This is a photo of Scott's Tree, atop the bluffs above Pirate's Cove. I call it that because one time Scott and I were walking that trail, and he paused there to breathe in a breeze, as fresh and clean as any I had ever felt, arriving on the West Coast after a 7000 mile trip across the Pacific. Every time I walk that trail, I stop there, in honor of that moment, and inhale.
I lived in nearby Shell Beach for about ten years. It was a good time for songwriting -- my style was maturing, and I had a vivid social life, with plenty of joy and suffering. This week's playlist:
