New set up old names. Amongst the confusion of upgrade it was nice to see familiarity. Nice to read of the reunion of dates. The remeberence of the first circus ride. A throw of the unexpected, the first time. Not as good as it could be, but the best it would ever be. First are always something to reflect on. Age catches up, memerories fade, but the ones we keep, we cherish. I cherish mine. I cherish many....no regrets of a weekend missed, as the bus always idles for those waiting to hop back on. Pauses for the right reasons makes it sweeter when we go back to where we belong. Nice to read the post. No more cavey but change is the only constant. Hope all.yall are doing well. It's a strange place to be knowing where your started. A big thanks to many here. Walked me through hell, forgave my stumbles, and encouraged so many times with keep.on growing at the balck.mountain. my song to rest. And rest we need at times. Regroup, reevaluate, and fight for the beauty of the love we bring. The comfort of knowing it's always here. It moves on with out you, but allows you to come.back on. A continuum....ever last lasting, or at least built to. Carolina contingent. I second thought myself, but ...little league Saturday is more precious. Happy to come back and share my silly words, but more happy to come back and read yours. Stability....and to think we find it in the same but different. Every show, every night. Will make a jubilee a priority. Be nice to dance with you fine people again. To flail. Makes calves tighten just thinking about it. You know my love is not fade away. Happy spring, rebirth, enjoy your back yard carolina!! Sorry. Wants no longer out weigh needs, but eventually need to take a load off. Go hang out with carmin....and go spend some time loosing my twenties ...closer to 50. As always, it makes sense to me....to others, to some, it's in and out, as the garden grows and the sunshine knows, the laughing water, maybe more will eventually get me out the door. Get out of the way, splintered light will indeed come back one day!! Love yall!! How I became other love I dont know, it used to be going back where...... prior sun1869, I guess time does change all. Name change is common for me.

First GD show was 31 years ago tonight. Seems like yesterday and 2 lifetimes ago all at the same time. https://archive.org/details/gd1988-04-11.sbd.miller.91243.sbeok.flac16 It wasn’t until Rosemont that the switch really got flipped but this nite was the 1st nite of the rest of my life ❤️

I knew it was a late eighties show when the rhythm slide guitar on LRR was better than the early eighties show slide work 5 years ago at the Peel. Ha! Just kidding!!! The Brent rap gave it away. The show last night was choice. Shakedown was big and jammed out. The guy behind us started laughing at the heights the music took us in LRR. It didn’t stop there! . There was good deal that went down. No April fooling there. 😜 Victim or the Crime lyrics are so existential, aren’t they? The dilemma over self versus other is such a western concept. I learned there is no “sorry” in Hawaiian culture - it’s “I release” and a return to love, to aloha, to being in pono, or harmony. No judgement. Ha! We have yet to hula- storytell -!about something man builds,; Hula is always telling the story of spirit. ( I have been studying this for 4 years now, if you don’t know) We Can Run/- it was a song along in Asheville. I sang too. It built from there. We clapped and chanted NFA with the bop, bop- bop bop bop. It died down and then a couple of minutes passed and it started back up! What love! Asheville really had a ball last night. There were beautiful couples dancing, families of friends and the whole place really cut a rug. I saw so many familiar beautiful faces last night. A joy of a day! echo effect on Throwing Stones even! So impressive!! Praise DSO!!! Songs of the night for me? Shakedown, Memphis Blues, Playing, Terrapin 🎉and 💕Gimme Some Lovin’ 💕

There is a reconciliation of parties to bring back harmony. However, there is no concept of original sin. You are born a bowl of light and may pick up stones that diminish that light. Once recognized the stones can be removed; just turn over the bowl. The release is of the stone. Release the ill feelings, the patterns etc and come back into a state of love.

My first show, on my 18th birthday. I forgot Victim or the Crime was in there - I've been hoping to hear DSO play that someday.

Reading this makes me excited for black mountain Chuckvegas- this is the year.

I’m just grateful I’m just grateful so many have found Kratom and other means of dealing w the sickness of guilt. It is a sad thing for someone to self identify to the point of taking it all on the shoulders..... we don’t carry anything alone cause there ain’t shit to carry or anyone to carry it anyway. Shit, lady, was so awesome seeing you last night! And thanks for reminding me that Lisa Cat needs a patch also....... oh, so many roads. I miss you guys a lot. I hope this baby mama drama BS wraps up soon so we can get back truckin on. what a killer show. my blood brother still calls me sometimes when he hears Stella on the dead Sirius channel and I’m stoked we gonna actually go over and see him so we can have our first show together at DSO. And my brother can meet my husband. And we can all dance. He woulda taken me to my first show if he hadn’t gotten scared straight in college bc my oldest brother was taking him on tour since he was a lil un. But..... so many roads. Same source. Blessed gratefulness. When I went to my first show at the variety, they played Roses and I told my brother that I “got it” in a psychasilly text afterwards and he told me they played that song at his first show, too, and I am really excited to know that DSO never left any of us behind. Must’ve been.......... I dunno. Kiss kiss

No show without you is as good as a show with you brother. We'll keep that torch burning til you're back in the saddle. Much love.

Ahhh and you got Crazy Fingers...

Great to hear from ya Sunny,,, You really know how to put words together and it is a pleasure to read them,,, and the river keeps on flowing. Peace brother

Tea said it - love you brother! Been a long long time to be gone...

Love you buddy - you have a heart of gold! I’m gonna have to rally in Raleigh since I was really looking forward to seeing you. When we get together it’s like chucking a blue-tip into Gasoline Lake. Hours pass in minutes ..... Have fun with little league proud Papa ❤️

Fond memories of this show. GDTS hooked me up with 2nd row center. I basked in the glow of the Big Man all night. Praise DSO.

Thanks Greg, I'm traveling the elegant way this time, taking the train. Pretty much what it would cost me if I was driving, after gas and tolls. Would prefer to take the truck and sleep in back but couldn't find reliable 24 hour access parking, not worth it to pay for parking and someplace to sleep, got a reasonably priced air bnb. Looking forward to not driving 😎

Heads up. Traffic around DC could be problematic. Allow for the clusterfuck factor.
