San Franciscan Nights

Spoken: “This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San 
Francisco. Who may not know it, but they are beautiful - and so is their city. 
This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it particularly 
those of you who are European residents - save up all your bread and fly Trans- 
Love Airways to San Francisco, USA. Then maybe you'll understand the song. 
It will be worth it - if not for the sake of this song. But for the sake of 
your own peace of mind.”
