Sharyn Maceren, "In The Sunlight"

162.205.183.92

10 years ago, I worked at a public high school on the Peninsula. One of the benefits was that staff openly talked about and shared music. And that's how I learned that Sharyn Maceren had come out with new material. And then she made a video for "In The Sunlight." It starts out with a view of Alcatraz, and, totally unreal, the forecast called for rain. But then Maceren, in a yellow bikini, goes to what appears some empty Northern California beach.

The school would tap into its Stanford connections, to take students on field trips. And outside of work, staff got along well, hung out as friends. I tried to take advantage, and go with them, whenever they went to the coast.

We believe that Maceren is Visayan. Not sure what, if any, connection she has to the Bay Area. She is perhaps best known for "Hard To Get," which, in 2002, was popular in perhaps S.F., L.A., and parts of Texas.

The video had a bikini clad girl to maker up for the lack of bikini clad girl pics in the post. The song was a little "pop" for me. But it got me thinking of this one.

- Bikini haul had a major impact - Luminator 22:22:53 03/19/24 (2)
  In some of my product reviews, this story has been told. When the Spring 1990 quarter was coming to an end, my friend and classmate, Kim, left me her home phone number. She told me that, before I was to move back for the Fall 1990 quarter, to call her at home. I obliged, and it turned out that both of us would be living in dorms (but in different residential colleges).
  Upon move-in, Kim and I got together. Shortly thereafter, she flagged down her girlfriends: Ngoc, Pauline, Quyen, and Tuyet. I had just come back from Honolulu, but had left my swimwear there. The ones I had in CA were old and ugly. So I said I was going to go into Santa Cruz, and shop for swimwear. All 5 girls followed me. I tried on various board shorts and trunks, looked terrible in most.
  It turned out that the girls were dying to hit the beaches, but, like me, had ill-fitting swimwear. Because my family was from Hawaii, I knew more about bikinis, than Kim and her friends did. We did a bikini haul. Each of the girls had different body type. As the girls tried on different models, colors, sizes, styles - it hit me. Ideally, audio cables should have as little sound of their own, as possible. But in the real world, the cables were far from accurate. That being the case, like finding the right bikini, we audiophiles needed to find the right cables.
  As we got deeper into college, I would bring audio products down to Santa Cruz. Kim and Tuyet ended up spending many many hours with me, listening to music, evaluating the audio products. It was Tuyet, who pushed me over the edge, pulled out the "stop being a pussy" card, and got me to order an AudioQuest Lapis. Said AQ Lapis became the product audiophiles would reach out the most to me about.
  Anyway, ten years ago, while working at the public high school, Sharyn Maceren appeal to both our millennial teachers and Gen Z students. Maceren had a slow song, "He."

    - Joy Williams went to school in Santa Cruz Co. - Luminator 16:48:54 03/21/24 (0)
      Santa Cruz's beaches, and for good reason, tend to get the attention.
      
      But Joy Williams lived 8 miles north of the main beach, in the hills of Felton. And then, she actually went to high school in San Jose.
      
      Between UCSC and Felton is Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. The San Lorenzo River (more like a stream) flows through the park, kind of parallel to State Route 9. Back in college, we liked to hike along, and go into, the river. Actually, lots of Joy Williams' music feels right at home, when you go into those woods.
      
      I was unaware, that Joy Williams has won 4 Grammies.
