    @ the more things change
    the more they stay the same! Now here you go again You say you want your freedom Well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost... And what you had... And what you lost [Chorus:] Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say... Women... they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean... you'll know, you'll know Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself It's only me Who wants to wrap around your dreams and... Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? Dreams of loneliness... Like a heartbeat... drives you mad... In the stillness of remembering what you had... And what you lost... And what you had... And what you lost [Chorus 2x]

    Or does it?.... Only love can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields Love, reign o'er me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spend apart alone I need to get back home to cool, cool rain I can't sleep, and I lay, and I think The night is hot and black as ink Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain Love, reign o'er me Reign o'er me, o'er me, o'er me Love, reign o'er me, o'er me Love Goodnight Miami, Goodnight Irene.....and all the ships at sea.....pun intended.....

    @Lets go get stoned.....
    Half a mile from the county fairAnd the rain keep pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day [Chorus:] And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me Then the rain let up and the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in and the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road We looked at the swim and we jumped right in Not to mention fishing poles Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Let it run all over me [Chorus] On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said Hey! There you are Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream

    All aboard...da raft? I've got extra paddles and some flippers too just in case. Grab your lifevest and pass me a pina colada! Puppers, where is the sunscreen? I burn red as a crab in the sun! On waves of love my heart is breaking And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore New tides surprise - my world it's changing Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown I built this ship - it is my making And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Who claims that no man is an island While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees I walk this shore in isolation And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

    Sorry......
    Sold ba dus, too many miles, brakes shot, no A/C and its friggin hot here.... Good news.....I got incense, coffee, dog n cat food and a weird ass raft from these guys named Huck n Jim...they were following Phish upstream and needed gas money..... Problem is I'm up the creek without a paddle....anyone have a spare paddle and we can go see Carlos n Phil at Lock'n and Warren and Bobby with Ratdog...... Sarge is wearing his lifeguard garb, with goggles.....so we are safe..... Get on your cabana wear......and have one more piña colada..... With a lotta love and Just a little luck we can carry on..... This one goes out to those who are in a lull after the Chicago party....... Gotta get better in a little while.....Eric and Duane told me so...it must be true! A friend of mine just had a real bad time. You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind. His girl ran off along with his best friend, And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end. It was such a tragedy, But that's the way it's got to be. Life goes on. Life goes on. It happens ev'ry day. So appreciate what you got Before it's taken away. Life will hit you When you're unprepared, So be grateful and take all That you can while you're there. Get that frown off your head, 'Cause you're a long time dead. Life goes on and on and on. Life goes on and on and on. No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared, Life could get you when you're unaware. One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it. Life will hit you when you least expect it. And one day when you are gone, You know that life will still go on. But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong. Life will still go on. My bank went broke and my well ran dry. It was almost enough to contemplate suicide. I turned on the gas, but I soon realized I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply. No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die. Life goes on and on and on. Life goes on and on and on. Tornado, cyclone and hurricane Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain. Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore, But the people recover and come back for more. Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black. Life goes on and on and on. Life goes on and on and on.

Now on K DED a dedication, our own Kristine has offered for Stanley to take the wheel whilst I kick back..... Ok Stanley, keep your emerald eyes on the road and paws upon the wheel.... Pupper...some driving music please..... Riding along in my automobile My baby beside me at the wheel I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile My curiosity running wild Crusin' and playin' the radio With no particular place to go Riding along in my automobile I's anxious to tell her the way I feel So I told her softly and sincere And she leaned and whispered in my ear Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow With no particular place to go No particular place to go So we parked way out on ko-ko-mo The night was young and the moon was gold So we both decided to take a stroll Can you image the way I felt I couldn't unfasten her safety belt Riding along in my calaboose Still trying to get her belt a-loose All the way home I held a grudge For the safety belt that wouldn't budge Crusin' and playing the radio With no mother f@cking place to go....... Night kids...... Sarge keep an eye on Stanley, he's new to this..... rrrrrrgrrrrrrr waaayyyyyy out!

Morning campers..... Happy hump day... to all coffee is on...we are all safe.... Stanley, glad we could count on you for a spell.... Sarge you can play the harmonica on this one.... It doesn't matter what I say So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel I'll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes And it don't matter who you are If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks Because the Hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The Hook brings you back On that you can rely There is something amiss I am being insincere In fact I don't mean any of this Still my confession draws you near To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow Was that the Hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The Hook brings you back On that you can rely Suck it in suck it in suck it in If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win And then begin To see What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me So desperately I sing to thee Of love Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried well no in fact I lied Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes Of hip three minute diddys I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around Unless I play then hey I will go on all day. Hear what I say I have a prayer to pray That's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because The Hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The Hook... On that you can rely And that's my home where dreams are born, And time is never planned. Just think of lovely things. And your heart will fly on wings, Forever in Never Never Land .....I hear they have tickets there..... ......Mr. Sulu, second star to the right, please....

