    I saw Merl with JGB a few times and spoke with him briefly at the Stone on Broadway in SF. He was a great musician and a wonderfully warm human being. The world was a better place for him having lived in it.

    RIP MERL
    Merl Saunders Washington :: 02/14/34 - 10/24/08 Merl Saunders by Bob Minkin Merl Saunders was born Merl Saunders Washington (he dropped the "Washington" for show biz purposes) in San Mateo, California on February 14, 1934; he passed away early this morning (October 24, 2008) at Kaiser Hospital in San Francisco. Saunders grew up in San Francisco and was a proficient piano player by age 10. He attended Polytechnic High School, Served in the Air Force and Attended University of Mainz in Germany. Saunders married Betty Crenshaw and leaves behind three children (Anthony Saunders, Merl Saunders Jr., Susan Saunders) and a number of grand kids. Saunders became one of the preeminent Hammond B-3 player of his generation; beginning his long strange trip by apprenticing with the great Jimmy Smith. In 1970 Saunders began playing with Jerry Garcia in the Bay Area under bands called Legion of Mary and then Garcia/Saunders. The duo recorded a number of famous albums including Heavy Turbulence, Fire Up, and Live at the Keystone. Their 1990 collaboration, Blues from the Rainforest, was a Billboard Top 10 in the New Age category. Saunders contributed to the Grateful Dead album Grateful Dead (1971), and in the mid-1980s worked with the band as musical director for the "Twilight Zone" television show. He became known as the senior member of the jam band scene having played with Phish, Blues Traveler and Widespread Panic. He was instrumental in allowing young talent to play and record with him, giving first opportunity to the likes of Sheila E, Chris Hayes (Huey Lewis & the News), Bonnie Hayes (Billy Idol) and Bob Steeler (Hot Tuna). In parallel to his rock career, Saunders worked as a jazz trio player, performing and recording with Harry Belafonte, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Hampton, Miles Davis, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, and Paul Butterfield. He also contributed to the scores of the films "Heavy Traffic" and "Fritz the Cat." http://www.merlsaunders.com/

It's a new book I bought about the Tao of activism and leadership. It uses and explains references from the Tao te Ching, one of the most important historical works of ancient Chinese philosophy, and inspires readers to become more involved in different ways and explains how the Tao can be used in today's world. I just started it and can't put it down! ~littlebri

I woke up in the middle of the night with a few of these lines making there way from my sub-concious into my semi-comatse conciousness runiig through my head... Cosmic Badger Cosmic Badger what's up with you You travel so far, that's what you do To 'WhereverthefuckitisStan' you flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Cooking up a pot of badger stew Light the fire -- put it under you Out the window a Great Tit flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Now you have just one more chance We all wanna see the Badger dance Trippin out and in a trance Poke my eyes, with a lance Meeting you in an airport bar Looking at the sky we see Dark Star Drinking beers all during the day My ears are clogged, 'what did you say?' You said you're a badger or are you a skunk Don't really know but there's a funk Is it you or is it me? Don't know, but CC's gotta pee CC Joe, the cops are on to you You are taking so damn long in the loo What you got there in your hand? What comes out is dry like sand You're feeling that 'itch' aren't you? Your old lady knows what you wanna do Poor old CC, please don't feel blue Turning her back she's just stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Maybe later, she says with a sigh Old CC is starting to cry No worries, mate. She's joking with you Get in bed, she says to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you KIND TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time for reflection For Everyman, Jackson Browne. Turn it up, sit back and listen, really listen, a song for the times. A song for all of us. This is a song for those who weren't fortunate enough to leave on the wooden ships. This is a song of hope. Let's all take a moment and breathe......reflect........and look at the hope in this wonderful world. Hug your friends embrace your enemies, pull this tiny little planet back together. We have the power, for we are the everyman. Believe it if you will. If you will, it will change the beautiful blue ball in space we all call home. peace and love, brothers and sisters. pk

thankx for making that the easy click on link thang. nice, I appreciate the effort. don't know how to do that myself. that vid, was in FACT brought to our attention by none other than Mr. Robert Hunter (yeah, him!) himself. thankx rh. you can write in Jack Straw from Witchita, but anybody who is anybody, (am I somebody or anybody?) writes in Elvis Presley. Elvis Meets Nixon in one of Elvi's more (ahem) lucid moments, he got it in his head he wanted to go to D.C. and meet the Prez. Elvi (folks in Memphis call him Elvi, didn't you know? -- well, at least my old tour buddy 'Stretch' Alan did) sooo, Elvi wanted to go to D.C. to add to his collection of law enforcement badges. Nixon presented him, irony of irony, with a DEA badge. It IS the TRUTH. the full story which has some really cool links: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/elvis/elnix.html this is some trippy shit... http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/elvis/docs/doc1.pdf one too many percosetts that morning perhaps.... Federal Agent at Large!!! what a hoot! dope smokin' long hairs!!

I turn and walk awayThen I come round again Looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same I must turn down your offer But I'd like to ask a break You know I'm ready to give anything For anything I take Chorus Someone called my name you know I turned around to see It was midnight in the mission and the bells were not for me Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Ten years ago I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dreams at all Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true But everything you gather is just more that you can lose [chorus] All the things I planned to do, I only did half way Tomorrow will be Sunday, born of rainy Saturday There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain No matter what comes down, the mission always looks the same [chorus]

Hugs on the Way Grateful Mom shakes On the road her engine in flames She feels no pain Drunk as a skunk, the mechanic to blame Poised for a fight, she hitch-hikes - ALL RIGHT! Into the light Unlike some Mom can dance, Mom can shake, all in fun Why are we lost? I can pay, for the gas today, what is the cost? To see Mom dance Without Mom everyday, it's like a trance I will say, day by day Anyway, be who you be Mom's special to me She's dancing again, woooo weeeeeeeeeeee! Hugs on the way Well it's your happy, happy birthday today Don't go away 'Cause we love you so much, I want to say I will say, Happy b-day today! Go your own way, Mom, we love you One of a few Without Mom in the scene we'll all feel blue Hugs on the way Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
