    I think if you start a "blog" it will allow you to post photos to the blog. Not sure yet on dedicated photo page... We're movin from da dus to a "techno-house". Geo, does the livingroom have a fireplace? @rrrgrrr glad you enjoyed the show last night. Props to the boys. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Summer's thunder time of year, The sound of music in my ears. Distant bells, New mown grass smells so sweet. By the river holding hands, Roll me up and lay me down. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears.

    @Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Stones at Ralph Wilson Stadium last night.. Quite entertaining....more like a Broadway show, choreographed.... Can't help but think there was something behind the curtain.... Backing tracks ala ELO or Millie Vanilli The show was too damn perfect.... Back in the 70's they were garage band sloppy, not last night. Interesting this zip code tour set has a running time of 2 hours and 10 minutes.... Every show 2 hours and 10 minutes, not 9 not 11.... but I digress.... Glad I got to see them one more time, Mick for a 71 yo has the body of Twiggy....and a lot of energy... IMO the night belonged to Charley Watts....the man can still bring it.... Now on to other matters.... Some folks trust to reason Others trust to might I don't trust to nothing But I know it come out right Say it once again now Oh I hope you understand When it's done and over Lord, a man is just a man Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Some folks look for answers Others look for fights Some folks up in treetops Just look to see the sights I can tell your future Look what's in your hand But I can't stop for nothing I'm just playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Standing on a tower World at my command You just keep a turning While I'm playing in the band If a man among you Got no sin upon his hand Let him cast a stone at me For playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land

    It's fun being on the roab and listen to the banter an sing songs...when it is time to park, the website has a garage, and we can all pile out and hang out in the living room. Guess what's always playing?

    @Graceful...
    Once again my friend, a spot-on post. I'm as much to blame as anyone, especially given Geo's generosity to fund the SD.com URL. Maybe it's the navigation, maybe it's the UI, but I could use a little schooling on say, how to get straight to the blogs, post & read, or, how to download & upload shared pics. Anyone care to take a swag at a user manual/SD.com for dummies documentation?

    Our Basic Problem: The tools don't match the function
    The Sunshine Daydreamers are alive and well. The Sunshine Daydreamers remain electrified by what happened in Chicago and want to continue to share the experience. The tools we are using to get that done, however, are showing their weaknesses. The flaws on the email side are apparent: the stream of consciousness, reply all activity can be exhilarating when there is a hot topic, but that is better suited to a chat room function, and so last week we had several more people withdraw from the email list in frustration. The Dead.net forum has obvious shortcomings as well, principally that its only organization is chronological: if there had been a new Pearl of the Day several days ago from Meister Geo, I would only find it by wading back through pages of song lyrics; and then I would only be hoping to find something because there is no possibility to check if there is a new post from a particular individual. It would seem to we need to all take a step forward, as one, to the SunshineDaydreamers.com site that was so generously organized for us. There is a blog section that can have thematic organization (so that the discussion last week about which covers were played would not be spread over four email threads (none of the Subjects of which mentioned playlists nor covers)). I have not seen enough posting to know for sure, but it seems possible that one can approach that forum and check to see who has made a new post, and then make a choice whether to have a look at the 196 posts by one person or the 3 posts from someone else. Yes, there is a password, but we all had passwords on Dead.net where we started out, so that can't really be much of an obstacle. Just sayin people, we need to channel this gusher of love and enthusiasm; got to make sure its built to last.

Totes has a point... My life has been lived in the moment for a while now....about 2 years... This merry band of strangers have been brought together by a cultural phenomenon and will convene for but a second in our virtual lives... I am happy to support and contribute ideas for a website...if asked Unfortunately I am unlikely to use it as well... But....I do understand that some people need living testaments and memorials and others like me are fine with the faded memories....they are almost always better than the real thing. Irrespective of personal preferences ...our collective thanks go to geohelpingtobuildamemorialforSunshinedaydreamersastheyseefitmeister After all we all have our own paths to follow... someone set me straight on that just about a month ago.... And I'm so lost down mine there ain't no going back! thanks George...hope you're feeling the love... :-)

Well said rrrrrgrrrrr. As much as these memories will live on and be a part me, it's all forward motion. The scrapbook idea is very nice though. I guess the SSDDer mission statement needs to be revised now. Contact the Poobah, we need chase this wabbit down the hole and create an IT department! The pill mother gave me didn't do anything at all. Tap, tap. Dammit, is this thing on? Where's Alice, I think she'll know. Hey Alice!

Amen to that, and amen to Totem, I don't know nothin about no website. Whose dumb/clever idea was that? Actually, the URLs were procured so no scum bag would grab them and try to scalp bootleg tshirts or something. What about that back 40 acre spread down by the river we were planning on getting for an annual pic-a-nic? Who's in charge of that? And what about the go-fund me kickstarter campaign to fund indigent sunshiners? And the Daydreamers? The house band? we gotta have a place to practice, if we existed, which we don't, but I play a mean air-guitar, and keep knocking into my monitor here. What about the pies? We need more pies. And Ice Cream. And cobbler...a big old dutch oven full of peach cobbler, plenty of cinnamon and maybe a sassafras stick or three. Anyone got 40 acres we can have? maybe with a river, you know, one that we can listen to as it sings sweet songs to rock our souls...and our canoes...gotta have canoes... Gonna be a nice pic-a-nic... Have a great day everyone... geomusemeister

All of matter is just very very very very very very condensed energy - no one has ever been here ever, but still there are albums and memories, faded and clear, and every once in an while a service is born from an idea and sometimes it helps... nothing born out of nothing and that's become everything. We are all in the story. Some will be on the site or in the non-profit, and it's all just right.

I note that 1) you have been on-board this forum bus since the last decade, and 2) you scored a single sweet Saturday suite ducat in a clever way, and 3) you know the magic handshake and posted on our friendly pic-a-nic board, and 4) it looks like you may already a sunshine daydreamer of the finest caliber and be in Chicago for that celebratory weekend, and last, but not least, 5) you probably do know how the songs go. Noting also that rgrgrrrgr hit the brakes long enough for you to hop on board and you got a nod from him... We welcome you to our friendly group of travelers...it appears all you have to do is PM one of us and you may find yourself taking it to the next level as it were, for we need to get you specific information...like tshirt, meet-ups, etc...for that we need your all important email address. Grab a seat, buckle up, say hi, but watch out, if you raise your hand, rgrgrgrrr may ask you to brive da dus... Good to know you! geonotthepoobahmeister

Went to Oriole Park tonight to see my birds play, and what had been a peaceful demonstration against our local death by cop episode, escalated into a bottle/stone throwing riot right outside the stadium. My first thought was "i hope nothing like this happens in Chicago" Ive GOT to get my head more into the now. I love my city. I believe we we can find justice without tearing it down.. probably just naive. mmmbop bop bop madswan needs more Ghandi.
