    Furthur selection criteria
    Any significance around the fact that all of the first names of all the "Furthur" boys not named "Bob" or "Phil" begin with the letter "J"? Theories, please...

    I found this over at Lossless
    I'm looking to raise $800 to replace a speaker that was stolen from the KPFA performance studio. I believe this is a speaker that was originally donated by the Jerry Garcia estate. Regular listeners to Dead to the World have heard many great music broadcasts from that studio, and we have Grandpa Banana and his band coming in this week. KPFA is struggling (as are we all, I know) so it will be hard to find the money to replace this important piece of the studio. That's why I am asking for help here. You can send a check to KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley CA 94704, or Paypal to David@trufun.com with a note stating that it is for KPFA. I know we can make this happen. Thanks to all for reading this. someone found this on David`s facebook page . figure I`ll post it here also. KPFA could use the help as well as any public broadcasting radio or television station.

    Quack, Quack, Quack - Go Ducks!
    I will be rooting for the Oregon Ducks, whose homefield is Autzen Stadium in Eugene, in the Rose Bowl! Now that I've my credit cards all paid off I should go see Furthur on new years eve, then head down to the Rose Bowl and see the Ducks, then head down to Baja and have a margaritta with a senoritta in Rosarita. But it would really suck if Furthur played FOTD, the Ducks lost, and I got mugged in Mexico, I think I'll just stay home. It's been a good year, why push it. I saw more shows this year,3, than I have since the mid-80's, wrote more songs this year than I ever have in my life,(you all inspire me), and had a couple nice road trips where, on one, I saw a ton of new country I've not seen before. Plus, I had my last beer on the 9th of this month, smoked my last bowl on the 24th, and am hoping to have my last cig tomorrow. I hope in the coming year I can get my act together and start playing some gigs. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Peace. Let there be songs, to fill the air

    i have witnessed
    the torrent of saliva emanating from bob's mouth. he wasn't actually spitting, but wow....i don't know how he could actually sing with the amount of liquid he was producing. the only visual i can think of that compares is sweat pouring off of someone during an extremely strenuous workout, and that still doesn't really compare. we used to get close enough to almost lean on the edge of the stage at the kaiser convention center in oakland and had a clear view of bob, just a few feet away.

Judging by the blistering show and the great family scene at Rochester, this is gonna be a hot summer tour... If you're in the East, now is the time to get out and hear the band. See you at ArtPark!

have a nice show! Anyways, I spent Monday night peakin' on top of Bolan Mountain that caps out at 6,242 ft. It's in the Siskiyou National Forest in Oregon a mile and a half from the California line. It has a nice view of the ocean 40 miles to the west, a great view of 14,162 ft. Mt. Shasta 70 miles to the south-east, and Preston Peak dominates a dozen or so miles to the south-west. Had to hike a mile to get to the top, there's a road to the top but the last hundred yards run along a cliff on the north side and was still buried under snowdrifts 10 ft. high and more. There's a nice lake down below with a forest service campground. I didn't see any other tracks in the snow on the way up and the road there had just opened up. If you are ever on the road between Happy Camp, Ca. and O'Brien, OR. be sure to check it out. By Tuesday afternoon we had made it to a beautiful flower-filled meadow on the banks of Hurdy-Gurdy Creek in the Smith River National Recreation Area where we listened to the show. The highlights for me were Reuben and Cherise, New Speedway Boogie, and Lost Sailor,almost thought I'd change my name to starsailor.

A very high energy sprint to finish the 12th Stage from Sisteron to Bourg -les Valence today. Some head-butts from Renshaw to Farrar ensuring Cavendish the stage win.These riders are really something to watch! I'm pulling for Levi Leipheimer to catch-up with Contador and the yellow jersey on Andy Schleck. I keep looking for CB, cheering the riders on along the side of the road.

not me..I've got the VIP package with the helicopter, the Michelin 3 star lunch, the champagne and the supermodel. Go Cavendish. Renshaw was a bit naughty today I admit.

..has been incredible. Our TV channel, Versus, has been airing the race with ground and helicopter videos in high-definition: I may have to plan a trip over next year! I do not speak or understand French, so that will be something I'll pursue. Years ago, in and west of Boulder CO, I was a motorcycle escort for the Red Zinger classic....

It is a great advertisement for the French landscape (after they leave the 'Hell of the North'). We had a lot of rain in June which has kept the South very green and beautiful this year. Today's stage up to Mende in the Massif Central should be spectacular. The 2011 route is not announced yet. A lot of people ride the route each year a few days in advance of the real tour: so get training Ted and TL! It's a fascinating tour this year. Armstrong has been plagued with bad luck and you might forgive him for dropping out...but he is hanging in there to help his team. Cavendish is so talented but everyone hates him, even more so after his aussie sidekick's headbutting antics yesterday. Cav needs a new lead out man now and the other teams are sure to harass him mercilessly now. The real struggle will be Schleck vs Contador in the Pyrenees; there are going to be some real battles up there on the slopes.

Alberto really showed some strength and durability today, reaching for the stage 12 win but being edged out by Oliver Rodriguez. Astana is still 14 minutes back, but for how much longer? "She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff..."

Jesus, John Muir, and Jerry Garcia have been the 3 biggest influences in my life. Without Jerry I probably never have learned how to play guitar, and being able to play love songs for God, not the Devil, means a lot. John Muir was my wilderness guru and his writings led me to Mt. Shasta and from there I found the beautiful place I live today. Jesus brought love to my heart and helped me deal with the hell I've had to live with everyday for almost the past 30 years. Without Jesus I may have become so embittered and full of hate that I could have ended up like one of those people who snap like we saw on the news yesterday. God bless you all and happy Jerry week!

Or does it seem odd that a new featured product on this site (the Warner vinyl box) doesn't have any way to post comments? New strategy to ward off our constant whining about the music for sale here?

(the one on the homepage concerning the vinyl) it goes directly to the store item. If you're talking about something else, send me the link and I'll look into it.

That goes directly to the store. Just felt like we were missing out on weeks of entertaining discussion without a comments section at the bottom of the product description, as we see with most all of the music releases. Given that it's not something new, as such, just repackaged and quite pricy vinyl reissues, maybe that's the reason?
