    One more Saturday night at Winterland! Yes, we're back to home base for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 42, the complete show from Winterland, San Francisco, 2/23/74. The one that featured the earliest amalgamation of what would soon become the Wall of Sound, the one that is so "loud, clear, and defined," it's been ripe for release for quite some time and we're glad it's finally getting its due.

    First set or second, there are no wrong answers here. From the unique show opener of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around" and an incredible "Here Comes Sunshine" that would then disappear for 18 years, to a medley of WAKE OF THE FLOOD tracks - "Row Jimmy," "Weather Report Suite," and "Stella Blue" - cementing their status in the canon and an unstoppable hour through the classic 1973-1974 Dead that is “He’s Gone”>“Truckin’”>“Drums”>“The Other One”>“Eyes Of The World,” it's all exceptionally hot.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 42: WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, 2/23/74 was recorded by Kidd Candelario and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Eric Nesterenko

    that's a name I haven't heard for ages and instantly recognized. Nesterenko was a core player with the Blackhawks when I was a kid. Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Pit Martin, Tony Esposito and others. Legends. Born in Flin Flon, Manitoba (Flin Flon - what a cool name). Parents were Ukranian immigrants.

    Johnny Rotten wasn't so hard

    I met him once. Sort of. It was at the Electric Circus in Manchester in December 1976 a few days after the interview with Bill Grundy had been broadcast on television. There were 4 bands on that night, and the Sex Pistols were last on. I went on my own.
    Between bands I went to the bar upstairs for a pint and a breather. It was virtually empty - but the Pistols were there, talking to some girls at the bar. I got my drink and slumped down..and then got the feeling someone was looking at me. I looked at the next table, and it was Johnny Rotten , also sitting on his own. I mumbled a greeting, and he mumbled one back. Then he re joined the band and they went on. Not exactly great meetings of our time.

    Despite the fact that he had short hair and...well he was a punk....and I had very long hair and looked like - well I don't know what I looked like - but I sensed that we were cut from the same cloth at that time. Both about 19, skinny, mad..
    I'm glad Sid Vicious wasn't there, though.

    Mr Smith, and Hockey of course ; )

    Wow, beyond cool Jeff! Those windows and that story was awesome! I can relate to egos, rich folk, and crazy deadlines. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with those so much anymore. Like y’all didn’t have enough to deal with without some DB mucking up the works. Shoulda dosed him lol. Seems like you’ve found the hard to get niche of art and commerce that’s cool and invigorating and not the soul crushing constantly compromised for cash scenario, kudos!

    Many celebrity brush ups but since it’s hockey season I’ll just share a related one. Mikes telling of the real great one, Gordy Howe, made me remember my time with the great but perhaps unknown by all except the most dedicated and perhaps “mature” hockey nuts. Almost 25 years ago when we first moved in the area we live in, my first job was at a golf club. I’d dropped outta grad school and for various reasons just wanted something less stressful and to be outside in the mountains etc. after a few years I became the outside staff manager.
    The director of golf had hired this old, literally crooked sort of old bent guy who had a been an NHL warrior back in the bad ole daze of Eddie Shore, Gordie Howe etc named Eric Nesterenko.
    He played over twenty years which is kind of amazing if you understand what hockey was like back then. So here’s this beat up old supposed legend working for me as a starter/ranger at an off the path club in the middle of nowhere.
    Well Eric was quite a guy but not much of an employee.
    He had two problems: as a starter he was never at the first tee box. Usually I could find him at the driving range which was no bueno because although we had liberal privileges at the club, we were not to use the facilities on the clock or in uniform. Well there’d be Eric 8 outta 10 times at the range. Now if that wasn’t enough, he was a machine and would not just hit a few balls, he go through ever damn ball on the range lol. I mean these were Titleist den caddies: (hollow mini golf bags full of about 300 balls), times about 15 stations on the range, that’s A LOT of balls and would wipe out most folks. But Nester would routinely go through ever ball out there.
    The other habit he had, as a ranger, people can be aholes when the ranger needs to repeatedly get on them. But hey, that’s their job and the offender was mucking things up for everyone else. I’m sure anyone who’s golfed regularly knows what it’s like being stuck behind rich ahole arm chair Tiger Woods, not fun!
    So Nesters problem was when some of these folks would get uppity with him, he’d be ready to drop the gloves!
    Now we thought that was hilarious, and some of these nutnics probably deserved a couple elbows in the corner, but of course professionally we had to act shocked, liked we cared when these dipshits complained about him.
    I never got to no him that well, but he was always a respectful gentleman to me and the staff, and we loved working with him.
    The amazing thing was, even years later, he continued to be a ski instructor in vail, even after all his body had been through! About 10-15 years after I worked with him, we had a gig at a tiny little place in vail. So small we were only allowed to use like one powered monitor with acoustic instruments. Nester, and his son, along with several others were regulars there for apre’ ski. We did the gig mostly because of the fun atmosphere, it was an early gig, and you didn’t need to schlep Amps/PA etc It was mostly for fun, which it was. In fact it got too big so they cancelled us. Imagine that: we’re making too much money and it’s too popular so you can’t play here anymore lol. Well not only was it fun, but Nester and all the regulars took really good care of us too. Some nights we’d actually make ok money!
    I haven’t seen Nester in years, but I think he might still be up the hill giving lessons if at all possible.

