Hello Mr. Fogerty - I wanted to ask you a quick question about your time in El Cerrito. Specifically, my Dad, Steve, lived down the street from you - and was close friends with your brother Danny. They both went to the same elementary school, in fact. He recalls one day - after the Giants had won, I believe the 1962 Pennant, he and Danny were out front, when you came running out shouting "The Giants won the pennant!" - do you have any recollection of that? Was the Giants loss to the Yankees in the World Series - the impetus for the phrase "coon skin caps and yankee bats" in "I Saw it on TV" related to that series by any chance?

As an aside - your music has been incredibly important to me and my family for a long time. We've seen you live a couple of times - and hope to do so again!

Thanks! I've always loved that song because it really takes me through the 50s and 60s - an era I didn't experience personally - but that I heard all about from my Dad. I've also, of course, become a displaced Giants fan - it's been a great 5 years! Thanks again for all the music.
