My criteria for picking songs #1 is... I must really like them.
Most of these are obvious picks. Yep. There's lot I left out.
That Scott McKenzie standard was my favorite song way back. Still got that 45. 
Always loved the Beau Brummels. They had a lot of airplay on the AM stations here in Southern California. And I bought their 45's. Which I still have. 
I always liked Jefferson Airplane's mellow stuff... I had to include one here.
That Santana cut is one of my favorites from him. One reason why... you never hear it much anywhere. AND I really like it. Even Bill doesn't have it on the playlist.

San Francisco is a big city with some awesome atmosphere.
It's too bad it's being trashed by a bunch of loons.
I've been there numerous times... been avoiding it lately. 

Thanks for the kind comments.

Before giving this a listen I got me a big bowl of Rice-a-Roni, slipped into a Joe Montana jersey and sat down wind of my step son's window for the spleef smell to get in the right mood. Ah now I'm ready. Thoughts along the journey to a city I've never been in (adult life anyway). 

* Opening track is the quintessential San Fran song, great opener!
* San Francisco Nights - always reminds me of Dragnet. Outstanding guitar work on this too!
* The Beau Brummels didn't get much airplay on the east coast so I don't know them much. 
* Come up the Years - good deep track from the Airplane. 
* The Golden Road - Phil Lesh has the most unique bass sound, without it the Dead don't sound like the Dead. 
* I've often thought the band name Moby Grape is one of the coolest names in rock.
* San Francisco Bay Blue - now that is some good old fashioned Gold Rush Saloon piano right there. 
* Girl with No Eyes - another good deep track from the LaFlammes. I thought the vocals were by Linda but checking my vinyl and it's another chick, Pattie Santos. I should play this record        more often.
* Fresh Air - This must be the LaQuinta hiking theme song.
* Quicksilver Girl - is this tune about a groupie for the Messenger Service?
* Water Song - MASTERPIECE!
* It's been a few since I've heard this Santana song. Nice pick!
* The Lucksmiths - clever band name. Singer sounded English to me for some reason. Maybe cause they used the word "Fortnight"
* Foxygen - Their time machine works great, sounds very 60ish. 

There was a real definitive sound all throughout the selections on this mix. It was most enjoyable.
I was thinking you missed including The Tubes, but then again their sound isn't really San Fran.
CD and cover art spectacular! I hear Nancy Pelosi wants a copy ;-)

reminds me of this quote

Sounds like all the members got it. There are only four of us left in this club. Well, four and a half. Kurtser gets a copy from me. And I send one to Scott just to harass him. 

I'll post the title page and list soon.

Reached the Garden State without issue

I'm finally admitting that I no longer have a working cassette player and it's time to remove some tunes.Like...a LOT of tunes.

And some spoken word stuff. And some unlabeled mystery cassettes, which might be blank (start your own taping adventure!) or might belong to one of the (very few) labeled but empty boxes. There around 200 cassettes here, mostly recorded by me on high-quality chrome tapes from LPs on a pretty decent turntable thru a NAD cassette drive, but also some commercial. A lot of Beatles and post-Beatles (25 or so tapes, so 50 or so records). Lots of folky stuff, some time-capsule '80s hipster music, some classical, lots of children's music. Garrison Keillor, Talking Heads, Gordon Bok...if you know my tastes you have a pretty good idea what's in here.

Package deal includes 5 cassette storage drawers. If you want me to sift thru the boxes to see if I have that one tape you want out of this I'll look, but priority goes to whoever wants the whole package. I'm giving all this away,.

If you aren't local I'd like you to cover shipping but if you have a compelling enough story (it should include orphans in headphones and I don't know maybe whales) I'll consider paying for that too.

All items are as is, no guarantees or promises these won't burst into smoky flames like something from an old Mission Impossible opener. You're getting free tunes that gave me many hours of enjoyment so no whining. You will be getting vastly more than you paid for!

I just discovered that there's a documentary out there that covers my theme/ title for this month.
But I came up with this idea back in the early 80's when I actually did a Mixtape of that theme on a Maxell cassette tape.
And I still have it for proof.
So there.
Should I hire a lawyer?