    So speaking of hockey, wow, wild games last night! Not a big Rangers fan (no offense) so loved that outcome, and holy crap I hope the whole Battle for Alberta series is like last night! Wow! Tonight…
    GO AVS!

    Chuck Berry

    Jeff - Great guy to meet in Chuck Berry, that is gold! Great story, and your art work is amazing. What was Chuck Berry's reaction to seeing the work?

    I would say my meetings with celebrities has been great, overall. I worked a boat show in the 90s, and in the booth next to us was Desmond Llewelyn, infamous as "Q" in the James Bond series. It was a super dead night in January, and he was so nice. He was there for some company, and they were featuring that silly "Alligator Sub" from one of the cheesy Roger Moore movies (I was glad when they dumped Moore). I lost the poster he signed in one of many moves, regretably.

    Of the folks I met, Sir Edmund Hillary was top of my list for sheer respect, and he and Gordie Howe both had hands like dinner plates. Big dinner plates. Chris Hillman (pictured) was terrific, as was Herb Pedersen, and Gene Clark. Dan Akroyd was a hoot, and I still have the wine bottle he signed (sans the wine!). Rod Serling's daughter (Anne) and Byron Berline (fiddle master) both signed books for me, but the one that moved me the most was Kim Phuc, known infamously as "The Girl In The Picture", running naked as a little child from an errant napalm bombing in South Vietnam. She lives in the next town over, and she is the most spiritual person I have ever met, not at all defined by the atrocities done to her, or that she had seen.

    I'd love to have met Jerry Garcia, I understand he was about the most centred guy you could meet. I'm still holding out to meet Dylan, but I always get the feeling he may be somewhat jaded about that kind of an encounter.

    Meeting celebrities

    I worked at an Executive Jet Centre a few years ago for a while, rich people and celebrities, singers on tour etc. Rich people generally were great, polite and respectful, celebrities less so.

    I've literally bumped into Roy Orbison and Johnny Rotten. Roy smiled and ruffled my hair, I was about 8 at the time, and Johnny said nothing but the gorilla of a minder behind him (it was in the pub next to the Rainbow Theatre, London, before the Ramones New Year's Eve gig 1977ish) wasn't too polite.

    Getting in tune with Chuck

    I was surprised to find an unsuspecting Phil Lesh at a table at the Bar at Terrapin Crossroads one night a few years ago – wasn’t as quick on my feet at Keithfan was with Chris Squire. Sort of mumbled “Hi!” and “Thanks!” and dumb stuff.

    What I’ll never forget is the time I met Chuck Berry. He was the featured guest at the Grand Opening Night Gala for Dallas’s Hard Rock Cafe in 1986. I was lead artist/coordinator for the making of the Hard Rock's Elvis, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis stained glass windows, which earned me a coveted invite to the HRC’s VIP “Cheese Club” upstairs for a seated dinner. In fact I sat next to Chuck’s gorgeous daughter. After the meal, everyone exited back into the crush of revelers. All of us were partying hardy. During the transformation of this old church into the HRC, I’d discovered a hidden “nook” where I escaped for some calm.

