Here is the 1967 tune by Scott McKenzie urging people to go to San Francisco. It is a pleasant song which among other reasons drew far too many people to San Francisco. Some found their dreams but many became disillusioned by the reality of San Francisco on a day buy day basis.
Certainly there was good music, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger service were all playing for free at times in the parks.

LTC Stephen F. Really a great song and very appropriate for time. I was in dry dock at Vallejo Mare Island Shipyard. We were homeported in Long Beach so on weekends we would go home and on Sunday afternoons the drive back up 99 was filled with young hitchikers.

I did small boat training out of Mare Island back in the 70s on the PBRs good times
and it was close to marine world as I grew up in the Bay Area

AN Ron Wright - I did small boat training in Mare Island in 1968 on the Troop Carriers. I didn't know you were on PBR's Brother Ron.

You are very welcome my audiophile friend AN Ron Wright and thanks for letting me know you were 'raised in the Bay Area in the 60s.' I am glad you also like 1960's music
