Hmmm... Herdy Gerdy and Velvet Thunders b-days today. Have not seen either in a very long time. Guess Velvet is enjoying German Alps, while Herdy has dropped off the map. Two people who I know loved and supported DSO from its early days. Wish both a happy B-day. Hoping both are doing well and doing what they love. Remember Herdy Jam in the Sand-----all I can say is smurfs----nothing more funny!!! Except when Rob B saw me helping Resort security get into a balcony room. Nothing more awkward than security standing on your shoulders to enter a room. What happened to master key? Big place and not enough time to get in to make sure someone was ok. Some people find themselves in places they do not want to be but are there because they are the person who should be--at that moment. What a ride that year was.
Velvet---always has had her own beat to drum. A friend tells a funny story of picking her up from airport in the south. Sitting on the corner playing a mandolin. The kind of scene you saw when the circus was in town. It was the time when DSO drawled me in. A semblance of when the original played. Not strange, but different was around. It was a always that safety net you felt. The excitement to know your brothers and sisters were around.
Happy B-day to both!!!
