Scott McKenzie, San Francisco

Early one morning last week, poolside in sunny Sunnyvale, California…birds twittering, a lone sweeper sweeping his garden trimmings…well, you get the picture!

As I packed up my flute after recording this rather tepid version of San Francisco (Flowers in Your Hair), I suddenly noticed the initials inscribed in the silver crown of my instrument: SF

Coincidence? I don’t think so! But regardless, I have to say that I continue to love my Parisian-made Faulisi headjoint that I picked up at last year’s NFA Flute Convention in Albuquerque!

For you flute players out there, I guess the lyrics for this song could be changed to read: “Are going…to Kan-sas City“?
