Grateful Dead

I am excited about Bedard as well. The Blackhawks need to become relevant again.

On the day of the draft, some of the fine folks Chicago called it CBD. Connor Bedard Day. Let's hope so.

There's a real treasure trove of psychedelic compilations that have been released in Britain over the last few years. This "March of the Flower Children" looks good, and I noticed there is another U.S. one called "We're An American Band" which features heavier bands ( I would think) from 1967-1973.
A lot of these comps are on the Grapefruit label - 3cds, nice informative booklets and not to large in size - about as big as a single cd. Top stuff!

Jack - I prefer to think RJ was “Ours”, the best of both sides. I’m sorry he will be missing his team this year, because they are my definite Darkhorse in the East this year. Going to be watching this Bedard kid in Chicago closely, too.

Dennis - I’m glad to hear your Mrs’ credit card is still working great! I’m going to be ordering that set, too. You can never have enough Vanilla Fudge. Sorry about the cost of the meds, wow! Come to Canada, much cheaper.

Proudfoot - Full marks - “ March of the Flower Children” is a Seeds song. My favourite of theirs is “Pushing Too Hard”.

My apologies for the oversight. I should have included you as well. After all, RJ was one of yours. Buffalo only adopted him.

... you probably want Kenny Rodger's Quick Pickin' and Fun Strummin' music course.

....singing mussels and cockles alive, alive-O

.... you just cost me money with Marching Flower Children. On the Pros,,,, cheapish at 30 bucks for 3 cd's,,, Con's coming from England,,,, will take as long as a Dave's Pick coming from Merica :-).

You further complicated things,,,,, I checked the list and my eyes locked on the Vanilla Fudge doing You Keep Me Hanging On. Ran upstairs to hear, because. While checking found the stock versions was 3 minutes,,, on boobtube they had the uncut 7 minute version. Stop the presses,,,, had to download that copy and label and add to Vanilla Fudge's - Psychedelic Sundae - The Best of Vanilla Fudge. Hard to believe it wasn't on that album? But now my copy has 19 cuts instead of 18 :-)

Speaking of money,,,, Joni released Vol 3 of the Joni stuff (The Asylum Years 72-75),,, since I have the first two....... guess I got the cd's and vinyl coming.

Oh what the hell I throw this on the pile,,,, they want to start me on Humira,,,,, my end after deductible 8K!!! Why make drugs no one can afford? Also it seems their selling smack,,,, once you start, you can't stop!

Ok, sorry rant off

One of my favorite distiller's or shiner's phrases. (And yes i ran some sqeezins as a kid, moe l8ter.)

Waiting on the Wake of the Flood - The Angel's Share info to drop. It is on dead.net as a flac. Any CD's of this coming?

on amazon music also

I think that was a song by the Seeds.

I listen to the Seeds from time to time. Many great tracks. Chocolate River is one of them.

90 minutes later...

Yeah. The Seeds. Gooood stuff.

Check out Up In Her Room, if you dare.

Thank you for helping get the Seeds onto my radar again, ThatsMike!

Thank you for the Zamfir reference. I haven't thought of that cat for a long time.

Zamfir...wow. Him and Slim Whitman.

I recall Johnny Carson doing a Zamfir spoof at some point.

For those craving a little more psychedelic in their diet, there is a new release out titled “ March of the Flower Children: The American Sounds of 1967” that includes a great sample of somewhat obscure bands and acts from that era with the far out band names (The Unforscene; The Balloon Farm, etc) interspersed with many of the era’s well known acts, including the Grateful Dead. An interesting lineup.

AJS - I read this morning about RJ passing. He was revered on this side of the lake, too. Sad to hear he passed, one of a kind.

Dennis - Nice to see you up and around.
