I sometimes daydream that I'll one day buy a piece of land back in the hills of Monterey and spend my last days smelling the sweet breeze and hearing the ocean. It's where I started this life, so it's special to me.
I recall visiting my maternal uncle's chicken ranch in Anaheim in the early 1950's and being awakened by the crowing of roosters. My mother described the ranch as being "way out in the country." One of his customers was Knott's Berry Farm, and if you ordered a chicken dinner there in the 1950's, chances are that you ate one of his chickens. Today, a storage area of Disneyland occupies the site of his ranch.
In 1963, finally having had it with the smog and the freeways being built through his property, he moved up to Pacific Grove, where for $30,000, he bought a large home on a big lot, complete with Monterey cypress trees and a view of the ocean. He spent the rest of his life there.

This is one I remember as a small child:
"One is The Lonliest Number" by Three Dog Nigh (1969).

:-) (He doctored the song up a bit. I was thinking at first that you made up his name. It sounds like, "I've Ben Colder, but I really can't remember when". It is going to be -21° tonight.)

I recall visiting my maternal uncle's chicken ranch in Anaheim in the early 1950's and being awakened by the crowing of roosters. My mother described the ranch as being "way out in the country." All of my grandparents lived in SoCal, so that was our family's base. I well remember when parts of Anaheim were "way out in the country."
On trips down to that area, we'd often stop at road side vegetable stands and get roasted peanuts, watermelons, cantaloupes, berries, etc. I can still remember the (seemingly) endless fields and orchards off the road side.
Today, it's solid city mass from Santa Clarita, all the way past Santa Ana and beyond.
Your uncle is like a lot of folks who get crowded out by encroaching cities. They finally sell out to the developers and move further out to get their peace and serenity back.
The same process is underway right now in my own town outside of Dallas, Texas. My wife and I drove around for hours outside of town looking for a good rural area to buy our next place.

Lovely - just perfect. Glad you liked it. It's one of my favorite renditions of the song. It's got a slightly haunting aspect to it, due to the subtle changes the guitarist made to the chord structure.

In 2013, I visited Waxahachie. That seems to be well away from the urban sprawl of Dallas. Waxahachie is nice, but too far south, and way too far away from business for my needs. I'm looking east-northeast of the metroplex. There's a whole lot of pretty acreage east of Dallas County.

Another popular song from 1966-67 was FARMER JOHN I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER. Took me a minute, but that one came back to me. It was a fun tune.
