Back home in Sweden (bit jet lagged) also blown away by the experience of all the music in the Bay area of San Francisco.

Mostly, seemingly, in the North East side although SFO gives a day by day events calender.

This Cafe Bazaar was at 5927 California Street. A 30 minute bus ride West along Geary Street from Union Sq. Local cafe of Richard Goldberg owner of 4 anglo concertinas.

What a great crowd they are at,
Harmony's Way out at Oakland at a Marxist library ! Great accapella singing. Taught them a new fun song about tigers. They liked that.

Met up with Dave Swan of Oak, Ash and Thorn Got to see some very wide and tall trees with him and his lady.

And
Chanteyranger (Peter Kasin) who leads the Shanty singing
on a Clipper Ship down on Fisherman's Warf once a month.

Met up with a few of them all again at the Free Festival
in El Cerrito. Which is just North of Berkley and Oakland.

Very impressed with the quality of all the music I heard and shared.

Those I missed this time around - Open Mike - lost somewhere at El Cerrico and - ClaireBear - too, same place. Sorry about that. Next time for sure.

Spent loads of time with my long lost Daughter and her husband. Played golf with my Grandson and watched a day of the Presidents Cup. All the stars including Tiger Woods. Good stuff. Got to see the "Giants" win a baseball game live! Daughter almost got hit by a flyball!

I will definitely be back there.

Keep you posted as to when.

Thanks to all in the Bay Area.
