My view was, if I didn't like Boulder, I'd keep going west, except I never really wanted to live in the Bay Area.

K.C. and the Bay Area are opposites.

I'm really into California art from the '60s. I like a lot of Bay Area artists, like Nathan Oliveira and Bruce Conner.

In the Bay Area, there was a resurgence of Dixieland jazz in the '40s - there was the Frisco Jazz Band, and Lu Watters and the Yerba Buena Jazz Band.

I am a Bay Area guy, no question.

Well, I grew up in the Bay Area, so I've been in earthquakes before.
