cool pic

not my picture, but very cool: yeah, of course I knew that, mochiron, sore ga, yoku wakarimashita yo. yoku shitte irunda. (ok, I am showing off) but I am illiterate, sad to say. ) -; anyways, even if you can't read Japanese or understand Chinese characters, you can kind of wade through this, and it is pretty cool. http://www.geocities.jp/takaidoyos/ I've only ever run into one Thai deadhead kid, living on the beach on the Island of Koh Lanta. He was playing an accoustic guitar, and as we were passing by, he noticed my old lady's trademark EXTREMELY large Steal your face t; and he broke into Ripple. cool dude, I didn't speak much Thai in those daze, and he didn't speak much English, but it was a "mak mak sanuk" time! he knew about 30 or 40 dead songs by heart. but his pronunciation of the words was a bit "tonal" and then there was the story of getting 'accosted' by a middle aged Indian gent at the Taj Mahal gardens early on Christmas morning last year... well, that was also an experience to say the least. we are everywhere! peace.

I think I'm going Japanese, I really think so

Yes, the Japanese written language is based on the Chinese characters. You knew that. They got art styles, poetry styles, Buddhism and much more from China and incorporated it into their own The brilliance of the Japanese is their ability to adopt elements from other cultures and perfect them. Take a look at the late 19th century - Meiji Restoration how quick they westernized. Then after WW 2 how quickly they recovered (with McArthur plan of course) and became leaders in technology. I thank the Japanese for most of the great stereo components I've had over the years. So the Japanese are big Elvis fans, and there are Japanese Elvis impersonators. Wonder if they get the Dead thing at all. A Japanese Grateful Dead tribute band. Interesting concept. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

didn't mean any offense to China

I certainly didn't mean any offense against China or Chinese culture etc. etc. just pointing out a fairly well known fact these days that there are plenty of fake goods out there and so on and so forth. I will try to take a snap of the label from the t-shirt and you can judge if it looks official or not. It seems real, and it is also marked with the import / export comany's name... (this is a t-shirt, well, one of several, my old lady found in Japan) so the label is actually in Japanese. but hey!! isn't Japanese language really based on CHINESE characters??!! giving credit where credit is due. What was it Tony Soprano said about spaghetti?: 'why would a people invent a food you need a fork to eat?' something like that anyways... ( -;

Ah Hah!

Those Chinese mass producers are not so smart as it would seem now, would it? Couldn't perfect the "unbreakable" bowl, could they? Wait just a minute.... (GRTUD shakes fist in air while screaming amidst mounds of shattered "china", while simultaneously, in his "thought cloud", yellow skinned, black haired humans with narrow eye openings and wooden sandals chuckle, while looking down on the scene from the "thought cloud"), "The bowls are NOT unbreakable.... (sobs) another marketing scheme! How could I fall for such gimmicks? DOH!" The Dude Abides!

Breaking China

Just I sent the one above off the dishes in the drain shifted and a china bowl made in China with hand painted pictures of dragons broke. Coincidence or ? If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

China

Don't forget some of the greatest poetry of all time especially from the T'ang and Sung Dynasties, scroll paintings, calligraphy, the birthplace of Taoism and its subsequent meeting with Buddhism to become Zen, Tai Chi, martial arts, a type of medicine that is not as invasive as that of the western model, amazing architecture, fireworks, good food and beautiful women.

chinese inventions

Suggest you give concerned daughter a big hug and send her to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_inventions Many of them seem do to be to do with blowing stuff up but all the same where we be without having stolen/borrowed all that stuff!! What goes round comes around! Also the 'made in China' label may be official stuff; it may just be shorthand for 'Designed in USA/Europe, outsourced to China for their cheap labour so that we can make more money from you suckers' Poor heathaafeathaa daughter....world so complicated!

still on the first

still on the first round... I am putting it up again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejV8VfjIFik peace.

now imagine Playing in the band or Estimated if Jerry was using a voice box along with a wah wah!!!! that would be seriously trippy ( -; "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

Finally

got the explorer working. First guess after actually hearing the clip: "Peggy-O"

CC Rider 8/16/80

"From day to day, just lettin' it ride,You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

NOT Peggy O or CC Rider

nope, nice guesses, but neither Peggy O or CC Rider and the show was from 1982... pretty close with the year, though!! peace "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

O.k.

Upon further review I've concluded that the sound bit is "Touch." If it isn't "Touch" then it's "Bertha."

Regarding Everything and Nothing

Oh, yeah, about the "Playin'" Controversy: I couldn't find a real good comparison with Keith on keys as it seemed he used the Wah-Wah until Keith left and ditched it around the time that Brent came around. I definitely like both styles, but the Stratocaster + Wah-Wah is a tone that just really did something for me. Now, its not like I'd ever complain about hearing it either way, but yes, Joe, you did point out many other factors that contributed to the "not quite the samedness" of the two versions, but I did the same thing you did: I listened to so many versions of Playin' that just floored me that I forgot what I was doing! Bozo Bus: I was in a band called "San Pedro Circus" back in 2001 when I played there. We were on tour and I had a bunch of my Denver buddies show up so it was kind of extra special for me. That and I actually played well that night which I had been struggling with at the time. I think there was an opening band, but green cookies and two hours worth of basketball in the hot sun before the gig make most of it very blurry. Somebody call this tune quick before Joe starts thinking he is a genius or something. (nyuk nyuk nyuk!) )(I'm just a, well...porpoise.)(

not touch, not

not touch, not Bertha... nice guesses. Sken, I used to be a genius, then I realized it is more fun to be a 'fool' on the ship of fools... You thought you was the cool fool, and never would do no wrong... Heaven help the fool; guess I showed the sons of bitches Heaven help the fool, professional gimme-fiver... The wisdom of hypocrisy, the common sense of fools... Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools... peace. by the by, I've been waiting for Gypsy Soul to try this round... she was the one who coaxed me into hosting this gameshow in the first place. ain't it always the way? just when you think you are developing a fan base, they skip out on you... the show must go on.

Franklin's

I'm putting every upbeat song in A that I know - one at a time. "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

nice try, but nope. not Sugar Mag. OK, one hint... this particular song is the first song of a second set played in 1982. if no one guesses this one in the next 48 hours, I'll tell the answer and move on to round two. please don't touch that dial.