    The next thing I knew club owner and visionary, Isaac Tigrett, opened the secret door to “my” nook, and told Chuck Berry he could tune and warm up there. Nobody asked me to leave, so I spent 20 or 30 minutes listening to Chuck play. We chatted a little about growing up in Missouri and Arkansas. Chuck was still kinda pissed at the way he’d been treated by the taxman, the law and the record companies. Then, before I knew it, a manager stuck his head in and led Chuck to where he waited until being introduced by Dan Ackroyd and proceeding to blow the top off the place. The Paul Schafer Band played most of the rest of the time.

VGuy - I never understood why the Knights fired their first coach, Gerard Gallant, now coaching the New York Rangers, currently in the second round of the playoffs. He was a tough as nails player, and a tough but fair coach, got results, but Vegas just dumped him…!?

So, relaxing by the pool in Turkey this morning and after a several hour conversation, quite a few proseccos with somebody and his wife that Mrs Dogon and I met at breakfast, we started talking about music -I mean we had politics, already covered-this guy, a decade older than me, he had seen the Beatles in the Cavern for f**ks sake, best concert experiance? The Dead at Empire Pool!!!!! He couldnt remember the date, but he saw Dark Star, so second show....
Remarkable convergance of taste musically and it turns out, we were at several concerts together. My favourite album, Love Forever Changes, his,, Astral Weeks, pretty cool.
We will continue boring our respective other halves tomorrow...

Sounds good to me. Sitting in the sun, meeting interesting people. Ideal. Maybe a little boring for wives. Keep their glasses topped up.

....yup. Vegas fans still scratching their heads over that decision. It's right up there with trading Fleury away for basically nothing.

first, so sorry for your loss. Losing a cat is hard, really hard. It took me a while before I could post about this subject as I too have lost my share of our feline companions. Had cats all my life, mostly strays inherited after some unkind soul has cast them out. We would put a bowl of crunchies out by the front door and sometimes the strays would stay, sometimes not. Sometimes they would be so feral that they would hide until no one was around. I had one for 20 years, when he passed he could no longer jump up on the counter which is where he ate, would not eat on the floor. When I had to help him to the counter, he looked at me, nudged me like a hug, I hugged him back and he went outside, never to be seen again. It was like he was saying good bye. Many time strays would come about to give birth and we would have a litter of 4 to sometimes 6 or 7. After giving some to friends the rest went to pet stores so that they could find good homes. Free of course.
I'm sure that if you have cats, you've tripped with them and know how sharp they are, they know, they see and hear the sights and sounds that we can't see until psychedelics are introduced. They can be such pranksters, it's like they know when we as humans perceive what they see and hear all the time. They can be so aloof but give unconditional love like no other.
We lost our last 2 cats 6 months apart a few years ago and are still not ready for another one. One thing about cats that go outside, one day they will just disappear, and you will never know what happened to them. We tried to keep the last 2 inside, and we did for 3 years, but one day, they just went crazy and had to go out, after that, there was no keeping them inside.

We lost our two dogs last fall about 6 weeks apart. We had to put them both down, both victims of cancer. Both rescues had 13 years of joy with us. Guess the only good thing about Covid was we got to lie with them on the grassy yard beside the vet's office on nice fall days and not in the scary sterile dr's room. My wife and I were both there comforting them, telling it was ok, looking them in the eye as they crossed the rainbow bridge. Not a day goes by I don't think about them. My daughter's still extremely devastated. We'll get her a puppy when the time's right.

Thank you for that eloquently stated treatise on the love between us and our quadruped family members. You reminded me of the joy cats bring when they have a routine. I’m not sure they look forward to these things ahead of time, but when some repeated behavior gives them the clue, their actions are delightful. If only humans could treat each other with the love and purity our pets do.
Surely we as a society can do better.
Bill Frisell once stated that if everyone played an instrument, there would be no wars.

Simonrob,It got interesting when we got to second favourite show attended, his was Roy Orbison, with the Beatles as support act! ( my contribution was Littlefeat, the Waiting for Columbus show). We covered a lot of bases, with some relatively obscure corners garnering significant, and surprising, mutual enthusiasm.
Oh, and dont worry about the respective otherhalves, they seemed used to it, and anyway had their own, less comprehensible( to us) areas of interest.
So, time to stroll down to the marina to get up an appetite, breakfast, with unlimited prosecco in about an hour.

