Were you there in the 60's? A pilgrim song for you

David

Veteran Member
Time of past OR future Camino
First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Just occurred to me that if one said "Santiago" in one's head when Scott McKenzie sings "San Francisco" then this would be marvellous pilgrim song for those of us who were Hippies in the sixties!

I so loved that time (at least, I think I do, can't remember that much :))

do try it!!

 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
A bit twee for me David. Still listen to Cream though and their live album from the reunion gig at The Royal Albert Hall will be accompanying me (On Spotify of course). Crossroads, We're Going Wrong....... trying to think of a few more appropriate ones. Counting Crows 'Holiday in Spain' is a good one too. You realise I won't be able to sleep tonight now don't you!
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

just let me fetch my kaftan and daisy chain for my hair (I have photographic evidence somewhere)... the 1960s 'Hippie Years' I so do remember that time - home from school to watch the moon landing, my first protest march, a president assassinated, a prime minister vanished, the doomsday clock, womens lib, civil rights movement... some great poets and authors, singers and songs, spiritual teachers...

It was a time of great promise (and heartbreak)... or were we just young and all filled with ambitious possibilities ?

See what a simple tune stirs up in the soul... :rolleyes:

I was giving a patient of mine quite a cup full of pills one morning. He made like he was going to take the whole bunch at once. I asked him if he was ok taking that many. He replied, "honey, I'm from the 60's, we are the experts in taking pills" I laughed so hard, I had to sit down. I love that song.

Love it David!! I may sing it for a good part of the way next time. Thank you.
The rest of the time I'll be singing On the Way Again and Peter's list - except for Walk Like a Man (not sure that one works for me).

David & Peter thanks for the memories! I was 17 at the time. Will sing all of them on my 3rd stage (Burgos)of Camino Francis in September. My son worked in San Francisco Summer 2007 while a college student. He attended 40th yr celebrations of Summer of Love held in Golden Gate Park. He & friends enjoyed it so much and he knew a lot of the songs from that era that his Mam had taught him!!

Currently on their final (probably) tour. Otway is still a nutter, Barrett is still a musician. Its no wonder they get on so well :rolleyes:

When biarritzdon mentioned 'Can't find my way home' it took me back to Cropredy 4 or 5 or6 years ago listening to a brilliant set by Steve Winwood. Encore of Gimme Some Lovin as I recall.
Do you think people get bored listening to people ramble on about gigs?:confused:
 
St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
I'm off to see Curtis Eller tomorrow night (New York's greatest yodelling banjo player). Sorry, rambling....
Our next one is Jools Holland and the rather wonderful Ruby Turner, at the equally wonderful Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, assuming my legs still work, as it's post Camino.
 
This song--and "I Left My Heart in SF" --remind me of my dad, who was born and raised there. We used to take a lot of family vacations to SF. One of my favorite cities in the USA.
Oh, do come visit! I live about 50 miles north and would love to host you if you make your way here! There is no place like The City!

Out of courtesy I won't sing any song while other are near. While on my own "Forever Young" Bob Dylan or Rod Stewart were covered followed by "Miles From Nowhere" from Cat Stevens. I did have to reword these songs because of living through the Sixties in the Bay Area..... Ultreya........ Willy/Utah/USA

First song I ever learned on guitar in 1973. I was 11... Ha ha ha ha.....

My hand was already up as I read the first post in this thread.

As I approached the albergue in the amazingly-named village of Albergueria on the VdlP in 2012, I was greeted with "Blowing in the Wind" playing through the speaker outside the bar, ....but the Kingston Trio version! I guess that will tell you I was no hippie in the 60's. But that song got to me. Recommended for quiet moments. (That's the bar with scallop shells all over the walls and ceilings).
