In the Haight area, in the Mission District, I think even sometimes in the Tenderloin? It's been so long, tho, I'm not altogether sure. She didn't seem to stay in one place, so you never knew when you'd see her

All you Bodega listeners, did you know that Gary composed his first piano piece when he was just 2 years old. It was called Mouse on the Moon.
Avatar 8:46pm

@Jill: very charming to imagine this piece, but I don't even have to hear it to know that Mouse on the Moon is a perfect title
Avatar 🇰🇷 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:47pm
chresti:

Jill B, somehow I'm not surprised, is there a recording of it?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:47pm
Gary:

It was basically back and forth between two keys (the walking sound) for a few bars, followed by smashing the keyboard with palm (the mouse falling into a crater), if I remember?

Yes, was a truly great pianist years ago. He was composing in high school. Sadly, his writing became his main focus later on.
