Your place or mine?

A crazy associate and I used to play the northeast corner below Ghirardelli Square across from the Golden Gate Bridge, tenor sax and my guitar and voice. Tuning? "Close enough for jazz." They still had front teeth.

A rasta busker used to fight us for the busy corner. I returned decades later, no longer busking, a veteran, careered in software and stuff. Rasta guy was still on the same corner earning quarters. Didn't look happy, even in good weather.

I was never exhausted enough to crawl up into the Aquatic Park foghorn for sheltered sleep. Ya never know when it might blow.

ObTopic: I'm playing cuts from LIGHTNING HOPKINS EARLY RECORDING, stuff he cut for Houston jukeboxes circa 1950, paid a gallon of wine per song. I got the Arhoolie album in 1965. The music was, to a young me, a textbook on blues guitar.

Meet you half way. I'm about 600 miles north of Tahoe.

I think I saw Rasta Busker at Ghirardelli Square that last time I was there. That was 6 or 7 years ago.

Thanks for the tip about Lightnin' Hopkins. Classic American Blues.

"Where Eagles Dare" theme music (by Ron Goodwin)

I was in a line at a store recently, and a guy at the next check out was wearing an army green t-shirt with the words "Broadsword calling Danny Boy" on it. I'm a bit ashamed that it took me half an hour to figure out the movie. I guess that's because I couldn't think it with a slight Welsh accent and Shakespearean timbre.

Listening to "How Blue Can You Get?" By BB King. It's gonna be close to 40C / 100F here today. I'm looking for the CD with "Summertime" by Janice Joplin on it.

Australian Crawl - Chinese Eyes

We’re gonna watch the moon come up
I’m drinking salty wine
With some friends of mine
From our favourite cup
We’re national parked, after dark
We’re gonna watch sun go down
But you and I and the nights of sigh
In that house on the edge of town
Chinese eyes
You know it wasn’t just a holiday fling
Chinese eyes
She’s no take away Chow Mein