I saw Little Feat at that time. My memory lacks accuracy so I can't remember whether it was 1977 or 1978. I also can't remember which London venue I saw them at. The Rainbow? Hammersmith Odeon? What I do remember was that it was great. What a powerful performance. Well up amongst the best shows I ever saw.
I wonder how many more shows or tours we both attended.

I was right there with ya BTK! (Happy Birthday Dan Healy!) ... all 3 of those shows were a blast .... did each of the 3-day runs for the next several years as well ... never a disappointment, good times had by all .... especially on 7/13/84!!!!

I'd liked to have seen him live. Clearly emanating from another dimension - the portal to which has long since been closed.

Yes, Roy Orbison. There's a great live cd/dvd of him in concert in 1987, called The Black&WhiteNight. 19 incredible songs sung to perfection - and with a stellar band. Not least of which is James Burton on guitar. Highly recommended to music lovers everywhere.

Didn’t want to go here, but so many have shared such personal stories, and got me all choked up, which then makes me think of my dog Iko, which gets me more choked up! He was crazy as a youngin, but eventually turned into a really good, well trained dog.

Got him in fall 82 when he was 6 weeks and just barely old enough to be taken from his mother. I picked him out of the big liter because even at like 3 weeks old, while the others wouldn’t leave momma, he was already wandering off and getting into trouble, hence the name.
Beautiful black lab/husky with white collar, white tips on tail and feet, with cute white nose.
Used to take him everywhere when he was little. Had a nap sack I wore backwards inside my jacket so I could shove him inside when I needed to go into stores etc since I didn’t have a car. On top of all his other wonderful qualities, he was a total chick magnet!
Mom wouldn’t let him in the house, or even look at him because she didn’t want to go through getting attached and then having to endure losing him etc. Eventually she couldn’t help herself, he was allowed in, and they became inseparable!
Anyway, I was constantly moving in and out and increasingly just plain gone a lot. When I moved out west years later he was so used to being there with the folks to give him regular care etc, that we decided it was best for him to stay there. It was hard for me, but best for him.
The sad part was as he approached the end. He had been going downhill fast when I came home for Xmass in 97.
My father said it was like he knew and was waiting for me. The vet had said he wouldn’t make it that long. After I got home, we took him to the vet again and they said that due to various reasons his temperature was so high he was burning up inside, his brain was boiling and his reason was spent.
Said the humane thing to do was put him down, so we made an appointment and did the difficult but right thing.
If only we could show such mercy on our peeps, but I digress.
It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but so glad he waited for me to come home and to be with him.
The thing that made me realize it was time, was that he barely touched his dog biscuit/bone. He lived for those milk bone treats, but the last one I gave him he barely touched so I took that as a sign. I still have that milk bone 25+ years later. Sits in my special cabinet with my box sets and other most personal items, including a picture of him and the beer I saluted him with after his passing.
Before, as we waited in the car, I held him and told him what a good boy he was and how much we all loved him, and how sorry I was that I had to leave him when I moved. When it was time, I held him and looked in his eyes while they gave the injection etc. Agonizingly hard, but so glad I was able to be there with/for him, especially since I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to my childhood dog. Pops took that guy while I was away because he thought it’d be easier. I was so pissed and wasn’t going to let that happen again.
Ok, I’m crying now at a construction site getting funny looks, so what. Perhaps the deepest connection with anyone I’ve ever had!
Like the David Bromberg version of Mr Bojangles, after all these years I still grieve. I try not to think about it too much because for whatever reason it still just crushes me, more than all the other peeps and pets I’ve lost?
There was just something about him. But since you all brought me back to all that, figured I’d share.
Sorry for the Debbie downer.
So on a funnier note: lived with a cat at a friends house, actually several over the year’s. He had one black cat named Sable that was generally not a very nice cat. She used to go around the neighborhood and routinely kick the crap outta all the small dogs, forget about cats!
She and I got along ok because I left her alone, we had an understanding lol. She used to like to hang in my room so she could be left alone. If I went in there, she’d usually just get all hissy and leave, but she never attached me like some folks. People would come over to watch football or whatever, and of course try the usual “hey kitty kitty” and try and pet her etc. She’d have none of that, especially from interlopers, her housemates she tolerated because she had to lol. So after she’d spit and hiss, and tell ‘em to fuck off and leave her be, many folks would shit talk her and call her names etc. well she didn’t appreciate that and was so smart, and vengeful, she’d sit and wait and stew until the offender was probably half in the bag and long since forgotten the cat. So just at the right time, as the clueless offenders hand was dangling beside the chair, she’d strike and boy she could do some damage if you had really pissed her off! We used to warn people, “don’t try to pet, and don’t shit talk the cat” but they usually didn’t listen. After the retribution, we’d have to say, sorry, but we tried to warn ya!
Her favorite thing in life was racing cars. She’d wait on the side of the sorta busy street we were on, and try to run in front of cars at the last second. Pretty crazy but she loved it and was very good until Halloween night one year when she just wasn’t quick enough. Poor guy brought her to the house half dead and all upset. We told him not to worry as hardly anyone would miss her, but it was still sad, even a mean cat is still part of the family, and I never thought she was mean, just wanted to be left alone so we got along fine. In fact I liked her because she was so different!
Ok, sorry, back to your Drumz/space!

