    Life hack if you have plants and like bananas....

    ....don't throw away the peels. Chop them up and let them soak in cold water for a couple of hours or so. There are vitamins in the peels. Pour the water onto your plants. It will help Let Them Grow. Greatly yield.
    I learned that on the internet.

    Not recommend....

    ....their new single. Six years? For that? I went in open minded and listened to it three times. I am very disappointed. Dave Mustaine was right.
    Guess they will stay in fifth place.

    Metallica FINALLY announced their first record....

    ....in six years. 72 Seasons. Drops in April. First single is streaming.
    Tour announced as well. No Vegas.
    They are the 5th most band I've seen after the GD, Phish, Iron Maiden and Los Lobos.

    They showed this documentary on T.V. at the weekend - the film that was included in the Jimi box set a few years ago-which I still haven't got round to getting. Curious film - incredible picture and sound, though very frustrating in that it was more talking than music. I guess I should buy the box for the good stuff.

    I thought those hippies were a right shower, though. I can vaguely remember people like Chuck Wein in the early - mid 70's. Slightly older people who had dropped out, and who sought to enlighten those around them with gems of spiritual insight. There was a guy in Oldham like that -had the most beautiful girlfriend who very rarely spoke. I can remember telling her once that I had been to see Genesis, and that they had put on good show. She stared at me for what seemed like ages, and then whispered "We are tired of shows." I felt like a right schmuck. It was as though she had stared into the heart and soul of the universe, and could no longer tolerate artifice of any kind.

    Yes - Happy Birthday Simon. Don't set your guitar on fire!

    VGUY, I can so relate to driving alone while listening to anything I damn well please. I could make my 8 1/2 hour drive to New Hampshire a breeze. Going all the way back to the cassette era, 4 concerts would usually get me there, but occasionally I would just play 8-12 regular albums, be it on cassette or CD.
    I still mostly listen to albums start to finish. On occasion I will break that custom, but it’s unusual for me. I think that’s yet more proof of my dinosaur status. Still, I don’t care about that. Great music can make a long drive feel like a very short drive. The right 3 Phish (or Dead) shows can get you 9 hours!!
    Just before crashing, I decided I needed a nightcap. The problem was, will it be the Fillmore Bonus Disc, or the Beyond Description Bonus Disc?? Can’t really lose either way.
    I went with the Fillmore disc, and boy howdy, I hadn’t listened to that 30 minute Caution in years. Just exploratory in all the best ways.
    For sure I will play the Beyond Description disc tomorrow. Can’t wait to crank up the 32 minute Blues Fir Allah suite. Not to mention a WRS, Estimated, and a Shakedown. Man, I feel totally blessed right now, even though my 4-day weekend is officially over.
    Best wishes to all whether you’re going through ups, downs or in betweens.

    Seven hour drive back....

    ....the best thing about driving solo, is that a can listen to whatever the hell I want to without anyone bitching.
    Started with some more Oingo Boingo. Good sing along songs imo, then the Dolphins/Texans game. Go 🐬's. Then Dave's 44. Then. Then the second set of Phish @ Amsterdam 7.2.97. Whoo boy. Lucky I didn't get pulled over listening to that. Badass set. Four songs. Thirty minute classic Stash followed by Llama then the Wormtown Jam, which is a one off mashed up Steve Miller's Swingtown with Anastasio's acid trip the night before where he rode on the backs of worms 🪱 in the canals of Amsterdam after going into a portalet, then Wading In The Velvet Sea.
    I think I blew out my driver's door speaker.
    Apologies if that's not your jam, but like I said, it's nice to drive solo.
    Edit. Seems the dogs need food. Perfect excuse for the Free, David Bowie encore y'all!
    Happy belated birthday Jimi and Simonrob. Rock on my brothers.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

If I could pick only one Grateful Dead show to see out of all the shows they played, it would be one of the acoustic/ electric shows from 1970.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

Send a PM to MaryE.

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carlo, losing a pet is very sad.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
