This was during the crazy months from Dec 2022 ~ Jan 2023 that atmospheric rivers of rain dumped all over the SF Bay Area, including this night where both "The Rain Song" and "Going To California" were appropriate played. This was indeed a very special night with all the following memories recalled....

* First time Zepparella played at Moe's Alley venue
* Anna Kristina and Clementine recollecting their magical time going to college in Santa Cruz (a "fairyland of love" as put by Clementine)
* Our Zepparella fan/friend Greg Patz coming all the way over from Arizona to see this show despite the treacherous weather endured along the way.
* Gretchen debuts her "signature model" Breedlove Eco Limited Edition, Exotic S Concert, Twilight Blue Burst acoustic guitar, which she allowed me the honor of test driving "The Rain Song" (appropriately) during soundcheck!

    Jestem Polakiem . To tak dla porzadku. Ta Pani ,wokalistka, jest świetna. Słucham Zepparella od pewnego czasu, bo uwielbiam Led Zeppelin. Drogie Panie, nie przestawajcie robić tego, co robicie. Grajcie swoje pomysły. Oby tak dalej!!

    The Rain Song is one of my favourites in the Led Sep catalogue. Gretchen played it beautifully.

    You women are fantastic. Almost perfect covers. Well a cover shouldn’t be perfect. How is the acoustic tuned for the rain song?🎸
