In the chilly hours and minutes

Of uncertainty

I want to be

In the warm hold of your lovin’ mind.


To feel you all around me

And to take your hand

Along the sand,

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.


When sundown pales the sky

I want to hide a while

Behind your smile,

And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find.


For me to love you now

Would be the sweetest thing,

‘T would make me sing,

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.


When rain has hung the leaves with tears

I want you near to kill my fears,

To help me to leave all my blues behind.


For standin’ in your heart

Is where I want to be

And long to be,

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.


Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.


RIP Wilmar

He was a TREASURE ……a Morro Bay TREASURE for sure. Loved hearing him at the Dockside Two….just a wonderful man. His wonderful family is a tribute to all his guidance and family values…..and I imagine he touched many of us in many ways….in personal ways….surely a life so well lived. Thank you Mr. Tognazinni for all the ways you enriched and touched each and everyone of us in your very special way! Godspeed and many blessings….and my heartfelt condolences to all of the Tognazinni family.

Wilmar Tognazinni was one of the most knowledgeable, generous, kind and interesting people that Morro Bay has ever seen. He leaves a large legacy behind. Between family and the many students that he helped while he was the principal of Morro Bay Elementary, he has so many people who will miss seeing him. He was a great believer in learning and wrote a history of San Luis Obispo County which can still be found in the libraries today. He loved music and sharing with people. Morro Bay has lost a real treasure.
