I was so happy to hear the Weight! Indeed, take a load off. Hot, hot day 🔥; I should have taken to a shower 💦in the hose earlier than Sunday after Melvin and JGB. Pushed like an air cooled van without a fan. The water in VIP bathroom was even hot 🔥out the spigot. Too much yang for my liver and heart. It stole from my pancreatic chi. Luckily I am learning some Qigong exercises to bring those meridians in balance from my kumu, my hula teacher.
Still, it was a lovely day of OKOA driving the day before and camped in the same two spots again (from 2 years before!!) with a fellow Terriers at the KOA. The fields 🌼all around were aglow with 🌼yellow flowers 🌼 resembling yarrow. They had reminded me of Jack Straw. The lazy Ohio River has cut dale and valley to the South, and we rode hills like rollercoasters 🎢 in the vans.

This show swayed and had a lovely turning Wheel 🎰, crisp All Along the Watchtower 🎪and jumping Jack Straw ðŸŽto slay. Reminded me of tour in 1992.
The rain delay the next day turned prudence (our "tardiness" to camp and a slower paced show for the weary) into a disappointing problem, or was it an opportunity? Sure. Breezes high on the hill. No rivers through camp as our inner superheroes, resembling Triton, corralled and funneled water left and right, up and around our camp. Wish we could have videotaped that one. Could’ve been at the gates earlier than they opened; however, while practicing prudence and respect, we were flung like a slingshot from Mars. There was a franticness to get there as I started receiving calls and messages the gates were open early. If we had camped lower on the hill, further down in the field, there is a possibility the van would have gotten stuck in the mushier ground. I would have liked to be a little lower and closer to the bowl. My camp tended to stay in camp and listen, while I wandered down.
And who can the weather command? Well, our setlist for one thing for night 2. Make hay while the sun is shining, for sure. The shows in Buffalo and Princeton really shined by the looks of their setlists. Yet, night two, the band brought a fantastic show. really good energy, proving it is never too late to be early; i.e. play the early years. I have to say I am disappointed that night 2 didn't get the time for DSO to play and bring it like I know they can.
Legend Valley is so amazing. Thank you DSO for the reunion and the beauty. Good to rest my bones and taking me to a place where I can easily see my face., to a simple place. Know I love you baby, yes I do.
