about

Written in Folsom, CA, California Breezes sprung out of my wanderings from the rainforests of Humboldt and the deserts of Borrego Springs to the windy grasslands of Paso Robles and the soft coastal mountain ranges--all making an impression of a land much like the soul and spirit of a woman.

lyrics

CALIFORNIA BREEZES

California breezes
Shake your raven hair
Smile that smile of pleasure
That would be noticed anywhere

She came in over the ranges
She came in over the sea
She’s got mixed up with moonlight
And some ancient mystery

And in our seaside tower
It’s a dance no dance can be
And I can only watch with wonder
As she walks in the evening breeze

And she turns in a certain fashion
And her lips seem so full of life
Her hips twitch like a kitten’s
And her eyes burn dark and bright
She says, there’s a storm comin honey
You need to hold me tight

I came in here from nowhere
Even the wind didn’t know my name
I feel flocks of birds sailing
Over a sea of black and gold

Tropical winds a-blowing
Across this planetary soul
Nighttime curtain is falling
The stars are turning blue and cold
Come here honey and touch me
And make this moment unfold

California breezes
Shake your raven hair
Smile that smile of pleasure
That would be noticed anywhere…

about

Mark Browning Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Born into a military family, I have traveled all my life. Must have gotten into my blood. Never cared much for routine. I started out in biology, collecting reptiles for zoos and museums, but then traveled. Pruned apple trees in NY, farmed wheat in WA, painted houses in Key West, drove truck in NYC, published articles in magazines, hiked the Amazon and Andes... writing songs the whole time. ... more
