Wow! I really enjoyed the combination of interesting footage and great music. Could you please post who played and perhaps which version.

Anyway, Thanks.

The music is Remember -- Benny Goodman -- The Birth of Swing (1935-36) Disc 2.

if the think the TL is bad today you should have seen it in 1975.

and the cable car turntable area is still one of the most fun places i;ve ever been. and it's safe.

It is both wonderful and heartbreaking to see this considering that same stretch of road is now littered with aggressive bums, crackheads, and other trash.

the cars and the hats may be different but the market street bustle is still the same thats for sure.

Yeah ! People had their own individual style back then. No backwards baseball caps and sports team logo shirts.

love that 37 chevy pickup shooting out there. I have one original unrestored with original 37 calif. lic. plates. see how all the women wore hats and dressed up downtown. now its winos, freaks, and just a empty cold place.
