From San Francisco’s 2023 ‘Flower Piano’ in the magical Botanical Garden – organizer Dean Mermell delivering this beautifully impromptu rendition of ‘Life On Mars?’ ahead of official performances.

First released in 1971, ‘Life On Mars?’ was written by David Bowie, a song referencing the intense media coverage of the contemporaneous US-Soviet Union race to reach the planet.
