@there's trouble in River City.....

never thought I'd bring this one out....After all Harold Hill was the Music Man..... Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date Is usually a hussy And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out Is anything but fussy But a woman who'll wait till the third time around Head in the clouds, feet on the ground She's the girl you're glad you found She's your shipoopi Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi The girl who's hard to get Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi But you can win her yet Walk her once just to raise the curtain Then you walk around twice and make for certain Once more in the flower garden She will never get sore if you beg her pardon Do re me fa so la si Do si la sol fa mi re do Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin' If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin' Once more for a pepper-upper She will never get sore on her way to supper Do re me fa sol la si Do si do Now little ol' Sal was a no-gal As anyone could see Lookit her now - she's a go-gal Who only goes for me Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin' If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin' Once more for a pepper-upper She will never get sore on her way to supper Do re me fa sol la si Do si do Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi The girl who's hard to get Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi But you can win her yet Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi The girl who's hard to get Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi But you can win her yet, shipoopi

@ Everything Counts In Large Amounts

Gotta keep on floating down the river... Division is confusion It can drive you up a wall Like any good illusion It ain't anything at all One was always fine before We figured out how to get one more Now it's another and another Still we ain't got nothing at all Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up The lines we draw between things But there's a wall around my heart Talk to climb the big things And still I don't know where to start Fallen angel?s making plans Breaking deals and shaking hands Build it up and you hope that it stands Out further and further apart Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up

And maybe we'll come back To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground (leaving ground) Will things ever be the same again? It's the final countdown. The final countdown Oh! We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall 'Cause maybe they've seen us (seen us) And welcome us all, yeah. With so many light years to go And things to be found (to be found) I'm sure that we'll all miss her so. It's the final countdown... The final count down [2x] The final count down Oh!

@ Happy Friday

What a gorgeous day it is here in STL. Sun is shining, nice cool air and things seem to be pretty calm in the city. When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow, keep your head together and call my name out loud. Soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there. Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, but don't you let them. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

Strangers Stopping Strangers

By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!

Oxygen is REALLY Good

Agreed - I will be REALLY happy come mid June when I get a certified mail tracking number or an email saying "so yeah I will be in this bar before SC shows..." I think we are all good though

Don't do that anymore...

Some may worry that that was my source of paranoia - total on me. Emails are still gone and still weird...

So I know everyone is waiting out this drama with baited breath. To ensure he is on the up and up - he has suggested no cash, no pay pal, that we should just meet in SC and exchange money order for hard tickets face to face. Righteous head. Very glad I was wrong...now to convince those I was in on this with to see the light...

Properlejdi

If he is showing up at Santa Clara with Tix in hand, just wait and buy Money Order then,...there's Post offices there I'm sure.

By The Way....

If this dude is so righteous, why wouldn't he split tix so no one has to take a huge hit like $2600?

Good Question

He doesn't want the hassle and after the decision today I had to make as to who got tix and who didn't I don't know that I blame him - that job sucked. Hard. Yeah we can wait - that was his point. We all need to relax and get our sh*t together...what the one dude say "hey man I am just trying to get my space together before I go into the show..."

Paging Mayor Clangstone

There is a couple wanting to exchange vows at Santa Clara show June 27th. They are seeking someone with the authority to conduct the ceremony. They just posted their request on another forum. Mayor's have this vested authority do they not? This would be pretty cool.

How Awesome is that?

Seriously that is awesome that they want to get married during the intermission - that is awesome. Peace and luv, peace and luv

How Awesome is that?

Hope they can make it happen.

Ought to be someone there to perform the service out of all those people.

I Wonder???

If you can get married at a show,...should'nt it be legal to get divorced at one as well. I guess that could be more difficult when it comes to property distribution. Who get's the Micro-bus,...etc...

Haha/Waah

Haha Bobby - funny. And also your previous emails make sense. If money orders work in person... doesn't cash work in person? I guess if he wants something slim and replaceable, no. Still not sure who this guy is. Where he lives, why he's not going... mysterious. And if he's a hacker stealing emails... that is bad. I would think he would let us all pay separately... But we would still want to be protected - via ebay, or cashortrade, if they do that. Oh LE SIGH.... I'd rather think about happy heads hitching the knot at halftime. <3

Hey properlejdi...

Hey properlejdi, please chk your PM.

