Otis’ “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” was conceived when he was living in Sausalito, not long after his famous Monterey Pop performance. He didn’t live to see the song come out; his plane crashed into Lake Monona in Madison, WI. I thought often of him when I was in school there, and these days I think about the song whenever I see a ship roll in, or roll out. I’ve seen it a few times but it’s still magical to watch one steam into the sunset.
