Are You Going to San Francisco?

Featured image: Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair

As I was scanning this work for my website and giclee prints I was playing "If You're Going To San Francisco"  by Scott McKenzie and I was getting goosebumps all over me as I listened and watched the scan take shape.  We wore our hearts outside our chest back then and believed that love would make everything ok.  We should all again - wear flowers in our hair. Something tells me this will be a part of my current series on women.

"Are You Going to San Francisco"
Lyrics & Music by Scott McKenzie
by Scott McKenzie

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