Ok Dave, you made me buy.

I appear to have the original cd. I just bought the re-release of the original cd, which is supposed to be re-editted, re-mastered and redone in general. Has all the songs from the tv show, put back in the order in which the audience heard them.

Hell, it was 14 bucks for a 2 cd set,,,, what the hell.

It was Dave recommended!

A lot on the last few Tapers. Not one I would think of for a box though. Sometimes you just gotta poke around.
Oro, thanks for sharing. Brought back hilarious scenes of my Japanese Bobtail who ruled the dogs. She was likely dumped in our trailer park and knew the whole place. Saw her a couple times by the dumpster and the wife tried to feed her. Eventually she figured out we had cats and did fence top traverses to get on our roof and look in the yard. The rotted overhanging rafter 2x4 broke under her weight and we found her lounging on the homemade cat condo. Decided we were OK I guess. This gorgeous beast had rear legs the size of a large rabbit and would harass the yippy little dogs a few houses away. You could tell she enjoyed it. She'd hear them yipping and jump over the 6 ft. wooden fence and then go and just sit in the middle on the drive right next to their house and stare at them until they went away. Total badass!

Dennis - it seems to be available in all sorts of configurations. The one I have is called The Black and White show and has "30" embossed on the cover. It's got a cd and a dvd, with a "secret" bonus post show selection of songs on the dvd and available for download - just 5 alternative versions of songs from the main show. The main show has 19 songs, with Pretty Woman played twice.
I've just played it again to see if it's as good as I remember it. It's not...it's better!

I'm beginning to wonder if I should get a pet, reading some of the posts on here. The last one died about 45 years ago.

DL indicated he likes this show and hopes it will be released some day, but it's a challenge to get clearance from all of the extra musicians. Sounds like he's working on it to me.

Just kicking back after a 13 hour day at work with an ice cold one (ah, the first sip is a slice of paradise). Listening to the quacking duck Scarlet-Fire on it's anniversary. Great one, no doubt. I like it better than 5/8; too much of that awful Polymoog on 5/8. Keith started getting away from it the week of the original May 1977 box set.

The Avs pulled out a surprisingly close one. Still the team to beat even though I want the Oilers. Good luck to them tonight in their battle for the Alberta Cup.

I have to give props your way, Kucherov prevailed. I still have full faith that the Leaf's time is coming. Surprisingly, no one is that upset about their loss around these parts, believe they may actually be on the cusp.

No one having a worse week than Leaf winger Mitch Marner - his Leafs lose the series Saturday night, and Monday night he loses his (very expensive) Range Rover SUV in a carjacking, while going to a local movie with his fiancé. Luckily he is ok.

Colorado is still THE team to beat. Timing was off a bit against St Louis, but that could be rest rust.

While I still await DaP 42, I have got into this band Railroad Earth - like what I'm hearing!

PS - Oro: Thanks for sharing the story on your pup. I've been there, it is heart wrenching in ways non-pet owners never understand, but then they never appreciate the joy these wonderful animals bring to our lives.

