Come along for a ride… It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!

“My soul blows crazy on the sails of a ~ derelict wind”~ from Good Love, one of my favorite tracks on the new CD by Lance Taylor, “American Love.”

So for the past 6 months my job has been to drive every paved, public road from Santa Maria to the Salinas valley plus up Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur. I have about a week to go, and then my job assignment will be finished. Yesterday I was driving down this remote road off the Salinas valley enjoying a gorgeous spring day and listening to my singer songwriter friend’s new CD (Lance Taylor of Key West). I really love his music and new CD, “American Love!” I spontaneously decided to take this video with my iPhone as a souvenir of this fun job, and to preserve such a lovely memory. I never did see another car on this road. The video is a little shaky, because it was a rough, country road, and I was driving with one hand and holding my phone cam with the other. Look carefully, too, and you will see all kinds of critters in the air and on the road throughout the whole recording.

Central Coast Love Song

I really enjoyed finally meeting Central Coast singer songwriter, Don Lampson, last night at The Sanitarium in San Luis Obispo, California. Here is a song he wrote for his long time love, Peg, called The Heart of the Chaparral. It tells the story of their life together. Don gave a heart felt performance, and I loved how the lyrics referenced the Central Coast!
