Yes, I know, there are a bazillion songs about California.  And, yes, I know how silly it is that a native Californian would recommend a song about California.  Because, of course, I love California.  It's the smell of sage.  It's the sight of avocado orchards growing from incredibly steep rocky hillsides.  It's the mist of salt spray along the coast.  It's the dappled light shining through impossibly high redwood trees onto windy blacktop roads.  It's the subtle shades of orange: from the native poppies, the orbs hanging from trees,  spectacular sunsets, and fires burning through scrub lands.  It's home.

Or maybe I just chose this song because it includes a reference to my favorite Shel Silverstein book.  

Either way, worth a listen.
