    High water risin’—risin’ night and dayAll the gold and silver are bein' stolen away Big Joe Turner lookin’ east and west From the dark room of his mind He made it to Kansas City Twelfth Street and Vine Nothin' standing there High water everywhere High water risin’, the shacks are slidin’ down Folks lose their possessions—folks are leaving town Bertha Mason shook it—broke it Then she hung it on a wall Says, “You’re dancin’ with whom they tell you to Or you don’t dance at all” It’s tough out there High water everywhere I got a cravin’ love for blazing speed Got a hopped-up Mustang Ford Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties on the board I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind I’m no pig without a wig I hope you treat me kind Things are breakin’ up out there High water everywhere High water risin’, six inches ’bove my head Coffins droppin’ in the street Like balloons made out of lead Water pourin’ into Vicksburg, don’t know what I’m goin' to do “Don’t reach out for me,” she said “Can’t you see I’m drownin’ too?” It’s rough out there High water everywhere Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew “You can’t open your mind, boys To every conceivable point of view” They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five Judge says to the High Sheriff, “I want him dead or alive Either one, I don’t care” High water everywhere The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies I’m preachin’ the Word of God I’m puttin’ out your eyes I asked Fat Nancy for somethin' to eat, she said, “Take it off the shelf— As great as you are a man You’ll never be greater than yourself” I told her I didn’t really care High water everywhere I’m gettin’ up in the morning—I believe I’ll dust my broom Keeping away from the women I’m givin’ ’em lots of room Thunder rolling over Clarkesdale, everything is looking blue I just can’t be happy, love Unless you’re happy too It’s bad out there High water everywhere.......

    Hey there Daydreamers, Trying to keep our heads above water here in the Mississippi river Valley We may need a boat to row before too long. Hopefully the bus has oars! We managed to hike 9.5 miles in the St. Francois mtns but had to turn back early, due to high water Biding our time in the river city before we journey to the windy city. Man the sails dus briver the winds are high!

    @Leadbelly....the real story
    Last Saturday night, I got married,Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife are parted, I'm gonna take another stroll downtown Sometimes I live in the country, Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion, To jump into the river and drown I love Irene, God knows I do, I'll love her till the seas run dry But if Irene should turn me down, I'd take the morphine and die Stop rambling, stop your gambling, Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and your family, Stay there by your fireside bright So goodnight Irene, goodnight..... I'll see you in my dreams...

    Whew! That was a loooooong nap I took in the back there, eh? Thanks for the constant lullabies there. Make for sweet dreaming. 41 posts later... Hey. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! This is a special day! Have a sweet one all you dads and daddies. :) Say. Something really cool happened on Thursday (my mom's birthday incidentally). I got my first paid editing gig that night that wasn't from a friend, family member, or school newspaper, so... Thanks. I know it's a part of the motion that made me: 1) Read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (FINALLY) on a beach in Thailand in December 2) Decide on a meditation cushion in Burma in January that I was going to see the Dead 3) Look into it right on time when I got home and set about it with an open hand 4) Bring those golden intentions to fruition 5) Be open to joining up with y'all 6) Continue to dream and voice what I would like in my life while keeping this current one afloat... Sometimes this bus feels like a monastery/a mirror, or maybe a spot to work out those kinks we got wrong in kindergarten. Anyhow. Sometimes y'all bring out the best in me, so thank you. Okay. Clearly delirious. Someone tell me to go back to sleep. I know all your voices chatting away will sound like a river singing sweet songs. xo

    Chicago psychedelic art.. sort of
    Hey there, I hope the forum lets me post links, sometimes it freaks out and thinks links imply spam. Anyhow.. I was viewing some images produced by stacked neural networks here.. pretty groovy stuff. http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-in… In that collection there is a neural net generated freak out of Georges Searut's pointilist painting " A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte".. seeing that I realized that the "la Grande Jatte" painting is in Chicago, within walking distance of the concert. The painting is huge, like 10 feet long. Sort of a nice thing to stare out when feeling grateful. -- Tom

