"California Dreamin'"

"California Dreamin'"
An obvious choice here....well it is for me :-)

From Wikipedia -
“California Dreamin' was written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips and released as a single in 1965. The song is #89 in Rolling Stone '​s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”

It is very sad to read that Michelle Phillips is the only surviving member of the Mamas & Papas.

Such a lovely all time favorite M & P's song and I absolutely love your photo Roger. What a beauty! (I am playing "catch-up" after a week off to rest my weary shoulder yet again.) Hope you had a nice Easter. :)

Thanks so very much, Karen. And, thank you for faving my photo. Easter was good and the sun actually shone all day yesterday :-) Sorry, to read that your shoulder is still giving you trouble. I hope something can be sorted and you can be free of the pain and discomfort.

Hi Roger, I'm glad to know that you had a pleasant Easter Sunday.

Thanks for your concern for my wobbly shoulder. If I just learn to take it a bit easy from time to time I'm sure I will be okay. I just tend to overdo things sometimes. :-)

Interesting photo.
The song reminds me that I dreamed of other things in the summer of 65, I was working as a consultant on the Concord.
