I called my friend Jesse Muson yesterday from Monterey.He hooked me up with his mom.I went over to her house for dinner.I pulled up to this sweet house surrounded by a vegetable garden.Jocelyn is a hippy from back in the day.She spent many years living in Big Sur.That's where Jesse is from.She made a lovely salad from the garden.I picked some kale from her gigantic kale bush.She said she felt guilty for not eating it up.I marinated the kale in olive oil,soy sauce, garlic and sesame seeds.We shared a bottle of Merlot and had a wonderful dinner talking about Jesse and what he's up to and how much of a great guy he is.She lives in a beautiful old house on top of a hill that overlooks the pacific.After dinner I played and sang her "I'm for real" on Jesse's guitar and she sang me a song in french and sang one of her own songs, it was great.Then we had to watch "So you think you can dance".She's hooked,but it was cool.Amazing dancing and choreography.
I had never met his mom before, so it was one of those situations where you just never know what to expect.It was a pleasant surprise. What a great visit.

"I'm For Real"......great choice Len.
ReplyDeleteFunny, now that you are perched atop the Big Sur and actually watching the sun sinking low in the California sky.....I can't help but wonder what the thought process is when you reflect on when you wrote that lyric all those years ago for "I Still Love You"....just weird shit I think about....you sound as though you are dancing with the divine my friend...and I am happy for you knowing that.
One Love.
