Heard one of the neighbors playing the clarinet tonight. It sounded like a beginner, probably a high school student but it went very well with the sunset and cool breeze. It reminded me of our neighbor in the San Francisco apartment who would play a Hawaiian guitar in the evenings that was very pleasant and…… Continue reading Tonight’s sunset
