Songwriter View: Songs For My Daddy-O
By Patty Castillo Davis
I was singing before I could walk. My household was made vibrantly alive and musically influential because of my parents. My Father, Alonzo Castillo is a transplant from Corpus Christi, Texas who fell madly in love with a California girl and the California Sound. The Doobie Brothers, Santana, The Eagles and the Queen Of Everything, Linda Ronstadt were the 70’s soundtrack during my upbringing. My Dad said Joe Jones’ hit from 1960, “You Talk Too Much” and Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” from 1969 are songs for me. Thanks, Dad for the gifts of music.
A personal shoutout to Cindy Lashbrook for her beautiful Riverdance Farms “Pick and Gather” event in Livingston. She includes conservation, art, music and brings sustainability to her community. It’s a joy to be invited to perform on June 1 and 2. For info visit riverdancefarms@gmail.com
