La Mesa – A City ‘Deserving’ An Anthem. Original from the La Mesa Centennial.
I thought up this little ditty while walking to work today. This is a tribute to the great work done by the San Diego recording trio Public Eye, inspired by their tribute to East County. This one’s for you, Silly D.
The song is in the ‘planning stages’ still and ‘has some work to be done,’ but I’ll be sure to let you know when it ‘gets recorded.’1
