Walking further east in Golden Gate Park, I passed half-naked sun worshipers everywhere.
The drum jam session at the base of Hippie Hill near the tennis courts was unusually sunny on this St. Patrick's Day.
Some variation on this pickup drumming jam group has been playing here since at least the 1960s.
It's usually a bit sloppy and looks way more fun to participate in than listen...
...but on this particular Sunday they were sounding good.
My two favorite things were the vintage hippie chick above, radiating authentic joy...
...and this accordion player who sat about a dozen feet away from the drummers but who added immeasurably to the music. There was also an old gentleman with an electric bass and a small amp turned down low who also contributed a continuo. It was perfectly lovely.
