    Sun's up, looks ok
    Sun's up, uh huh, looks okayThe world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...

    coffee is on.... Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

    We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station. While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather, The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record. Beyond the suns that guard this roof, Beyond your flowers of flaming truths, Beyond your latest ad campaigns, An old man sits collecting stamps In a room all filled with Chinese lamps. He saves what others throw away. He says that he'll be rich some day. We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station.

Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip? If you was really hip The passing years would show You into a hip trip Maybe hipper than hip But what is hip? So you became part of the new breed Been smokin' only the best weed Been hangin' out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain't quite right [Chorus] Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! And sometimes hipness is What it ain't! You done even went and found you a guru In your effort to find you a new you And maybe even managed To raise your conscious level As you striving to find the right road There's one thing you should know What's hip today Might become passe

It may come to pass that things get a bit clunky with this many posts in a thread, and at some point we might want to launch SSDD 2.0. Or 1.1. Or whatever release number seems appropriate. Lemme know.

You gotta jiggle it a little....that's what Jack Klompus would say.... Search the net for animated avatars....save one and text it to yourself...if it animates, it can be uploaded here and it will animate...or as marye said far in the future, see next post...you can create one, unfortunately I am not that gifted....hence my 2D Grateful bear....

I've taken a hard cold look at the factsLooked at the numbers Seriously weighed the time I would need to commit And I just can't make it work. There's just no way to listen to 80+ shows in that amount of time. I'm gonna have to drive from Maryland. Slowly. Thank you gracious donars.

Perhaps you can hoof it ala Forrest Gump...wear your Walkman If you leave this weekend you'll make it in time....it will also afford you the ability to listen to each show chronologically from 5/5/65 through 7/9/95....

means 2 more days closer to the shows! 5 weeks, 4 days, and 14 hours until Santa Clara! 6 weeks, 3 days, 12 hours until showtime in Chicago! If MadSwan starts humping to the shows a day early (meaning he needs to wear his humping pants today), can he listen to all those shows? Some would say, "Yes, but only if we convert all them there flacs to mp3 so they fit on an iphone." LOL, and they're probably right! This is like one of those math problems I always got wrong in school. If MadSwan has 80 shows and needs to walk from Timbuktu to Santa Clara, how many days until he runs out of Jerry if he walks at 5 mph? Four questions: 1) who is doing the math to see how many days of music that is, 2) how much 'space' is needed to fit all the shows on one portable listening apparatus?, 3) If the bus comes by, will you get on?, and 4) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Yous y'all had better start Patchin' those sails and Shinin' those rails!

Okay, he might need to take a hot air balloon part of the way from Timbuktu.......That makes things a bit more complicated. I hope he has a good tail wind.

The Grateful Dead performed 2314 shows from 5/5/65 til 7/9/15 with an average duration of 2 hours and 51 minutes excluding noodling tuning set breaks take a step backs and getting everything just exactly perfect.... That figures out to 395,694 minutes or 6594.9 hours of continuous music... Get a humping Swannie! Morning Totes

So 80 shows are only 3.46% of the total number of shows. So 3.46% of 6,594.9 hours of music comes out to 228.2 hours of music or 9 1/2 days of goin down the road feeling bad. Considering Swannie needs to sleep 8 hours a day and lay in a field staring at the sky Sunshine Daydreaming 4 hours a day, the music will never stop for 19 days! Okay, it's gonna take longer the that to travel from Timbuktu by hot air balloon. WE NEED MORE SHOWS!

Hey. I've been intermittently MIA on here and the email threads. I am endeavoring to get all caught up, and update our intrepid leader on all things SD: tickets, itinerary, and all of the things. And respond where requested and where there is otherwise light or dark that I can contribute to or help with... I am also getting more serious about shining rails and patching sails, so sometimes it takes me a minute!! Love to all.
