A new occasional music spot - remembering places around the World

This is something new. The idea is simple, I remember a place and then an associated piece of music to accompany it.

Starting today with a place in San Francisco in 1978. At the end of an East > West 'Road Trip' we met up with a group of Long Islanders living the Summer in the City. That first evening of friendship, the first of many down the years, we went to the cinema at 10pm, to see 'Foul Play' with Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Dudley Moore. The cinema entrance fee was $4. Brilliant movie and all filmed in San Francisco for added interest while afterwards we went to a bar on Van Ness street, for coffee and carrot cake, called 'Tommy's Joynt' (still there I understand). 

My journal entry records the following: "paraphernalia bar with the most colossal selection of beers from all over the world". 

Back to the movie for the rather cheesy title music, which plays over the opening drive along California Highway 1 - a road we had only travelled along the day before.

Barry Manilow sings 'Ready to Take a Chance Again' - enjoy the drive