Good Morning Sunshine Daydreamers

Off to local Flea Market to search out Vinyl...Last year around this time, I obtained a very nice copy of The White Album, complete with the poster and 4 color Glossy 8x10's (with no circles or arrows drawn on the back explaining what each one was) --Arlo Guthrie reference,.....anyway this was the real deal. The 8x10's of each Beatle were on real Photo paper, not the later issued xerox type pictures, and the serial number is embossed on the front cover,..in white of course, and vinyl in very good to excellent condition. So I felt overjoyed to take it home for a mere $20.00. Sometimes people are in such a hurry to clean out their attic/basement/ that I get these things for a song $1 or $2. I need a miracle everyday!!! Hope everyone is well and this fine Sunday morning finds you all in good spirit.

the lunatic is on the grass

Good morning and be careful out there SDers! Put your money in your shoe. We aren't patching sails and shining rails for nothing. 69 days to the Golden Shore 75 days to Sweet Home Chicago or should that be the other why around? What's for sure right now is we have broken the 60s seal in the countdown which is deserving of some Sunday morning primal Dead wherever you are. Enjoy your day!

....and if the dam bursts, thunder in your ears......

Happy Sunday...going to put on my go to meeting clothes.... I am so sorry, I would have posted earlier but when I woke up the letters on the keys on my keyboard were gone. Now the keys were there but the letters vanished in the air. So after some problem solving, I went to my local supermarket and bought me a box of alphabits.... After some research I glued the individual cereal bit to each respective key and we are back in business.... Wow, what I missed.... a twilight zone email episode... A pending marriage... A roaring silence, a grab of the white album...an early totes count... Ok back to the song.... You shout and no one seems to hear, and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the DSOTM.... have a truly beatific day.... If you don't know it, look it up don't just skip over the word like I used to.... ;-)

~Good Morning~

Good Morning All Sitting back with first cup of coffee in hand...Puppies on my lap...reading all your posts.... And wanted to greet you all with a smile and wishes for a blessed day

@Saundra....

What a glorious day we have... On second cup of coffee here.... Dog is sleeping, again... Hope you have a restful albeit productive Sunday! :-)

Morning

It's a rainy cool day..perfect for being cozy and kinda lazy..

@rain?

Where's you at? It is sunny and crisp...blue skies, no clouds, high of 70 today...in Buffalo....

Pool side....

And floating in the raft with my new GD 50th Tervis cup. That's my agenda for the day. All are welcome - bring your swimwear :-)

Cool and Clear in CA

I'll cruise for a bit - then into work to make people's days a little brighter. Maybe I'll hear Box of Rain on the radio there. It's been known to happen. Considering playing hooky and meeting you all at the pool... could use a little relaxation and time with a good dog (after being kept up half the night by a busy cat). I'll think about it. Need my second cup. I'm up EARLY today. Believe. I haven't decided what day "Standing on the Moon" will be played, but it's going to happen... both places you think??? xoxo Stells.

sec. 445, row 34

For me, it will be Standing on the Moon all three nights in Chicago :-) Happy Sunday, all.

Haha Sister. Well said.

I'll be in 355 ;)

Perfect Day

Blue skies, not a wisp of wind and forecasted to be in the mid-70's. As soon as I quaff my iced coffee it's off on a run with my trusty canine companion Kai. Although there's plenty of sails to patch and rails to shine, it looks like the office beckons today. It happens. Big event tomorrow, so rehearsal is needed. Hoping to have a Watkins Glen kinda day. . . . Have a good one, everyone!

I did the work for you

Watkins Glen appears to be some sort of Nascar thingy, and funnily enough, posts: Sunday, June 28 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen 69 Days 23 hours 26 minutes 21 seconds We are synching up with words minds and hearts and it feels like it might be alright. Break a leg BobLB!

weddings

Maybe it's a California thing, but quite a few of my friends' wedding ceremonies have been performed by some other friend who went on the internet and got "ordained" as a Universal Life minister.

@rain

Hours later I respond ;)I'm in the western mountains of NC...absolutely beautiful but rainy spring..and I think we may resemble Seattle with current weather pattern..rain 4 days a week of late. Continue to enjoy this perfect Sunday

@marye

That is so cool..... have a serendipitous Sunday... We use this forum to expand our minds and vocabulary.... back to shoveling 6 months of grateful Pyrenees remnants....

