[Dixielandjazz] Re: Blues over Bodega

[Bill Gunter]

Regarding the protest at the proposed nuclear reactor site at Bodega Bay it 
is my understanding that there actually was a minor earthquake in the area 
during the demonstration.

The song "San Andreas Fault" was written by Lu and is on the "Bodega" 
record.

The song is also know by another name . . . "San Andreas Shake." There is 
some question as to which is the original title (San Andreas Fault or San 
Andreas Shake).

The Cell Block 7 has been playing it for a few months now and it has become 
one of my favorite songs.

Cheers,
