| Jeremy, Stephen, Megan, Melissa and me at Pasquale's Pizza in San Francisco, where we met with my sister Jennifer, Pascale, Liezl and Alex to help celebrate my 50th. |
| My kids with Alex, Jennifer and Pascal -- I'm showing off the paintings Liezl painted herself for me of John and Paull, her own interpretation from the Sgt. Pepper album |
| Here I am with the b-day cake Melissa made for me -- with 50 red hot candies on top (thank heavens not 50 candles!) Melissa and Megan decorated the apartment, with blow-up guitars even! |
| Jerm playing one of my "real" guitars! |
| "People in the trees, people up on the hill!..." If you look closely, you can look up in the hill and see a bunch of people! |
 |
 |
| Stephen and Liezl accompanied me to the Summer of Love concert in Golden Gate Park. Thousands of people showed up! |
| ...all different ages and walks of life... |
| The Native Americans arrived and set up a tee pee! |
| Liezl enjoying the show... |
| Even though the stage was kinda far from us, we still felt all the cool vibes of the great music, the beat poets and the speakers...surrounded by like-minded souls |
| Liezl and Stephen |
| Lots of cool 60's bands played on the stage -- Moby Grape, Canned Heat (I loved them), Taj Mahal, and a wonderful surprise appearance of Jefferson Starship doing their old Jefferson Airplane songs... |
| Lots of interesting, mellow people...including the guy in front of us who took off most of his clothing down to speed-os and swung around his shirt to the music... |
