Great lyric Tony. The imagery so good.
The music is very good too. If I was to be critical, I would say, watch the placement of the guitar solos...they sound really good, but personally (just me) I would make the single note guitar the fill-ins melodic ( ie no bendy jazzy look-at-me thingies - save them for one ripping solo instead)
But really sounds awesome as is anyway.
I like your JAPOV soundclick channel.

Bill Fun fact; My girlfriend at the time really did live on "Costa Bella"... But, her name doesn't rhyme with California

Good job man Not in SoCal anyway... I remember the Santa Anas. Everything got really dry and full of "static". Do they still blame the cartels on their dirt-bikes for the fires?

Just Mother Nature I guess , Santa Ana winds , perfect storm . They'll be a lot of busy contractors for while , Insurance night mare. I really don't feel sorry for the movie stars , its the average Joe guys I do .

Had some good friends there...but I don't really miss the state, itself.
The song is as thick, rich and sweet as honey itself.
Good stuff!

Good stuff! Ooooh, I disagree... California is BEAUTIFUL! I love the low humidity and mild winters. Probably a lot like Hawaii... It's all the Nazis and roaches I can't stand

Yes I am... Lake County . We get slammed with wild fires every year. We had to evacuate for a day, while one wild fire blew through . Helicopters and planes scooping up water , one mile from me up the hill . I live on a lake . It was on the news , but we're not movies stars . it's a common occurrence living here , 3 or 4 a year . It gets extremely hot living here, so brush fires, like L.A. happen quite often .You also like L.A. can't get fire insurance , unless you're rich like movie stars. We're getting a lot of rain this year , more brush to burn this summer .
On the Malibu deal... it was the flying winds and embers that got them . They were probably busy with the massive fires to deal with Malibu .

Pros-n-Cons I guess... Most people have never heard of a swamp cooler lol. It's so dry in Cali you can air-condition your house with water

We had swamp coolers on base in Lemoore... and they were 30yrs old in '79 lol.
They worked GREAT!
Speaking of the "valley", have you ever experienced Tule Fog?

Tule Fog ? Yeah we get it in valleys driving to the Bayarea on Fridays . 2 hours away to do biz. if we go the Sacramento way , which is another way to get out of here , Tule Fog is in the miles of orchards you drive thru . If I was younger I'd live in Nashville and play that game . The south ain't bad except for humidity , that kinda sucks .
