Hometown Bands For Music on Monday

Born in San Francisco, CA, raised across the Bay in the East Bay in Hayward, Ca (I am what they call Made in Hayward-all schooling including a B.A. in Hayward). So I will pick bands from the Bay  Area :

First is Y&T who is from Hayward and we used to sneak in and see them practice in a warehouse behind Toys R Us:


Faith No More from San Francisco:


Green Day from the East Bay (recorded a couple albums at a friend's recording studio):



From Oakland-The Pointer Sisters:



From Oakland-The Digital Underground:


From San Leandro/Oakland (Also, because the older Burrell's knew my brothers and his son played in the same little league divisions for five years as my son)-M.C. Hammer;


There are many bands from the region I am from. Could be here all day. Hope you enjoyed a little spot light from the Bay.

  2. Several years ago, we visited San Francisco for the first annual Rock N Roll marathon. I was supposed to run the half, but put off back surgery long enough to at least watch my husband run the whole. I love the beachie scenes. You have some wonderful artists from your neck of the woods. It was fun to see where these artists come from! Congrats for being in the spotlight. Can't touch that!

  5. Whoo-hoo, you're really rockin' down the house with your hometown boys! There's a lot of talent that came out of the Bay area. The Pointer Sisters would have to be my personal favorite, but it was fabulous to listen to all of your song selections. Congrats on being this week's Spotlight Dancer!

    You have so many fun choices!! That Humpty song is a crack up! And yes, I was dancing in my seat for that and all of them. :) Congrats on being the Spotlight Dancer!! It's always great to dance with you each week. :)
