Eat a Peach and the birth of the Pinellas Peach
Why did we name our Real Estate Blog The Pinellas Peach? Honestly, we’re still confused about it, but it does have it’s roots somewhere with the old Allman Brothers album – Eat A Peach.
My mom started her musical writing career in San Francisco when I was just out of diapers. She spent many years at Rolling Stone Magazine frolicking in rock and roll, and later was a publicist for Fantasy Records in Berkeley - the record label that originally released the Eat a Peach album. So, it’s all my mother’s fault – for planting the love of music and writing – and surrounding me with self-proclaimed Peach Heads and other hippie nuts. I somehow managed to remain sane, escaped the exentricities of the west coast, and landed in beautiful Palm Harbor, FL.
What does any of this have to do with Tampa Bay Real Estate? Absolutely Nothing, but sharing the origins of The Peach must be done just this once. I promise!
Mom was the worst real estate investor you ever met. Somewhere along the way, I realized my passion and saavy for real estate, and met my match with my husband and business partner, Matt, who’s just as absoluately crazed about the business as I am. Helping people realize their dreams in buying and selling real estate is as much fun as listening to a great old album on the I-Pod with a cold one smuggled on to the beach at Caladesi Island.
In some small way, and I’m not quite sure how, The Pinellas Peach is a tribute to mom and her passion for writing – and our personal mission to not to let others make the same bad real estate investment decisions that she did.
Sorry, Mom – I had to throw you under the bus.
