A few of my favorite things


Today I spent the day on Fillmore street at the Jazz Festival--Harlem of the West-- where the city of San Francisco is trying to revive the spirit of a place that fell under the weight of a heavy wrecking ball. I spent the better part of my time listening to the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra play "Harriet Tubman." After the sounds cast it's spell, I stumbled down the street and into Yoshi's Jazz Club .  It was out of my dreams. I was standing in Bop City. That's democracy for me.
