Good morning.

(If you don’t already get California Today delivered to your inbox, here’s the sign-up.)

Yesterday, our visual editors took us on a trip through the Bay Area’s music scenes through the decades.

Today, we’re visiting Southern California with images of some of the state’s most iconic artists.

As always, feel free to send us your picks for our California Soundtrack playlist. Have a song you love that makes you feel connected to the Golden State?

Write 100 words telling us why and email us at CAToday@nytimes.com, along with your name, age and where you live, and we may publish your thoughts in a future newsletter.
