| Shot taken by me of Yosemite at twilight |
Another one of my favorites written by the late great Sarah Elizabeth Campbell.
When I sing this song, I always think of being on the Eastern side of the Sierras, as the song says, "all alone, me and the stars".
One special night in particular stands out when I was camping out in the high desert just south of Mammoth Ca near the illegal hot tubs that some industrious hippies built over the natural
geothermal hot springs that dot the area. Me and my then boyfriend sat in one of the larger hot tubs at night to watch the
Perseids shooting by.
We were far away from the city lights and thousands of shooting stars filled the big black desert night. The night was so dark and the Perseid showers were so bright, that the stars seemed close enough to reach out and touch.
Some memories are magical and stay with you forever.