Hi campers and camperettes- I've had three different kind folks bring up the fact that the Sunshine Daydream thread seems to be written in code, or that they can't quite get a handle on the issues being discussed. Please keep in mind that our Bus driver and resident wit is channeling the not only the spirit of the GD in their space-jams, but also the personalities of Jack Kerouac, Hunter Thompson, Neal Cassady and the allegorical spaciness inherent in those many years of special Kool-aid tests that Tom Wolfe wrote about so eloquently back in'68. The idea is for all of us to think "out-of-the-box" as we prepare for this grand reunion, or as some might say, just get out-there with it all (in a friendly way). Also, the Merry Pranksters took a bit of a bus ride back in '64, and the spirit of those sketchy fragmented experiences and stories, birthed during that journey, are also prevalent in the various comments we are all reading. As we get closer to our destination, please know that there may be a gradual increase in the number of posts that actually make sense, and will help to guide us to a safe landing. Until then, keep your tin-foil hats on with antennas pointed in the proper direction, tighten those seat-belts and enjoy the ride. For we are not just the best at what we do, we are the only ones that do what we do. cheers- Geo-the-voice-of-reason-meister

The lack of a Santa Clara announcement, communication or even an acknowledgement of the possibility has driven me to depression. The lack of a response from the organization and its company/administration I consider seriously insulting. I'm taking a break from the day-to-day postings. Will check PMs and e-mails. Love you all, take care of each other...

Horse has prohibited any future avatar changes. He has his CID package and he will be in Chicago. He will be at the front of the Pit, for his tickets are superior to mine. He is in absolute control of things on this end. It's all one long song.

Horse is his official stage name, verifiable on his website. But he's cool with "T" as a nickname. He's excited about the bling, but refuses to get a Mohawk. He just completed performing a masterful rendition of Bob Dylan's 115Th Dream with sunglasses on.

Not withstanding my earlier characterizations, and continuing the discussion, there are many ways one can view the thoughts and the happenstance responses that find their ways onto our fine Sunshine Daydream Home Thread. For instance, within the rambling stories that weave their collective ways through these fine forum threads, there is also a discussion, a sermon, a pleading, a dream, a dance, a song or three, and a reaching out. Whether it is from a Brother or a Sister or a Father or a Mother or a Daughter or a Son, it is real...or maybe not. But guaranteed, Somebody cares about Something, be it Real or Imagined, and they are letting all of us know. Turn up the Bass, Tune the Banjo, shut up during Space, I need a ticket, Who's on first, it's important, whatever it is. So we reads, and we posts, and we explore. We share. We anticipate, we plan, we rejoice and we get saddened....hopefully, the saddened moments are brief and fleeting, and if they are not, they are somewhat lessened by the comfort our family can give. We are fed, and we feed others. We are family. Sunshine DayDream: At Once a Thread, a Home, A Couch, A Bus, A Book, a Church, a Soapbox and Thank you very much rgrgrrgr, a dining room. A Pic-i-Nic? Certainly. over there, at the SE corner of the Buckingham Fountain, in that little grove of trees. Meet-ups start as soon as you can get there, and end after the last people say adios. Bring your own everything, and a bit more for your neighbor. A Mayor? We have several, they meet here. Not unlike the park bench over at the town square in Maintown, USA, populated with those Who Make The Important Decisions, they have this place. No one is in charge, each gets to be a blowhard as the baton is passed, and all issues are carefully pondered on before a proposal is offered or a decision is made. Each is a Mayor in His/Her own right. All of us get to drive, to give advice, to give directions or ask questions or provide answers or extend a helping hand or share an encouraging word. A Horse? Now that's another issue altogether. Hey you over there with your hand up...tell us about this horse deal. Film at Eleven...thanks for staying to the end....or is it.... PS I Miss Jerry too! geopondermeister
