  1. Where did you watch the show? The balcony?A private room? &nbsp sounds like a fine time!! 🌹
  2. Now, that’s how I like it. Rockin the Tabernacle. It would have been sooooo much better than the emergency vet with my daughter’s cat last night.
  3. Oh and the lion and Samson never got in attack… 20,000 dead by the end of the song with verse doibled. And still fabulous… 40,000 Headmen couldn’t make me change my mind.
  4. What an easy escapade to Charlotte! The Amp amphitheater opened in fall of 2023 in the planned mixed use area south of Charlotte. After work we drove up through some pretty significant weather. It has been a very rainy May, dumping lots of rainfall at a time, but it didn’t stop the show! Very easy parking. I had dinner outside one of the restaurants and listened to the first set, cooling my heels after a long day of doctoring, avoiding getting drenched, not that it mattered much. But for a while, it was luxury to dine and take in the music. The rain stopped pretty much second set with a light cooling mist every now and then. 😃 We got an upgrade to pit while checking in as a kind man gave us his extra. Astroturf might just be my favorite outdoor ground cover! Funny, I felt most comfortable on the springy fake grass! It gave heavenly cushion, no nasty beer spills to avoid, good footing! Scored all night in the endzone! We had great dancing all around. I’m sure the sound was better on the lawn. I couldn’t hear Barraco as much in the mix where I was. The spirit of a dead show hovered around as St Stephen dropped. That old familiar feeling came knocking. Groovy NFA with very nice percussive moments in first half of NFA and Eaton and Mattson trading licks and pushing the music further in the interplay, clearly delighting Eaton. Truly, the HSF sandwich with all the extra stuffing delivered a meaty, sonically tasty meal. The slipknot fomented in second half, Skip booming deep bass riffs. Yes, may the four winds blow us safely home in this crazy world! Meanwhile, might as well celebrate like a Saturday night- grab the sunshine when you can- smell the roses- and forget the tribulation of the world. US Blues never sounded so right. šŸ’ƒšŸ»šŸ•ŗšŸ»šŸŒ¹ Excited for Asheville and Charleston. First filler, Don’t Do It. yes, dontcha break my heart.
  5. Yowzah! That’s topnotch!!
  6. ā€œBecoming Led Zeppelinā€ is worth the watch. They really carved their own path!
  7. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! The spirit of shirking off the status quo in the face of creativity is everything! A fascination with the Beatnik movement and how it impacted American culture to normalize the freedoms we inherently should embrace and throw off the prejudices and fear of Puritanical morays made me the person I am. Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead and others like Dylan fomented this movement and gave its voice. Dylan had his finger on the pulse of it all, voiced it and struggled alone with his genius, I think, trying to reconcile the complexity of our culture and the impact of what he saw, how he was received and where it went from there. Ah, the tortured artist…
  8. It was an incredible weekend! So perfect and fitting for you two!! One of the best wedding celebrations! Such joy! I love how you roll your love to one another. 😃.Many happy days await you grounded in your love. It is everything!! So happy to have been there to celebrate it. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø What memories…. Precious. Laissez les bon temps roulez.
  9. Right on! Looks quite perfect. 😻!! That was quite a show.
  10. Happy birthday to you!! Libra is the best sign. Haha šŸ„³šŸŽ‰ā¤ļø The region from Eastern TN through WNC was just many funnels of 40 trillion tons of water, enough water to cover the ENTIRE state of NC with 3.5 ft of water , the equivalent of 699 days of water flow at Niagara Falls . It was expected for instance one person said that the French Broad would rise 3 ft,; it went to 27 ft. I don’t believe anyone expected how bad it would hit as the system stalled and went further east that expectex. I got power for my birthday!!🄳 so
  11. Phew. Where to start? I just thought I would check in and say we are ok. Pins and Needles as things came online worried about people. Gr8ful Pair is ok. There is catastrophic loss and damage here. Awaiting power to return with 96% loss in my county ; however there are pockets open. Coordinating to run supplies up to Black Mountain and Asheville to help those who have nothing. The need is dire. Grateful for sunshine and cool temps. Send your goodness and vibes our way. If anything is clear, it is that self sufficiency is required in these days and the ability for self reliance essential. Society just without power hangs by threads obvious in the people I saw jamming the fast food/ gas stations trying to get there next meal after power loss.
