    Sad to hear of Glenn Frey's passing--he and Don Henley were a big part of the Aspen/Snowmass/Woody Creek scene for many years. You were just there, amirite? One of my friends used to be the caretaker for Don Henley and she said that his philosophy was that people go to concerts to be able to sing along with the exact recording, so he always wanted the concert to be consistent with the CD. Legend had it that he would fire backing musicians if they missed a beat or a note. I always thought it is the antithesis of the Dead in that respect, but very enjoyable music nonetheless. RIP. Also, hello Klang--hope you are well!

    Rest in peace Glenn Fry, singer songwriter extraordinaire. I wonder if Don Felder paid him a visit and made nice before the end. I would like to think so... Take it easy... - klang

    That is great that you were able to see him live. His producer has said that his latest album and video were a parting gift to his fans. I dont have it in me to watch it right now but the first line from the new single is "Look up here, I'm in Heaven." If there is a Heaven, that is where David Bowie belongs...Rock'n'Roll Heaven.

    Yes, a sad day as David was a unique talent. I called an old friend today and reminisced about going to see the Sound+Vision tour in 1990. Bowie was to retire his old songs and you could call in to vote for songs you wanted performed. After voting for Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, well...don't let the sun blast your shadow,don't let the milk float ride your mind. Great memories.

Mr. Mayor , I think it would be way cool to see if the DD could find each other in Ca. Does anyone else feel this way? Long lost brothers and sisters of another Mother meeting for the first time. I know it will be a push but start the bus cause I riding to the last stop

Happy weekend to all. Hey spascarella, I would weigh your level of timing-stress against cost of rental car. Whichever provides you with greater peace of mind... go for it. My two pennies.

Agree with Stella- rental so you don't goMental , but if you don't need it for all the days, see if you can drop it off In Santa Clara once you get in town.

...about a meet and greet. I will start checking around the area for a place we can do a beforehand something or other. Most likely informal I would presume. Let me think on it and start looking. Maybe as mayor I can form a sub committee and delegate to get some local (or more local) help. I am 2 1/2 hours away and haven't been to Levi's yet so I'm not too familiar with what's around there. I have been to Great America amusement park many years ago (before there was a Levi's) and it is right next door. There should be someplace close by, plus I have a hotel room 1 mi. away. We'll figure something out. Alright Sheriff, looks like we have another spreadsheet column. - your Mayor this message is officially endorsed by Klangstone Productions. Ltd

YEAH BABY !!! Now, close that bathroom window :-) Thank you, brotha - now the week is officially underway !!!! And the three men I admired most, the father, son & the holy ghost, they caught the last train for the coast... Heard that amazing tune again yesterday - amazing how after not hearing a song for years and years, you remember EVERY word. Incredible music and lyrics put together there regarding "the day the music died." And again, I digress... Happy Monday gang !!!

Tulips busting out all over along with magnolias, cherry blossoms, and the lilacs are just peeking out, whooo hooo, summer in WNY!!!! pass that coffee please, will go with a wonderful Tiramisu for after lunch, gotta have the girlfriend stop or I'll be napping like Kurt....
