Tom Banjo

We are awaiting the pathology report. They know it’s cancer. They believe it’s advanced and aggressive but they won’t say anything about median life expectancy until they get the pathology report. She had another MRI last night to see how well they did removing the tumor. We will have those results tonite. Pathology tonite or tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your story.

So how to begin. How to capture this terrible emotion? How’d do I tell the story when the words are so hard to write These last two shows I’ve been carrying myself with a real heavy heart. My mom needs your prayers. She was diagnosed with brain cancer. It’s life sentence. I can’t explain how the songs resonate other to say that Terrapin is heaven and I know my mom will be there much sooner than I’m ready to handle. Ready to accept. Have even truly begun to understand. But whether it one day or 3 years its time to cherish every 2nd of mom. Nobody has ever loved like my mom does. Nobody ever will. So as her body becomes a brokedown palace I pray for the river to sing her sweet sweet songs. I really appreciate the love and support many of you have already shared with me. Big big thanks to Rob B and DSO for all you’ve done for me and looking at for me and my family as I work my way through this. I have so much I want to say and share but it’s all so fresh. I don’t even understand. How to talk about something I haven’t grasped yet. I truly hope I don’t have to update this heartfelt cry for many years. We will see what tomorrow brings but she’s still here and I need to get with it and be there and cherish it. Love is real

Seems to happen more than you think. Night before we get on bus. The show drops. See ya tonite. Jealous

I thought this was fire

Apparently I came close here

I plan to find it in Black Mountain.

My lady says I discovered something in Jamaica and every show since I’ve been searching for the discovery.

I caught the Charlotte stadium show. Always wanted to do Rochester but it never worked out.

Looks tasty

Plus you almost guaranteed a one drummer show with some pigpen. I love those shows. However watch Dso figure out how to get 2 drum sets on stage since now 2 of us have mentioned the one drummer aspect.

I wouldn’t say the band loves it. They always play smoking shows there. Like they used to at the 930. Crowded. Loud. Lots of beer spills. Ive heard it referred to as dowehaveto beach. However they sell out week nights there. They venue takes care of them financially and like I said they always smoke those shows. Definitely worth going. We went last year. We gonna stay in ocean city this year for family time.

Show looked fun. Nice breakout. Great 77 set list. Can’t catch them all but excited to catch back up with the band. See you guys in Atlantic City. Maybe to ne real cliche DSO could breakout Springsteen’s Atlantic City done more in the vein of the Band.

Cali kind will be solid. I will probsbly spend some time over there during the day as long as we can come and go. The kids will like being outside with the music. Good chance to catch up with friends and such. But no of course just like Jubilee I’m there for DSO and if I’m only there when DSO plays that’s just fine with me. On this camping thing. Never had camping here before. Always been one of the best of times. Most of us make our plans for sleep pretty early on for this weekend as this is a pretty special one for many of us. I don’t think they needed to add camping to add bands. They aren’t selling this as camping festival but they are giving us a bit more to enjoy. Just my two cents. Most people either to Super 8 or KOA. Some of us will get Airbnb places and such. Usually some pretty epic after show hangs at the super 8 and in some of these houses if you fortunate to catch the invite. So many different memories from late night super 8

Miss you guys. Happy anniversary.

Wow rude can’t even remember the last time i saw you dance. Come to Jamaica I haven’t slowed down a bit.

Have to more carefully pick my spots now. I did drive straight home from jubilee with a stop in Carbondale after the festival. Roughly 28 hours.

Original. Elective

Just pulled into an east Brunswick hotel. 4 hour drive after show was just about the he max I could handle. I am seeing hazy.

Dew 2nd set closet was perfect. Delilah was born with morning dew playing off a doctors pandora GD radio station or something like that.

I’ll be on our left at BM. A little further back then the true dance party. You can fiind me next to a stroller. Delilah will be with us. Also look for cute dishwasher blonde chick with baby.

Awesome venue. Original sauce. Great time.

We missed you too. My old east coast road dog.

I love Rude style. My lady would probably prefer it that way but I probably play it closer to the chest like likeeveryone and I love his spirit. We gonna get down all sorts of big tonite.

All this talk of driving. I drove 10 hours on no sleep for estimated on. Worth every penny. Although still remember shining in that shakedown at penns.

Fuck it. Might as well throw Colorado into the mix. What about Jubilee almost West
