Hi Bill,
I really love your work for the RP-Station and the fresh AlannahWind,
any Chance for an Video-Log with a Short Tour Like âa working day of Billâ ?
My wife and I are really curious, and we do Not want TO disturb you by visiting for real ð

We're planning a West Texas wildflower trip in April.
Mulling a New Mexico/West Texas trip for next spring as well. Though Mrs Miser doesn't seem to be too enthusiastic about it right now. May have to "settle" for Smokey Mtn wildflowers instead.
One never knows about the flowers.
Depends on the rain we get during the Winter/ early Spring.
Baja is super green/lush right now. So the purple flowers are about 3 weeks behind, should be perfect timing. It's really cool to see the desert landscape transform to vibrant colors. At our place the humming birds are out in full force right now (also the scorpions...).
Under 50 miles away from me, just outside of the high desert town of Yucca Valley.
I've been there a few times.
When the shows are inside... way too much volume for me. The outside stage is way better IMHO.
I did see Son Volt inside... and it was great.
Some really famous people have performed there.
Even Paul McCartney a few years back.
Really looking forward to our drive south this year. The sand verbena should be in full bloom, the desert hills will be purple.

Cool. I figured it was somewhere in your neck of the woods. My friend said it was one of the coolest places they'd played.

I saw some photos on Instagram of a place called Pappy & Harriet's, in Pioneertown, CA, posted by some folks I know whose band played there. Looks like an interesting and fun spot. Is that somewhere near you Kurt (from LaQ)?

I was born in Alta Bates. I am sure that I rode my bike by your house a couple of times, too. I lived on Carmel Ave off of Solano, on Modoc between Solano and Marin and up on Cragmont by Shasta Rd. I took a spin around the map and saw that the Jr high I went to has been renamed from Garfield to MLK. Both my Dad and I went to that school and I'm pretty sure we both went to Thousand Oaks Elementary. My Dad went to HS with Billy Martin of the Yanks and actor Robert Culp.
Hope to get back one more time before I kick. Haven't been back since 74.
I had to hunt it down because it reminded me of a spot further north. I've driven by this place a couple of times but I assume you spent some time with the sharks...
Swami's in Encinitas. Never actually went out there. Stopped many a time looking at the break on the way down to SD, but never caught it working. Usually ended up down at Cardiff / Tamarack beach, a pretty reliable break.

That's a neighborhood I could live in. Residential but easy to get to stores and the freeway. All the bungalows look alike after a while but one across the street from there reminds me of a place I had Thanksgiving dinner one year. I know I walked my old dog, Rocket, in front of your grandparents' house... we used to hike all over around there.
It's on a really deep lot.
Down that driveway there's a garage/one bedroom rental unit. There's small basement under that building that was a wonderland for the grandkids. It was primarily wine storage, and was where Papa made red wine vinegar in a wood barrel. Behind the garage was his prolific garden. Ahh, such great memories.
