There is an incredible music venue at Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, CA called the Douglas Beach House. It is the home of the legendary Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society. The beauty of the place (one of its walls is made of glass, revealing a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean) and the soulful vibe that emanates from it is hard to describe if you’ve never been there. This tune is dedicated to the owner of the BD&DS, Pete Douglas, as much as it is to the place itself.
