    Wow! There was a long time where I thought I was the only school administrator who was a "deadhead". The best thing is the attitude you bring to the job that creates a culture unlike any you will find in school system! I run a charter school and answer only to my board Your guy may have mandates and orders from on high - it a livin, we all gotta eat - don't fault him for that. Oh - yeah the whole point - I was able to secure a grant that allows our students to drum in the morning (we were able to purchase 150 different kinds of hand drums). Drumming for wellness is what we call it. t's voluntary, but there are few who do not participate. We have K-12 in one building and what an awesome sight - and sound to watch and hear those kids play every morning. They start the day smiling! As for the rousing Bertha every morning - many don't get it - I also teach a literary theory class and pass out "poems" by Robert Hunter for them to analyze and have yet to have a student say, "hey this is a dead song." While I think it would be great - it's something they have to come to on their own ( my son is 18 and I took him to Buffalo and Rothbury - Have a true convert - awesome!). Not many out there who really live for the music instead of the party (not that the party ins't great - but make the show ya know). There's a reason only 1% of the poulation get it! To tell you the truth, i'm glad it isn't more and even happier that I am one of 1%!! Truly, WEIR EVERYWHERE!!!

    My family and I recently had some adventures in Rocky Mountian National Park. I couldn't figure out how to post the videos here, but here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlNLEKVRBTg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmbjaiWh6BI The first one is of my kids at 12000ft with some elk. The second is one of many waterfalls on the way up.

    I suppose a rousing version of 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' at the start of every day might be considered inappropriate!

    Opening the morning classes, I'd fade in with a kick-ass version of Bertha. At the closing bell I'd do an 8 beat BIODTL. Best wishes for a successful school year for you and your students, Caroline.

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/

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.

look out into the night sky in the next few weeks about two hours before dawn and see the zodiacal lights. once thought to be light reflecting from earths atmosphere, is now known to be light reflected from random particles from one meter to microscopic in size extending from the atmosphere of the sun to the orbit of mars and are spread out along the plane of the ecliptic (the path the sun follows throughout the year). Hence the reason for the name Zodiacal Light is because it is seen projected against the zodiacal constellations.The best time to see the Zodiacal Light is when the ecliptic appears most nearly vertical to the horizon. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the best morning views in the eastern sky will come during the next few weeks without the interference of bright moonlight. Conversely, for those who live in the Southern Hemisphere, the best views now are in the western evening sky right after sunset A ghostly slanted pyramid,the Zodiacal Light is something you have to see to believe.

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but....Did anyone see the Feb 14th 1970 video of Dark Star that was on youtube?? The video (yes video not Aud) went for 10 minutes and looked like it was taken from the front row or so. And it def was of the Feb 14th dark Star as I have this on tape and double checked. If so, it would have to be the earliest Dark Star on video. Who posted it???and does anyone have a copy of that???? I even emailed the bear and he seemed to think it was a fake, but i have no doubt about it.. Cheers

Hi. Nope it was taken down a few months ago. It was posted by someone called Username99999 or something like that whose account has since "been suspended". I'm telling you it was the exact Dark Star, and this guy posted absolutely heaps of GD stuff. He wrote at the time a detailed account of how it was recorded etc. and transferred. I tried to copy it to a cd but it didnt work. I also added it to my list of favourites but was taken off youtube. I wrote about it to my yahoo group dead_heads. Anyone else there saw it???????????
