My father, Don Holmes and a friend of his, wrote a song about San Diego in about 1932. He was raised in San Diego. The starting lyrics are:
“S for the sunshine we have every day, A for the air perfumes from flowers gay, N for the nicest spot you’ll find anywhere…” spelling out San Diego in addition to a chorus. I am looking to see if anyone has heard it.

Adventure called, the whistle blew, and dragged me far away from you and every mile I traveled, it became a mile too far. I had to leave to realize that home was there beneath your skies and the greenest grass is growing there in your front yard. San Diego, San Diego, the days have been too many and the nights have been too long. San Diego, San Diego, my shoes are homesick for your streets and I’m coming home. Those are the lyrics. 1969 or 1970, Who sang it?

In the seveinties one of the San Diego radio stations held a contest and asked for originals songs about San Diego. They then put out an album with several of the best. I remember these titles: Chula Vista-Chula Vista, Lovely Lakeside Lady. Does anyone remember the album title? Anyone have it on CD/ Thanks, Pierre Ney

I remember a song from 1972 about San Diego, which I probably haven’t heard in over 30 years. I’ve been trying to track down that song and hope to find it soon. I lived in the Chicago area in 1972 and remember hearing it on the radio there back then. I remember the lyrics including the line “San Diego, San Diego, that’s where I’ll go”. While I have found many long-time-no-hear songs on Napster and iTunes, I still have yet to find that San Diego song. Do any of you recall such a song from the 1972 era? I would greatly appreciate a reply, especially if you have any info about that song (such as it’s exact title and/or artist, and/or where I might be able to find it). Thanks.
