That’s the theme of this year’s Fillmore Jazz Festival on July 1 and 2, in honor Sof the 50th anniversary of that impactful, inspired time in 1967 — its epicenter in San Francisco, with the Fillmore being ground zero. Seminal albums were released by Jef- ferson Airplane, The Doors, Jimi Hen- drix, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and many more, while a number of important bands were being formed — including Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Sly and the Family Stone, NRBQ, Chicago and Cre- dence Clearwater Revival. The Human Be-In took place here with spoken word by Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary and music by Big Brother and the Holding Company, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. The San Francisco Oracle, an under- ground newspaper published in 12 issues during that time, noted: “A new concept of celebrations beneath the human under- ground must emerge, become conscious, and be shared, so a revolution can be formed with a renaissance of compassion, awareness and love — and the revelation of unity for all mankind.” Perhaps this summer is the time to col- lectively take a page from our past — to embrace this unifying message of com- passion and community, as important today as it was a half-century ago.

S“People have been coming out of the woodwork,” says Hatsy Yasukochi, co-owner of the Sweet Stop with her husband Moses. With a smile of surprise she adds: “Mostly gentlemen, from all around 2390 Bush St. (at Steiner) t (415) 567-7824 t Free Parking Pacific Heights. They say, ‘I remember Coffee Crunch Cake from Blum’s — I didn’t know you were here!’ ” She likes to point out that she and her baker-husband have been in business for 43 years — “but there’s only this one small window on Sutter Street with our sign, so I guess people don’t notice.” More sweet-toothed customers apparently now know about the Sweet Stop, which is tucked into a corner of Yasuaki Miura’s Super Mira Market at the corner of Sutter and Buchanan. “When the story first came out,” says Derrick Leong, who is helping out at the counter during his summer break from college, “at least three or four people a day would mention it when they were placing their orders.” Hatsy Yasukochi reports having had many comments on the story, which was picked up by Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik. All but one were favorable. The exception was granddaughter Amanda, who was inadvertently omitted from the list of Yasukochi offspring. Amanda lives in Burlingame with her parents, Michael and Stacey Nolan, is in sixth grade at Burlingame Intermediate School, and loves to help Grandma Hatsy and Grandpa Moses at the Sweet Stop bakery whenever she gets a chance. — Fran Moreland Johns THE NEW FILLMORE P.
