4. DAMN. You've got something here. Amazing history, this is!

The Red Dog Saloon. Built on southern Cal infrastructure support, and potheads from Marin County, and "stuff from San Fran."

But national sounds can almost always be said to have started somewhere else, yes?

"How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" is an example of the part of America's musical scaffold, for sure. I sang that song!

It was part of that Wild West sound, and hippies LOVED The Family Dog. Now, they sound like the creative basis of a kind of music business, and love of music drove all that creativity that also came from somewhere else.

So why shouldn't San Francisco say, at no certain historical point, "Thanks, we got this from here."

And they did.

As did blues, jazz, and other "American" music.