As I’ve mentioned previously I’m really enjoying Molly Tuttle’s music. So I decided to get some of her early music with The Tuttles. Couldn’t get a couple of the early albums over here but I was able to order them directly from Jack Tuttle in Palo Alto. Placed the order on 5th of May and they’ve arrived today.

DaP #42 on the other hand disappeared to a international carrier on 9th May and has not been heard of since.

Edit: I just checked how the Tuttles albums were sent. They came via USPS.

Maybe they are more for people who live with a family - although I guess there are people who live alone who have them. Up until lockdown, I was always out and about, so any pet I had would have been left alone a bit - not really ideal. I can remember going out with a girl once who had a cat, and when we went away, her husband used to come round to pick up the cat and take it back to his place for a bit.
I have recently got quite attracted to French Bulldogs - plucky looking little chaps. Reading about them, I am not so sure about the way they are bred, though - and if I had one I am not sure I could cope with it. They look a bit of a handful. I think I'll stick with my guitar.

Glad to hear that the Leaf fans are taking this one in stride. They are close and should never have drawn Tampa in the first round. Just bad luck this year. They are a very good team and I think they will go deep in the playoffs next year. Sometimes you need to take your lumps before you actually break through. Just ask the 2003 Red Sox.

Please don't think I am banging away on you. I wanted the Leafs to prevail. Auston Matthews is a great talent. Big and graceful. It is just that Kucherov has unique skills that you don't see very often and he is fun to watch. Small and crafty. He reminds me a lot of Pavel Datsyuk.

I know it's a big rivalry, but Edmonton/Calgary is a disappointing seeding in the fact that one will be eliminated. At least the other one will make it to the conference finals.

Gotta bring that Cup back to Canadaland.

Good luck and enjoy DaP42 when it arrives. It's a good one.

Pets are the best. I feel for all of you who have lost one. It's just too depressing right now for me to share my own story.

I had avoided listening to this show for literally years in anticipation of Dave making The Big Announcement.

"shorter of breath, and one day closer to death", so I finally started up my unofficial copy yesterday.

If you could experience what I experienced listening to the show on my cassette Walkman walking around Green Lake back in the day...

:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Finally got through my first decent listen to #42. Strong performance very nice recording. Some real high, high points.

For the three-show run, I cobbled together the best sounding recordings, re-ordered the songs from this dave's picks to match the setlist and have this all together in one place, ready to hit play. I'm pretty sure this is all we are going to get from Dave & Company from these three shows, so Mr. Miller is filling in for the missing songs on the 22nd. For my next listen, I am going to hit all three shows in succession and imagine the box set that coulda, shoulda would have been. Well, bygones, what we have is truly great stuff.

Enjoy your week folks like it's your last, shine kindness and thoughtfulness wherever you go doing whatever it is you do.

For UPS Mail Innovations it used to be that UPS passed the parcel to USPS but for Dave's 42 people here in the Netherlands had their copies shipped by Asendia - something to do with Swiss Post. If your alternate tracking number ends with CH, try tracking with Asendia.

Noteworthy is that punters in the Netherlands did not have to pay any customs fees, VAT etc. this time around.

My copy arrived yesterday and I'm listening to it at this moment.

My alternate tracking number ends FR so it presumably has headed to France. PostFrancais and Royal Mail say the number can’t be tracked. I’m sure #42 will turn up soon it’s just the comparison with the other purchase that is disappointing.

Edit: The Tuttles albums didn’t incur a custom charge and Jack Tuttle covered the postage ($17.85) so I paid only $30 for the two albums.

Edit 2: I had a look at Asendia, they track it up to 9th May and then it disappears.

Is coming to Grand Junction, CO? Wait, what? July 1st at little bitty Las Colonias Ampitheater for $48.50 lawn seating. We never get the big acts. I think he last came our way in 2002. In 2007 my wife was working at the Hampton Inn here in Montrose and helped Dylan with the internet which was acting up in the lobby. She didn't know it was him. The internet was down and he sat in the lobby writing postcards to his family, which he had her mail. She came home and said what does he look like. When we figured out it was his tour bus coming from Telluride I showed her a recent pic and she said she didn't think he was as old as that. Just some beat looking guy in a jean jacket she thought.

Coloradoan Maggie Peterson passed away Sunday at age 81. She played Charlene Darling on The Andy Griffith Show. She was always curling up around Andy and wanting to marry him. The episode with the Darlings were always my favorite. And the music was cookin'! Ernest T. Bass episodes were my next favorite. Or Otis the drunk.

