 After dinner, I induce got a stroll uptown to larn some snacks for the room equally Letty in addition to Tim caput dorsum to the motel. Morro Bay's downtown district runs along Morro Bay Boulevard in addition to Harbor Street upward on a bluff inward a higher house the waterfront.

 It's serenity in addition to cold. Most of the stores are unopen but presently I listen some music. This isn't a radio but sounds live. Nothing nearby suggests there's a concert or social club open.

 I proceed walking and, equally I walk past times the music store, it gets louder. I peek through the door in addition to consider a band playing...practicing...in the dorsum of the store (see motion painting at top).
Watch the Video!


 In the morning, the iii of us walk dorsum upward to the downtown expanse to store in addition to explore. While Letty seeks out bargains inward i of the several thrift shops upward here, Tim in addition to I wander dorsum over to that music store.

 It's a tight check but nosotros larn Tim in addition to his chair inward in addition to carefully detect a road through the crowded aisles of guitars, cables, drums, mics, in addition to sail music. I tell the guy behind the counter of hearing the band terminal night.

 "Yeah? What'd yous think?"

 "You guys sounded good."

 "Thanks, what's your name?"

 Tim in addition to I innovate ourselves, he says he's Ed.  That would hold upward Ed Frawley, possessor of the store in addition to guitar thespian of the band I saw terminal night. The store is Central Coast Music on the corner of Morro Bay Boulevard in addition to Monterey.

 The band is called Deep Blue in addition to they were tuning upward for a CD unloosen political party at The Siren, a nightclub some the corner that was only nigh to opened upward up. This used to hold upward i of the town's classic, working-man bars called Happy Jacks.

 Ed likewise tells us that somebody flora the master neon sign from Happy Jacks, which volition hold upward restored in addition to hung on the wall inward the novel place.

 I listen a guitar upstairs. Upstairs? I didn't know this house had a bit story. I pace dorsum in addition to hold off upward to consider what looks similar an one-time projection booth in addition to hold off inward the dorsum of the store...yes, that looks similar a stage.  I inquire Ed nigh it in addition to he tells me that this used to hold upward the town's vaudeville house dating dorsum to the early on 20th century.

 Ed gives Tim a slight bent maestro's baton in addition to I purchase him a harmonica in addition to nosotros tell our goodbyes.

 A curiosity store across the street is having a going out of work organization sale, thence nosotros encounter Letty at that topographic point in addition to catch a few inexpensive goodies earlier hitting a nearby leather shop, where she buys a remnant slice to induce got dwelling in addition to move on.

Going dorsum downwards the hill, she spies some to a greater extent than thrift shops thence Tim in addition to I hitting the bar on the corner, where she'll encounter us when shes's done. This is Legends, which used to hold upward the one-time Circle Inn.

 Grabbing a duo of beers, Tim in addition to I munch on the costless popcorn piece nosotros brand friends alongside our neighbors along the bar. There's likewise a window cutting into the wall inward the dorsum of the room where the pizza parlor adjacent door volition sell yous a pie, exceed it through the opening, in addition to yous tin bask alongside your libation.

 This is a truthful locals place...as nosotros inquire nigh a practiced house for dinner along the waterfront, they are a chip dismissive equally inward "that's for the tourists," but nosotros create larn some practiced recommendations from them in addition to induce got a friendly practiced fourth dimension piece waiting for Letty.

 She eventually shows up, nosotros induce got i to a greater extent than drink, in addition to then caput dorsum downwards the loma for dinner.

 We'll verbalise nigh all the practiced places to consume inward the adjacent installment. See yous then!
