“California sunset Going down in the West All the colors in the sky Kiss another day goodbye. Land of beauty, space & light Land of promise, land of might You're my home now & it's true California, here's to you.” Neil Young- California Sunsets

Go Bruins!

Loud boom- Earthquake- Lots of strong shaking & rolling in south OC. A rough ride for 10 seconds that felt like 30 seconds. 😬

Sunset California style- #californiadreaming

3 legendary performers & performance. #cream

Nicky Hopkins was the key to so many rock classics - he instinctively knew how to add the finishing touches to songs. Monkey Man, The Song is Over, Revolution, Loving Cup, Angie, Sympathy for the Devil, Baby’s House, Girl from Mill Valley… #nickyhopkins #RockHall2025

Saw The Byrds, Quicksilver MS, Hendrix, the Doors, the Turtles, Steppenwolf- so many bands. Golden Bear & Prison of Socrates in Newport were we went “back in the day.”

Moves Like Jagger… #rollingstones #mickjagger instagram.com/reel/DJkl-iopF…

One of the most intoxicating guitar solos... youtube.com/shorts/Sb90D-2… via YouTube

Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall aboard The Santana- 1945, Newport Beach #bogart #newportbeach

One of the best rock n roll clubs in SoCal was the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. Was lucky to see many of these legendary bands. The Monkees Peter Tork lived there for awhile. Robin Trower was the last to play the Bear. #rocknroll #goldenbear #huntingtonbeach #60s #70s

Insane… #endoftheroad #surfing instagram.com/reel/DKC09-CJn…

Charlie Watts was so low key, but he delivered driving drum beats for the Stones songs. Jumpin’ Jack Flash is one of them… #rollingstones #bestrockmusic youtu.be/2nzmYjg7zCw?si…

One of the best concerts we’ve experienced- Huey Lewis & Joe Montana, Dwight Clark (who had a great voice), Randy Cross & other 49’ers. Oakland 1987. #hueylewisandthenews #dwightclark #joemontana youtu.be/4af1978Q3B0?si…

One of many… Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Official Music Video) youtu.be/aGCdLKXNF3w?si… via YouTube

Crystal Blue Persuasion- Look over yonder What do you see? The sun is a-rising Most definitely A new day is coming People are changing Ain't it beautiful? -Tommy James & The Shondells Newport Beach

Balboa Island- Sandcastle Art by Chris Crosson

Brilliant performance of Brown Sugar- studio backing track with Jagger singing live. One of the best guitar riffs. youtu.be/hxXV2UftL7Q?si…
