    @ Yeah, the worst is over now
    Blue Skies, sunshine, birds are singing... Marvelous, simply marvelous darling! doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination Everything looks worse in black and white

    Good Morning Miami....
    And a glorious Friday it is indeed....More coffee.... Let's let the Cyrkle have the floor.... I should have known you'd bid me farewell There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball You never care for secrets I confide For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball The story's in the past with nothin' to recall I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball Oh, oh, oh I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

    Play a song for me
    Coffee's on...Friday morning sun coming up...Just me and the pups rocking this morning... Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it.

    Geeky you are indeed correct, once you are part of it you can't go back. We are a unique breed. Kind, tolerant, accepting. The spirit of Jerry is still alive and well.... As long as we allow it to be so..... As Neil said.... First time I heard "Lie A Rolling Stone" I felt that magic and took it home Gave it a twist and made it mine But nothing was as good as the very first time Poetry rollin' off his tongue Like Hank Williams chewin' bubble gum Askin me "how does it feel?" Rollin down the road in a dream of mine Two lane tour through a state of mind. Singin in the place where I first saw Roy Playin that place gave me so much joy Flash bulbs poppin' at the stage door Brand new song with familiar chords All the time lookin for somethin' new Walkin with the devil on a twisted road Listenin to the Dead on the radio That old time music esed to soothe my soul If I ever get home I'm gonna let the good times roll Coffee is on.....

    For me there will never be anything like FTW. The music was amazing! The stadium was lit as if from an eternal flame. But as I ponder my experience I only remember the music as it relates to the people. Thousands swaying to Ripple in perfect time. SDD family all around me. Teaching me about the music. Sharing the vibe. Becoming family... Althea hugs and high fives! Locking eyes with Chuck walking up the stairs then they start playing Built to Last... Listening to the music. Sharing the vibe. Family all around me. I want to thank each and every one of you.. For sharing the music For sharing your time For catching my tears For sharing my joys I think I'm a Dead Head I know I miss Jerry I love you all!

    CRACK THE SKY????? holy cow
    I thought I was the only one in the world anymore who had even HEARD of them. I can remember their being at a campus event in a venue that generally had bad cover bands who butchered the stones and other popular rock acts of the time. We did not know what to make of these guys, except they were different, and good! I don't recall specifics, as that was long ago...

He'll take my arm When we're walkin', rolling and rocking. It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man. Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping. I'm in heaven With the maven of funk mutation Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins Raise expectations to a new intention No one can sing Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson Wailin' and skankin' to Bob Marley Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie Ipsimama...

Back in the 80's, my dad took the entire video of my brother's wedding with the camera upside down. The last thing on the recording is his grumbly baritone growling ... "godammit, you mean I've had this fucking thing..." One of my life's true precious memories. Man oh man, I miss that man.

Youngster! I think my first LP was Out of the Blue by ELO, or was it Capt Fantastic by Elton? Probably Elton John, I think it came out in '73-74 (I was 9-10 yrs old).

R.I.P. B.B. King! I was lucky to get to see him about 10 years ago with Buddy Guy warming up. BB sat the whole time while he played but put on a great show. A true blues legend...

And goodnight, dear B.B. Thank you for the music. It's nice to think of everyone communing together in person and remotely over the Dear Jerry fest while I was at work doing the deal. Sorry for the loss of the Blues great. It's just that Wheel. So. Here's to all our safe passage to Chicago and beyond. It will be great while it lasts <3 Boo I hope to see some of those monkeys in June. Hope they have a place to play! Sounds like there's nothing but nothing near SC. Big sigh. :) I have a gray-eyed cat snuggled up to me as I say goodnight with my brown eyes. Another two hours before rrgrr and Tonytone are up but... I think we've had enough of a day, que no? It's been a big full day. Night dreamerz... Sweetest of dreamzzz.
