The format has changed so much since my frequent log ons.....dont know how to navigate. But, I do know, this weekend and the thrill of it had me up at 4am this morning. Like Christmas when I was 6!! Who can sleep with the anticipation. Giving up Richmond for blk mountain. Cant wait to see so many faces. The past years have aged me faster than the touring ever did. Can not wait to hit the road, get up with the Carolina contingent, and shake some bones. Love that the music will never stop. Life long friends, familure faces, and good times. Hope many of yall are ready for some sweaty hugs, as age may being showing, but my dancing remains youthful, and the spark yall bring will defintely light this sun up. Ready to shine and orbit around you beautiful stars!! Vice versa!! F..n....love this stuff!! Copperfield ain't got nuten on this type of magic!! This magic is no illusion, and it's always there!! Safe travels all....ready to kick up some wood chips at blk mountain!! And.....dont camp at koa unless u want to be called a child, while your child is sleeping in a tent, just to wake up to find out he had chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!! He still remembers that, and how I got upset....but your friends gave them to me dad. Dont lie son, I'm not, and he wasn't. Will bring all three one day, but this trip, just me, myself and i....and that's plenty!!

And thank Bobby, as velvet thunder would.never be the same. Lighting has to strike fast to catch up with how much the messin with the reason actually makes it fun to be living!! Double dose at any pace....because the I am is ever dependent on the one who follows the path to the river. Silly to not read behind to understand the now, but comment moving forward...I prefer the furthur, past was then , words are now, and dance is in the future!!

2nd stage? Did they cut down trees? Where do room. See yall in heaven, even if its packed. How did I turn into other love, I thought I was a sunny going back to where I belong. And I am. Weather report looks great, boxed in between rain last to I looked.

Both were good, the Bird Song and all of set two were the highlights for me. Good rap during Lovelight by Rob B. Had a good hoedown during set two, as Bill mentioned 😀

I have the second night of 8/13/19 up on Archive for your streaming and downloading pleasure. https://archive.org/details/dso2019-08-13.dso2019-08-13.Neumannkm184.Cook.flac16

Love you brother. I know it's tough. We want our children to know where their parents came from. I dont know the extent of it all, but I know its serious. Can never shed that weight, but...I do hope we can help to make the weight a little lighter for a brief moment. Thoughts and prayers when the new was shared last night. You get my first sweaty hug. We met at black mtn, 2 songs into first set and you told me I looked like I was 12 songs in. Did not matter the banter or challenges previous on this site. I believe there was a immediate respect we both acknowledged. People care about you brother, which means we care about all that is you. Hopefully some time to chat, as I know you have your hands full. If not, you know the cup of love is always filled. C u soon!!

I loved your story. I will have my family with me. We look forward to this event. I need some light in the midst of the darkness. It will be good to dance and enter into open space to feel and just ride the emotions as they flow.

So right. It is the season of what - tell me to lie and I’ll swear it’s true. We are very lucky - the weather will be just exactly perfect!

And that's a small place. Never staid post show music. To much time lifting up 69 muscle cars, or trying to find my my way out with jello legs. Let the good times roll.

Taproom stage in the brewery.

Insane Eyes ! Yikes

One of the best shows I've seen. Start to finish. Period. Thanks, Minnesota, for getting the recording up SO quickly. Well done!!

"So if you're going out to Carolina Then don't linger in New Mexico And if you think of the one there behind you Then you might not feel so alone" "And if the stars didn't shine on the water Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am" Peace and Love, Lyle Lovett

I recorded the show last night. I am travelling home today which is taking most of the day. I will post a link here when I get it done in the next few days.

When i was a younger man, i needed good luck...

I got my recording of the show up at Archive for your listening and downloading pleasure. https://archive.org/details/dso2019-08-12.Neumann184.Cook.flac16

This show was a journey. I made it through in hero's journey fashion. In the heart of Jersey, with talkers drinkers and cigarette smokers on free range, joy is still possible.

Thank you all for giving me back a big piece of something I thought I'd lost forever - something I cherish so deeply. And thank you for putting your own FIRE HOT, BALLS TO THE WALL spin on it, and for CRUSHING IT every single night. You guys rock! And I'm totally grateful 💗