Let it rain....

Well it looks like rain, and it feels like rain, here comes the rain... 4/22/78.... Nashville, TN....oooohhhyeahhhhh....Donna was there Cosmic moment here, listening to dead concert on SXM and that song played as I saw your post....

@Cassaundra

How is NC? That has come up in conversation a lot lately - and is currently on my short list in my daydreams of peregrination.

@StellaMoon

I am actually from NC and have lived here majority of my life. It's a beautiful state with Blue Ridge Mountains and incredible beaches so best of both worlds. Asheville is great and I'm near Appalachian State Univeristy. Lots of artists, musicians, forward thinkers. And too much development because of the beauty. Having said that we have high taxes and current political leaders are a bit of an embarrassment. But we're working on changing that :)Come check it out..

@Saundra

Ever hear of a musician named Brittany Reilly.... Her and her boo Brent Hopper.... Played Asheville plenty... Blue grass Jam style Love NC.... YouTube Her version of Luckenback Texas.... To die for....

@stella

I almost forgot...being a mountain girl I felt compelled to tell you the prosopography of us mountain folk..otherwise referred to as 'hill billies" is way wrong. We aren't nelipots in shacks. :) ;)

@rergelis

I just checked them out..great versionI love Bluegrass..this is the home of Doc Watson. Are you by chance going to Dear Jerry?

Sure

"Hey properlejdi, please take your ball and glove and play elsewhere... Dude, your intentions may have been good, but your recklessness yesterday put multiple SD brothers & sisters here in financial jeopardy. We don't need that kind of help. Prop, last night was your final at-bat dude...there's a ton of other places for you to play on dead.net - just don't play here, please. No need for a reply - peace to you. Out." Sure - I will let buddy know to put them back up - I am out a $200 deposit but sure. I was trying to help and if this is the general consensus, sure. Oh and for the record, I would have been out a ton of money too. Also without anyone else but those involved knowing what happened (I paid $2600 yesterday and everyone was afraid - they didn't pay actual hard money; I did). I would suggest you put yourself in my shoes. Paid $2600 to a guy on this site, who just joined, and the emails disappeared from my inbox (no word of a lie) - they are still gone but subsequent emails are still there. This happened right after one of the individuals questioned whether this whole deal was legit. I went numb and started shaking. Buddy gave the money right back and is willing to give the tickets face to face for a money order - doesn't want to be walking around with a wad of cash - don't blame him. Nor does he want to be walking around with 12 tickets and a sign in SC - again don't blame him. So pass judgement all you want - I was trying to help; AND the one taking all the risk. If you were in my shoes, you would have panicked too. For the guy who decided to send me a PM telling me in more polite terms to f-off, sure man. My recklessness was not trying to put people in financial ruin, but rather help out as many as I could. That included me forgoing shows to get others in...so thanks for the judge, jury and execution all in one shot.

@blue grass.....

I love it as well....if you ever get a chance see her...she does play Asheville.... unfortunately no Merriweather for me... promised the better half I'd obsess over Chicago and then I'm out... Been brainwashed by the dead since 73.....at times to family detriment... After 7/6/15 Gonna hang up my travelin shoes.... And live on memories, hopefully the best will be us strangers having become friends on the path to Chicago.... repeat after me....I'm a deadhead... And I miss Jerry....

Absolutely Nothing

Nice...SSIA as Rich would say. Have a blast people.

@bluegrass

This is the great summer for soothing my soul with music...the Chicago shows and the grand adventure getting there has been the focus of my world of late. It is a blessing and I've never been as grateful to be on the bus. I miss Jerry soooo much.

@ grass of any type, not picky

Looking forward to making a hillbillies acquaintence.... fell free to lead the way here....something comes to mind....say it we all drive the Vdub.... Just that I got the map..... peace kid, got more yard cleanup.... wonder if I can trade 80# of dog manure for a ducat?

@ I Know

I too am a Deadhead, and I miss Jerry.

Mauka/Makai

Wow Cassaundra - that is the second time this week I've gotten chills/goose bumps from someone telling me about NC... I for sure ned to check it out. Being from Hawaii with part of my heart in British Columbia, my ideal spot is mountains and ocean. Thank you for the inspo! I know you guys. I miss Jerry too.