Vguy, I was shooting for CSNY's Our House but I'll take the credit for Men Without Hats just as well. Thanks!

DaveRock, being home so much has been the best time for the pets but if you're retired just go for it. I've known some great little bulldogs. Mellow and self assured.
Cheers all!

How Dogs Became Man’s Best Friend

A story told by some Native American peoples is that the Great Spirit decided to divide the worlds of animals and man.
He gathered all the living beings on a great plain and drew a line in the dirt.
On one side of the line stood man and on the other side stood all of the animals of the earth.
When that line began to open up into a great canyon and at the last moment
Before it became too great to cross, the dog jumped over and stood by man.

Alert!

Real Gone has the mother load of GD drops right now, many many many Dick's Picks and Road Trips have appeared on their website.
These usually go pretty quickly...just wanted to alert the peeps.

Loving the feedback on DaP42, along with the touching, funny, heartwarming pet stories and impacts.
We love our 9 year old english sheepdog; he is certainly in his twilight years for a big dog breed, but he continues to maintain his puppy-esque personality nonetheless. Love your pets like family, as I know we all do.

Be Well People!
Sixtus

P.S> 6/10/73 = Sixtus' actual birthday-day....what a treat it would be to finally bring this one to The Masses! I say Yes.

Cool story, I love native culture.

Hey, why do dogs love snow so much…they don’t have to shovel ; )

Damn, Tampa’s looking tough! I’m getting the vibe the league wants a three peat?
Not that it’s fixed or anything, just think sometimes they add a little English?
Agree love/hate but Tampa is the only team in the East I can abide.
AVs had to work for it last night. Second game I believe they needed over 50 SOG to getter done. It’s a shame that both Ingram and bingo played awesome then ended up losing. Though it’s not good for my stress lol, I think it’s good the AVs have been tested. I don’t think the out comes reflect how close some of the games have been. I always say there is nothing like a super hot goalie in the playoffs. Many times I’ve seen a mediocre team go far because of the goalie!
GAME ON!
Yeah Jack, would have been cool if the battle of Alberta was the conference finals?

You make it sound very attractive. I do seem to spend more time looking at frenchies online than I should do, so maybe I should branch out. It would change my life !

Not many people can claim to have met Bob Dylan. My ex partner told me she opened her front door once-maybe 25 years ago - and there was no one else about, but Mick Jagger was standing there, looking at her. She couldn't believe her eyes, but she did pull herself together enough to ask him if he would like to come in for a cup of tea - typical English girl. She said he laughed, and asked her directions to a local pub, which he was trying to find. There was a limo near by, and his father and a driver were sitting in it. Apparently his dad grew up in that area and Mick Jagger was escorting him to places he remembered from the past. He didn't come in for the cup of tea.

Dennis - That’s a pretty nifty story!

Jack - I thought the villagers would loot and burn the town after another Leaf let down, but everyone seems to be taking it in stride. Maybe it is resignation or surrender, but…

Oro - Tampa Bay is the team you just love to hate, but truth is, they are pretty good. Would the league like a three-peat? Next to a Cup in the Big Apple, they would like nothing more.

DaP 42 finally landed.

Riddle me this, Dead Heads: What is the LOWEST number you have ever had on a limited edition Dave’s Pick? Mine was 58, for DaP 39.

On DaP13. Actually my first DaP.
Most of my DaPs are 10k-20k numbers.
My jewel is the July '78 box, #36.
How appropriate since it contains my first show.
Cheers
Edit: Were Dick's Picks not limited editions? Not finding #'s on those.

Funny, my July 1978 box also has the lowest number I've gotten so far: #54.

DaP42 has finally arrived here in Gloucestershire in the UK. Aside from the car crash that was DaP31 in Europe, I've never had any problems with my GD subscriptions but have read have read many posts from people who have, so was wondering if this one was my turn. Thankfully not.

Dennis, also loved the native Indian story, one that will stay with me I think.

Simonrob, Little Feat in London; not '78 as I don't believe they came here then. Would have been The Rainbow in '77, but they also played the Hammersmith Odeon in '76, so maybe you still have the same issue, albeit with a different year.
