On Feb. 14th we’re releasing “Hangtown Fry,” CD which includes a song about that dish. It’s all about the oyster-laden omelet popularized in the California Gold Country in the 1860s, and still popular today all across the country — but particularly the west coast. The song is funky, catchy, and a natural for use in publicizing the 2012 Arcata Oyster Festival. Feel free to email me about it . . .
Best,

next time, I will try to proof my masgese. It is difficult to type at night. I hope to be back your way for some more oysters with my sister who lives in the bay area. Last time I was there, we drove out to Tamales Bay for some oysters. They were great too, but there was something very special about the Hama hamas.

I am from Ashland Oregon. My wife and I were in Gig Harbour for a bhrditay party on February 20th. On the 21st, before heading back south, we drove over to your farm. I brought 4 dozen oysters back to Portland were shucked and dined with my father-in-law. It was the first time I had Hama Hamas, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The oysters were perfect. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you. I also want to give a particular thanks to the woman who helped me with my oyster puchase. She was very helpful.Thanks again. The oysters were the best!
