    @ I got a pickle...I gotta pickle today hey hey...
    The sun will come out tomorrow... All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dream Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Just like little girls and boys Playing with their little toys Seems like all they really were doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love Don't need to be afraid No need to be afraid It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real Thought I'd been in love before, But in my heart I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love Yes it's real, yes it's real love It's real, yes it's real love...

    @As Buhwheat used to say......
    .....HERE I IS,,,,,,,!!!! Tomorrow.....God willin and the creek don't rise...... When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed I went insane, Like a smoke ring day When the wind blows Now I won't be back till later on If I do come back at all But you know me, and I miss you now. In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me When the change came, And you had a Chance to see through me Though the other side is just the same You can tell my dream is real Because I love you, can you see me now. Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel And I love you, can you feel it now.

    @ Wish You Were Here
    Remember the old days when I met you. I never thought I would get you. Remember the good times we shared together, and now they're just a song. Remember the first time that I saw you. Remember the first time that I taught you. Remember the old friends we knew together, and how they've all gone on. Well we danced by the light of the moon. The band kept on playing that tune. You asked me to carry you home, we were alone. And then I saw moonlight dance in your hair. Now I'll never, never, never see it again. No I'll never, ever, ever have it again. It's gone, just like the song that lives on. Doesn't it seem like the right time. I wanna go way back through my lifetime. Gotta go way back and re-live those days, when everything was mine. Doesn't it seem like a long ways. Back through the fog and the byways. Doesn't it seem strange it took so long, but I saw it all today. The moon through the trees did go down. The snowflakes had covered the ground. Morning left moonlight behind; day was unkind. But then I saw lovelight dance in your hair. Ah I'll never, never, never see it again. I'll never, ever, ever have it again. Oh no, just the snow and I know.

    @Dark Side of the Moon.....
    Come a little bit closerHear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away. But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon. When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart. But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon.

    @ Moons over My Hammy
    hehehe One two three four Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu Livin' is fantasy, travelin' mentally Makin' up tunes in hotel rooms 'Bout places I've never been to Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon I had my dream, Kentucky moon But it's all imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? But I had my dream, Kentucky moon Route sixty six to me is still a mystery And Ohio, too Went Chicago blue down to St. Louis blues Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon As I sit by a stream in the moon But it's just imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon

    @How 'bout this.....Miami?
    Moon over miami,Shine on my love and me, So we can stroll beside the roll, Of the rolling sea. Moon over miami, Shine on as we begin, A dream or two that may come true, When the tide comes in. Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours, Hark to the throbbing guitars, Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause, After each song to the stars. Moon over miami, You know we're waiting for, A little love, A little kiss On miami shore.

    @ Well, you are a lot of things but....you're not a walrus
    In this life I've seen everything I can see womanI've seen lovers flying through the air Hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen kings and queens from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sitting watching Picture slides But I never seen nothin' like you. [Chorus] Do ya want my love Do ya want my face Do ya want my mind Do ya want my love Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang auld lang syne by the light Of the moon I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums And I heard the police playin' with their guns But I never heard nothing like you In the country where the sky touches down On the field she lay her down to rest In the morning sun They come a runnin' just to get a look just to Feel to touch her long black hair they don't Give a damn [Chorus] Well I think you know what I'm trying to say Woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know That i've got to get it all to get it all to grow

    @ I am the Walrus
    Well, while were at it...I'm crying Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Picture yourself on a train in a station With Plasticine porters with looking-glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds [fade out]

I am convinced 1/2 the staff are former, current, and/or closet deadheads or at least have affinity for the thoughts and feelings. WSJ weekend edition has probably had more articles on the d e ad in the last 20 yrs than rolling stone. although I stopped reading RS long ago. I discovered WSP many years ago via an article on their marketing practices being so close to the Dead's...incessant touring, free taping, loose controls on copyrighted images, etc. Etc. Or that may be anti marketing...anyway I have found WSJ to be sympatico. Ahhh the weekend. ... Golf, craft beer fest in Ft Worth On Saturday. Then on Sunday celebrate the wonderul mom of my 2 great kids.don't forget mothers day because Momma tried!

I think mostly Texas beers and aleS. North Texas has had quite a renaissance in craft brewing in the last 5 years as laws have caught up with rest of US. Deep Elum, Peticolas,community, Martin house....just a few of really good community of local brewers. Can't wait.

Yup....that and a Reeses Oreo gets the day off on the right foot.... Glad you liked it my friend... In my old age I've become both a music and beer snob....

I am old!!!Yet agaiin it is a weekend night, and I am the only here!!!! Dark Star is playing 45 minutes away,.. right now,...and I am not there, because I am OLD!!!! I have to work tomorrow again,.....Responsibility is a Heeaavy Responsibility!!!!,....I Guess! Worse of all is the thought that "The Boys"are probably over here on the East Coast, or some of them might be,... anyway the possibilites of a "guest Appoearance" at Penn's Peak tonight, make me wish I had gone! I think I will definitely make an effort to get there tomorrow, fortunately it's their first two night run at the venue.

I've seen them dozens of times. But I'm going 7/2 in part for that reason - high probability of special guest appearances. Most of them (Donna included) have previously shown up as unannounced guests at one time or another.

I have seen them many times, which is in part, why I chose to work tomorrow, (It seems likely to happen again), but, I am regretting it fiercely!!! On Tthe other hand, think I may soon refrain from listening to Grateful Dead music all together until 6/27 so it will be that much bettter to hear it in a stadium!!! I know!!!! who am I kidding??? never gonna happen,..but I have contemplated.

84 brews. several bands. food trucks. plenty of rain forecast. lots of Texas brews but also some European and other American breweries.Got 18 holes of golf in this a.m. between the raindrops. All in all shaping up to be a pretty, pretty good day. My son surprised me with 3-29-90 release. Branford Marsallis (sp?) guest on many songs. Really good...I actually had not heard so many with Marsallis before. I like it.

Don't make mine FARE thee WELL DONE.Had a little mother and son time today, he let me show him some grateful dead which is what I said I wanted to do With him "For mothers day" Showed him 20 minutes of the tie dyed documemtary and the opening animation of the grateful dead movie. my jaw dropped when he called it trippy (he's 12)! He asked lots of good questions like what was the wall of sound, where did the band get its name, and what were the acid Tests. Best Mother's Day- ever.

Stranger stopping strangers. Just to shake their hand. It will happen, during the coruse of our time in Chicago, that Daydreamers will run into each other (even if it is not on a spreadsheet). They will greet each other, but not know the other’s name. After declaring “I am [SD name here], and I miss Jerry”, there will be a warm embrace. Ah, such a touching, timeless scene. Passersby will take note and will remember seeing that embrace by strangers, who yet seemed to know each other somehow. Timeless.
