my computer for the last two years, to remind me of my homeland: When I first let myself into their empty place on Christmas evening, and walked out to their deck, I took in a sharp breath and smiled. Over the holidays I went to San Francisco for a week to stay at the Noe Valley apartment of friends who were out of town and graciously let me “housesit.” It was a part of town I had never stayed in before. I absolutely love my adopted home, our vibrant music scene, and the fresh air here, but no foolin’ I do often long for my hometown hills. Five years ago I moved out of the San Francisco Bay Area for the snowy, crisp mountains of Colorado.