  12. Gotta love a 76 dancin
  13. Probably depends on who’s yelling it. šŸ˜‰
  14. Killimg it in Cape Cod
  15. The Grey Eagle Jazz is Dead 8:10/2024 Oooooo- this was absolute a groove moving time. I just love the way Alphonso Johnson lays down a strong funky bass line. Just scrumptious. And he’d go REAL deep with those notes. Pretty wild he’s a founding member of Jazz is Dead and was in Weather Report Suite, playing with Wayne Shorter- if you haven’t seen that biopic of Shorter’s I recommend it. I rode rail first set and the whole hall was soooo quiet when they were playing- hardly a whisper!!! Savored. Kimock’s amp was turnt up and a little too much for sustained proximity. Second set- the booze kicked in and loosened audience tongues- bleh. But overall better than most crowds!! (Alcohol is evil unless it is a beautiful a work of art like Veuve Clicquot; wow, the story behind that one!! Barbe- Nicole Clicquot was a bad ass!! ) My first love is dancing forever and always; last night I shook off the grind of work and felt free. And that is priceless. such weird times Heavy energies around. Kimock’s guitar sound was quite lovely and created serene places, delicately and thoughtfully sketched out. He actually smiled some! Glad I made the trip up and back home . Nice dinner with shellfish beignets that were to die for!!! Show was about 3 hours long. Box Playin Lost Saint Terrapin Suite! HSF Stella Bertha What sounded like Fame to me-> MNS -> Fame.

    Wowzah! What a great Tomorrow Never Knows! I really like the arrangement which makes me also reflect i really like their Jack A Roe approach. I so enjoyed tonight couch living through nugs. Nice show! And I have changed my stance on Nugs. šŸ˜‚
  19. I hate this. My friend stopped chimney rock from being sold to private citizens. Maybe the people can rise up. It’s so beautiful along the river. Man is so destructive.
  20. Maybe I’ll try nugs again…. For the weekend. They are so patchy with their video. And hard to get in. Tried Billy Strings Asheville last and it was an ongoing hassle the whole night. The last thing i want is the stress of dealing with poor steaming I paid for. i know itll be a šŸ”„FANTASTIC šŸ’ƒšŸ»šŸ•ŗšŸ»weekend and hate to miss all the lovelyšŸ’— people gathering. Ive got my kids home together a short stint before son returns to Colorado and spending today and tomorrow with them. And frankly, I’m still stinging from getting pulled in the van on the way home last year. It was clear and very little traffic ( 2 cars oncoming) on a straight away downhill. With a 95 hp engine running atleast 5,000lbs, it’s fun to drive mostly but can be a bear making those hills along the Ohio valleys. Only a 12 hour driveā€¦šŸ˜…. The trooper said i sped up when he pulled out behind me and he clocked it going 67. Well, thats at least a record i could post on social media because i might top at 65 on a 7% grade. Ha! I didn't see him until he was on my tail 🐊and there was no video footage until he was right up on me. Suspicious mf’’er. I really can see about 50-75 feet out the back window. I slowed down from 63 to 57 but not fast enough for him…. I cant brake on a dime. Such a rouse. He was even suspicious of the fan running once i cut the engine. Didnt know his ass from a hole in the ground at maybe 28. I think the van is older than he is. No clue about running a 4 speed in that kind of situation. I got it reduced to improper tailpipe or something like that but it was a bleed. Where is the calm and sense in the world? Be careful. I cant wait for this backlash of a need to control everyone postcovid to subside. It is absolutely insane out there. Is this a free country that doesnt impose on your well-being happiness and freedom? Hell no. but in Legend Valley, freedom can play and hearts be filled with goodness and kindness and be the utopia we seek. Reach down for that gold ring inside and dance in the Garden of Eden. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
  21. Funny i missed that one. šŸ™‚ i made tea with my ā€œiron fishā€ attempting to correct my low ferritin levels. My daughter asked if it tasted iron-ee. I told it it tasted more like satire. She cracked up. Gosh i love that girl.
  22. Set 1 Might as Well masterpiece Stagger Lee big boss man biodlt althea keep on growing ccrider birdsong jack straw set 2 hsf corrina unbroken chain ds the weight ikoiko all along the watchtower Positively fourth street omsn take a letter, maria
  23. Sure. i like her singing it. 😜 how bold for 1960! a woman with the tune and the kyrics…. well, i like you singing it best.

Ole Etta James ā€œOh, all I wanna do, all I wanna do is cook your bread Just to make sure that you're well fed I don't want you sad and blue And I just wanna make love to youā€ ā¤ļø
