San Francisco Bay brand - One of my favorite coffees!

San Francisco Bay brand coffee

From Rogers Gourmet Coffee & Tea Market, San Francisco Bay brand is made from a very dark French Roast blend of coffee beans grown in Central and South America that is savory to the last sip! This is Rogers own 'Flagship Line' of coffee with an intense, smokey flavor - not for the faint of heart! Comes in 3 lb bags of whole beans - available at discount prices at Costco stores in the western US!

This is a great coffee to mix with a Louisiana chickory blend such as Cafe Du Monde or French Market Roast! I use both as they are BOTH awesome!

Guitar Music!

On a search of the web I found some neat tunage I hope you'll enjoy. I am always looking for that next great guitar record and that next great blend of coffee! Lately I have been mixing them up some and it's very interesting and satisfying to the palate. More to come!

Jerry Swallow - Teleride



Teleride barely saw the light of day and was never an official commercial release by Jerry Swallow who died back in 2003. He was a very gifted and talented guitarist who was well known in country and rock circles as well as Contemporary Christian Music. He toured and recorded with many acts over three decades including Tom Jans, Michael Nesmith, Randy Meisner, Olivia Newton John, Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker as well as Darrell Mansfield and Dennis Agajanian. Teleride is a mix of Swallow originals as well as some chesnuts which are great covers.

Welcome to The Coffee Hound Blog!

Welcome to my blog. It's just a simple page to share simple things mostly. Pour yourself a good cup of Joe and check back here once in awhile. I have no idea where this is all going or even what the theme is. Coffee is a staple in my house and I like music, particularly guitar music. I am into God as well since He is the creator of music. Perhaps I'll post some interesting articles as they appear with links to good tunage. I like hot sauce and good spicy foods just like I like my music. We'll see what the future holds.
