A couple months prior to that day, I wrote and recorded this song, and played it for her at my recording studio, Theta Sound (located in Los Feliz at the time), after which I asked her, "What's your ring size?" ❤️

Years later I made a simple wedding photo video montage to go with the music and you can watch/listen to "Santa Rosa Lady" by clicking/tapping the photo above, or here.

Below are the the song lyrics which also appear on the music video page:

Santa Rosa Lady (for Cyndie)

I could sense the magic the first time that she smiled

Graceful as the sunset and playful as a child

Standing out amongst the crowd like roses in the wild

And the Santa Rosa Lady is always on my mind

Santa Rosa Lady, she's one of a kind

And up until this point in time, impossible to find

but now I've found my Santa Rosa Lady

A gentle kiss of moonlight through her autumn hair

Blue eyes sparkle clear and bright with love to fill the air

And lately I've been feeling like a kid without a care

And the Santa Rosa Lady is always on my mind

Santa Rosa Lady, she's one of a kind

And up until this point in time, impossible to find

but now I've found my Santa Rosa Lady 

Looking back through histories

And all the timeless mysteries

We came this far without each other 

Now here we are to help each other grow

Paint a perfect picture and write it in a song

She the words and I the music, here where we belong

And even though we haven't known each other for too long

The Santa Rosa Lady is always on my mind

Santa Rosa Lady, she's one of a kind

And up until this point in time, impossible to find

But now I've found my Santa Rosa Lady 

Santa Rosa Lady (Santa Rosa Lady) 

Santa Rosa Lady (Santa Rosa Lady) 

Santa Rosa Lady (Santa Rosa Lady)

Since she and I were the 2 youngest of 6 kids, we ended up bonding in some interesting ways in our teens. And here we are all these years later, loving life and awesome, healthy food! 

Francie learned to dance and perform in musicals. She eventually ended up on Maui running the Maui Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) for about 30 years, before returning to the mainland to help take care of our mom.
