Jamaica

[Mango]

Must have sucked seeing as no one has anything to say about it...

[Tom Banjo]

I will have more to say later. best dance experience I've had since jamaica last year. No talkers. No people standing in your way. Just all dead lovers.

Their hardened livers are likely still recovering.

Apparently there was a Cornell 77 redo but my sources have always been lousy.

I had the Carribean cold go full blown flu on me. I want to share some more details and insights but currently, walking and breathing seem like a lot to ask.

I am not aware of your symptoms but lately the viruses percolating seem rather persistent. A preparation of NAC, n-acetyl cysteine, which is an amino acid can be effective in the following among other uses: chronic bronchitis and the flu and H1N1. Find it at your local supplement store. Check it out on WebMD.

Hope you feel better soon Rick

[Evangeline]

I have been recovering! It was a magical Jam n the Sand III. The music was otherworldly--DSO took it to another level. What amazing musicians they are and there is no better feeling than standing in the sand with a light breeze blowing on you from across the water while you listen to Barton Hall! Keller is always a treat--he is a wonderfully talented guy and always comes up with new and interesting stuff. The Nelson Band is absolutely incredible--such a world of talent jam-packed into that band! It was my third and best JITS and life at its best. Swimming in gorgeous tropical water, relaxing in the Cove, listening to the best music in the world. What more can anyone ever wish for? I feel very fortunate indeed!!

Did a game of thrones marathon stuck in the house the last 3 days with 14" snow. I suggest milk of the poppy. Talk to your house's Maester.

[Tom Banjo]

I felt like I was having dope withdrawals for 2 days without the vomiting (I haven't been doing any dope). Headache, chills, cold sweats, and incredibly low energy. Felt somewhat better today. I will get by.

[Weather Command]

Ya Rick...even worse than appears..checked into the hospital yesterday with cellulitis. Had a small cut on my foot and a bug, flea or parasite from water decided to host my foot..not good...I am praying I can leave tomorrow. .I truly am so blessed for the great health I've had for all the years. .I would post a picture but don't think that would get an applause...had a grate time in Jamaica and will do her again..

[Tom Banjo]

Good vibes for crazydigits. Love ya buddy. Hope all works out and you get well fast. Great seeing you in jamaica.

[Weather Command]

you to Mason Jr.

 

I hope you feel better as well...spent a little over 2 days in there. It was worse than the joint....did a lot of thinking and would like to make some changes everywhere.... I am grateful to be out and my foot continues to look better than the day before. peace.

It took awhile for me to reach the epiphany point. Nirvana. Whatever your word is to describe pure bliss, but I got there. Many nights when I listen to the Grateful Dead at home or go to see DSO I almost feel like they are singing my story. I'm Jack Straw and easy Jim all in the same night. I've spent a night in Mexicali and I'm gonna spend my life with the Blues. Don't even talk about borrowing from the devil. These nights are great, but they aren't perfect. If they are singing my story, I'm stuck on my story and stuck in my head. I can't separate my experience from myself. I can be happy. I can be sad and on nights where they tell my story, I occupy the whole array of emotions. It's the most common space I enter at a DSO show. It keeps me completely engaged in the show. The first 3 nights, especially the first 2 electric, I was in this space. The acoustic night, I may have been less than engaged. The recreation of Barton Hall was different.

I felt like a child throughout the whole show. My fears, my loves, and my concerns had all subsided. I was in the zone. They weren't telling me my story, but I was hanging on every word of Jeff and Rob's story and interpreting every note with a twist and turn of my body. I don't need to rehash the setlist. Everyone here knows the show. Instead of searching for myself through the songs, I became the music and I don't mean the lyrics. The notes were taking my soul higher and higher into the ethos. I gave every ounce of energy I had to give. In return, I was allowed to enter into an empty space maybe more appropriately a blank place. No pressures, no desires, just light, love, and fullness found in a totally empty space. I could barely stand towards the end of the show and then the Dew. Nirvana is over. The ugliest and most beautiful aspects of what it means to be alive and human return. You can't help but feel a tinge of guilt for the time you spent outside this world. I was music. I was dance. My body was only the vessel. Present and cognizant, but not, all at the same time. A true out of body experience. The Dew shoves you back into your body. As you realize the refrain is wrong, it does matter and it has mattered and hopefully I (we) can help others see that it does matter, tears rain from my eyes. Happy, sad, and triumphant all at the same time. I will never forget the joy DSO has brought me Jamaica. The experience can't be put in words.

As I'm sure you know Rick, we've been waiting to hear your story. As usual you did not dissapoint. You did put it into words, very eloquently I might add. Thanks for the journey brother!

[Tom Banjo]

Thanks. I'm sure more to come soon. 

[Mango]

Well said, MC. I definitely relate to what you are saying. My best shows I enter into a space of no thought. I don't frequently get there nor do I expect to but it sure is something when it happens. We all have stories.... It's nice, sometimes, to disidentify from them and go beyond.

still think it sucked mango?

[Tom Banjo]

I find a blank place to be more than just no thought. There's euphoria and a sense of enlightenment with it. The place beyond human thought. total serenity

[Mango]

yea, that!
