I know there are literally hundreds of songs, shows, and movies set in California and/or with California themes so it must have been difficult to pick but as a child of the 60s, I am disappointed that the "California sound" of the Beach Boys, the Mamas and Papas, and other bands of that era did not make the cut. "California Girls" and "California Dreaming" are two of the more obvious tracks. Your theme did elicit warm feelings of the music of this era in the midst of the cool and wet "June-uary" weather of the Pacific Northwest.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, dad! Those are definitely classics that represent an entire movement of music at that time, but these three just kinda popped up for me and seemed to work well together! Maybe another edition ;)

You have to do you! I'm just adding to the plethora of California themed songs from my era.
