Grateful Dead

Niiiiice!

Hope all have a great weekend!

....Pun in. Ten dead.

once you start you keep doing it

Couldn't resist chirping in. Cornell has a free app for bird ID, called Merlin. It's excellent. One of the great features is Sound ID, simple, great concept. Install the free app on your phone, get close to the bird sound, press record. You will see a rolling audio graph and birds will be identified by their sounds. It can pick out birds from hundreds of yards away, individuals, multiple bird songs. ID tag appears with tiny photos, which lights up repeatedly every time it detects that bird. When you stop recording, you have a record, time and place stamped, which birds were recorded. Especially good for birds which are reclusive, ovenbirds, etc. Also to ID birds which can sound and look alike, such as the warblers. There are full screen photos available for straight visual ID as well. And yep, that sure sounds like Mourning Doves.

Try googling Mourning Dove for that 4 woo call.
Sad (hence mourning) 4 woo call with the first one going up, then down. And a slight pause between woo 2 and 3. Very common but I would have to check some lists on ebird to see if they are common in the Eagle valley. That ebird site is run by Cornell labs if we need a Dead connection to this post, lol.
Cheers

Always has the best tales!
Keep ‘em coming Bra.

Kights that say neet didn’t have their neet working last night.
Seemed a little flat, or was it Dallas was sporting the scared corned animal fighting for their life routine?
Prolly both, hopefully the Kiniggits finish em off at home for da fans mañana…
Damn FLA is looking tough, if it’s them and Vegas it should be an awesome series!

Ok, hup hup down to the mine, quicker it opens, sooner it closes. Sooner we get there, the sooner we get out and drink cold frosty beverages, listen to Dead, and open the patio for the season, woo hoo (think we might be done with snow this year?)🤞 oh, those woo woo woo woo birds are starting to show up. Maybe this year we’re gonna id em ; )
Happy fry yea all!

I was at the UC Santa Barbara Campus Stadium for a Wall Of Sound Show...Maria Muldaur was the opener...it also served as a bachelor party for my buddy John....Next week he and the Mrs will celebrate their 49th Anniversary...yeow...here's the thing though...as we were in line to get in we found a vendor of the most delicious windowpane...he pulled out a small tin of child size band aids...he tore off four band aids from the strip and we opened them and a hit was stuck between the pull off paper and the sticky end of the ban aid...WTF!!!...greatest packaging job I've ever seen...we took our hits and I put my band aid on my hat as did two other of my friends BUT...John put his on his forehead....after a day of frolicking in the sun I looked at John and he was sunburnt to a tee and he still had the band aid on...I reached over and pulled it off and it looked like a light of beam shooting out of his forehead, by the wedding the following week he looked like a partially peeled tomato with a white slot on his forehead, La Señora was not amused....some fun...sadly though as time marches on we lost our two buds that went with us, Dogweed Al and Mousey...another thing about this show was that I took a folding beach chair with me and I used it to lay back and have the music just wash over me...fast forward to the '82 Greek shows Billy was talking about...at the Friday night show I was one of the first in and grabbed the place I wanted...first row off the floor dead center...as people were filing in I saw this one guy looking at me...he walked over and asked me "Were you at UCSB in '74?" I did a double take and started laffing and said yes I was...he told me he saw me laid back on that beach lounger and thought "Man...he looks comfortable!!!" He shook my hand and walked off...ya never know, ya know?

....not worried.

I caught a bit of of Slap Shot last night...Kills me every time...

..that all 4 Daves from 1972 have featured The Other One as it's major jam, rather than Dark Star. All the more reason to dig out Dicks Picks 11 - 9/27/72, and 36 - 9/21/72 to play alongside them to give a fuller picture. That last one also features bonus tracks from 9/3/72 - He's Gone-The Other One-Wharf Rat. That's what you call value for money.
