Jill Knight has lived in Cambria for many years and sings in the local joints. We don't know her but there are a few local folkies and most of us get together on the first Monday of the month.

SRS:

Hearst Castle has four different tours although they overlap to some extent. For example, we think all four include the Neptune Pool which is outside and has fabulous statuary around it. Some tours include the indoor pool as well.

We think Cambria is the greatest getaway spot in the U.S. It's off the beaten path and has about 7 or 8 thousand residents. There are lots of motels and, if you don't insist on being across the street from the beach, they're not too expensive. We even have a hostel! You can take the tours of Hearst Castle or Piedras Blancas Light Station and there are more than 200 wineries in our county with about half of them offering tasting. There are lots of shops and no chain stores. You won't find a lot of 'made in Taiwan' junk here - only quality merchandise, much of it created by local artists. The climate is perfect. It has never dropped to freezing at our house in 23 years and if it gets over 75 degreees it makes the front page of the weekly newspaper. There's no movie theater here but we do have a live theater venue. In fact, Jerry has the male lead in a play opening on August 6 and is rehearsing most nights.

That's why we moved here from the Los Angeles area when we became full time musicians in 1987.
