Greg from Chestertown

Thank you. You are not alone. The good news is that you rediscovered what makes you happy, brings you peace. You have a vehicle out. If your cup is full, ......

Watch out for those Sunday shows. I just got my gold ticket for Sunday show. Come on, Baby, let the good times roll !!!

I just scored a miracle! I walked into Walgreens to ask about the vaccine. I knew the girl working there. She had some extras, hooked me up. I got my vaccination! She asked me a few questions, one of which was wether I worked through out the entire pandemic. I said yes. That makes me a front line worker. Go figure.

I think that just means we’re going to start seeing Bill Gates at Dark Star shows. He is a curious man.

Agreed. I usually don’t do spring tour because work gets in the way but there comes a time.....

I do but I think a lot of that has to do with reading something about the song where it is loosely associated with that book or the characters in it. I love that song, perfect show opener. Robert Hunter captured lightning in a bottle with that one. The mental imagery that is painted with those lyrics is incredible for me. I just fucking love that tune.

How ‘bout an old Redd Foxx joke bust out? Two women are talking. One asks the other one there, ‘do you smoke after sex?’ The other one answers, ‘I don’t know, I never looked.’

Not the Grateful Dead but would’ve it be nice to see Lisa do Janis doing ‘Won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz’. I’m not so sure she hasn’t already.

They were about to play that cave in Tennessee (?) right before lockdown hit. It would be nice to see that come to fruition. Yea, that needs to happen

Standin’ on the moon, add it to the list.

I just took the time to listen to the ‘sing me back home’ clip and revel in the beautiful memories. It brought me to tears, just as it did when DSO did it as a filler, Not long after she had her stroke, in Dewey about three and a half years ago. I was front and center, awash in the beauty of that song and the delivery by the band. No one did more for me than my mother. I did have the benefit of being the youngest child of an Irish woman. She would drive me from North Wilmington to the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, watch me climb through a hole in the chain link fence, cross the off ramp, on my way to skateboard the drainage ditches around the highway there. She would come back a few hours later to pick me up. That would get you handcuffs these days. Later that same day, dinner was on time and delicious. Sorry about your loss, AC. I believe that a long life, well lived is worthy of a celebration, even though the sudden finality can be overwhelming for us who are left here.

Sing me back home death don’t have no mercy

My mother passed away yesterday afternoon. Of all of the many thoughts as I mourn her passing, I keep coming back to one happy thought that I think we all could relate to. I’m trying to envision the perfect song list for the funeral of a mother. Franklin’s Tower Mama tried Big Railroad Blues Brokedown Palace That’s all I got so far. Feel free to jump in and add to the list.

As a local businessman (Joe the Barber) in Wilmington, De., my father would meet with Joe Biden on occasion, to give him a pulse on the local community. This happened more so in the beginning of his career as a Senator. My sister knocked door to door for his first campaign. I have heard him speak about the importance of family to the point that his entire body was shaking when I was just a boy. What you see is what you get with Joe Biden. How he speaks today is his core. It always has been. While I honestly believe that he is more frail than strong, I hope that he can lead us out of this hell that we find ourselves in. Let the youth take us forward once we get to stable ground.

David Essex, Rock on.

Don’t forget, he leads the world in trying to golf, also. Congrats on the new born child, Rude. Raising a child is the hardest thing you’ll ever do and the best thing you’ll ever do. My daughter is due on June 2nd. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather, especially, since I have looked like one for so long.

Shakedown on way to commercial, commercial was playing hard to handle, tonight’s game. Pretty sure GD never played those two in that order. Sounds like maybe a DSO elective. Anybody?

Just turned the chiefs game on in time to catch Tony Romo quoting Jerry, if the thunder don’t get you, the lightening will. Infiltration is complete.

Saint of circumstance

Cumberland!

Estimated studio version on way to commercial on tonight’s game.

I don’t know you but now believe that I do after reading that, going back to where. You are the same as me. I read it as you probably wrote it, with a stream of conscience. Thank you. I needed that. It was read while 11/30/80 played alongside me. Space into the wheel into China doll. A warm embrace from more than six feet away.

I checked that one out this morning. I love the feelin groovy jam of the ‘73 China Ryders. I also noted a late first set Row Jimmy. I love the ‘broken heart don’t feel so bad’ lyric. If that don’t sum it up nothing does. Followed by a lyric that is some of the best advice ever given. Not too fast and not too slow.....