Well, hold on this song has a little introduction to itIt ain't supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way It's a song about desperation Every now and then we do get desperate This is a song about L O V E and if you abuse it you're gonn' lose it And if you lose it you're gonn' 'buse and if you 'buse it You ain't gonn' be able to choose it 'Cuz you ain't gonn' have it further on down the line Things ain't gonn' be so fine, you're gonn' to be sitting there On your little machine tryin' to look and keep it clean And you're going to be playin' bingo all night all alone And that's why your sittin' there by the telephone And you know that she aint goin to call you So you put on the TV and you're watchin' Johnny Carson Segueing right into the 'Tomorrow Show' but that don't got the go So you turn it off and turn on the radio The radio don't' seem to get the click so you say "Hey man, I can't lickety split" You start to open up a little book And there's somethin' there you got to overlook And you say "Baby, you know there's somethin' on my mind" You say, "Baby there's somethin' on my mind I know that you're home and I know you ain't all alone" So you start walkin' over to her house You get over to her house, you walk over to her door You start poundin' on her door and you say "Open up the door bitch This is Wooba Gooba with the green teeth, let me in" Well, she opens up the door And then you just kinda walk up to her and say, "Baby" You look up way up at her green mascara And you say "Oh my darlin', you know her and me Was at the party as friends, do not believe what they say That's only gossip that they tellin' you down the wise crack of lies" You say darlin', "Take your big curls And just squeeze 'em down Ratumba What's the name of that chick with the long hair? Rapunzel Hey Rapunzel, hey Reputa, hey Reputa, Reputa the Buta Hey Reputa the Beautah flip me down your hair And let me climb up the ladder of your love Because this is the Wooba Gooba sayin' to ya "Love comes once and when it comes You better grab it fast 'cuz sometimes the love You grab ain't gonn' last and I believe I musta You know I think I musta, you know, baby, I think I musta You know I think I musta, I musta got lost lunch time....

SDrs: I saw the email storm about the email storm. I am not on FB, snapchat, instagram, twitter or any of the social media platforms. I just don't have the time nor inclination...and sort of worried if I got on board with all that stuff, I'd overdo it and spend time I don't have on it. My kids tell me I'm a dinosaur by the way. ANYWAY...I move we use this forum and/or the website for mass communication....although someone will have to remind me where our website is. I thought I saved it but did not. If others want to use FB, by all means, do so. Just be aware that many of us won't see some of the stuff you may want us to see. I don't usually hop in the conversations here, but at least glance at what's going on on regular basis, so I'll catch anything important.

...that FB would not be accepted by some. Anti-social media is almost as popular as social media. Hate to break to y'all, but you are on a form of social media right now. I get it, though, I was and sort of still am anti-social media. I only got on FB a while back because I was trying to find an old friend. And I did not put any real personal info on there and my username is an alias. I mostly only use it to keep myself informed of info that I cannot get anywhere else. I don't tweet either and plan to never get a twitter acct. But to each his own, can't force people to use what they are uncomfortable with. I totally understand people's feelings regarding FB.

Quit it 2 years ago. rejoined recently to find tickets and keep in touch with Chicago events. Oh that didn't work out well for Zane Kesey either. Point being, I have not accepted a single friend request and don't plan to. FB is not real interaction, although 3 times I actually did hook with old friends and meet up with them when in town. What happens after Chicago? I dunno, but I don't need FB to provide the answers. My nickel for what its worth. I must have deleted the email thread or not read it. If email went away, I'd be fine. Feel free to email me one on one though.

Everyone let's quiet down around the FB. Consider it off the table* Mostly what is being suggested is what we are already doing - but better. (And dare I say - what I suggested and tried to implement in March for foresight of this very day.) 1) An email group that won't clog and overwhelm your inbox, or 2) a private forum for the same exact purpose we use email for, but with better manifestation, organization, and interface. My email fears have come true. Alas... my cat herding days are over, so I'll just be here in the corner muttering to myself as I try to find the links from James and Totem and the picture from Tami. At least, I've got the pizzas straight. LOVEloveLOVEloveLOVElove StellaI'mNotAlwaysRightButSometimesIReallyAmMoon. *for those of us social-media types, by all means, we ought to have a little satellite spot on fb for laughs and giggles. You can also follow me on Instagram and Twitter if you're into all that. xoxo.

Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more'Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door Think this through with me, let me know your mind Wo-oh, what I want to know is, are you kind? It's a buck dancer's choice my friend, better take my advice You know all the rules by now, and the fire from the ice Will you come with me, won't you come with me? Wo-oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? God damn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannon balls Their motto is "don't" tread on me" Come hear Uncle John's Band, playing to the tide Come with me or go alone He's come to take his children home It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait Wo-oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice Wo-oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?

Both, I hear tell, are of the highest caliber....music, music, music and more music...let there be songs to fill the air indeed. And we also have a gathering of family and friends and friends we haven't met yet with either roses or begonias or bells or rings or you name it...and perhaps a smile or two too...bop bop be buzz bop. Hi my name is mine and yours is yours, and glad we meet finally. One of the nice parts of the ride is the evening, when rjjrrjjrr pulls over and sets those air-brakes with a wooshhh. The ritual rolling down of the windows and stretching and knee bends are just perfect after a long day's ride. There will be time ahead where we pull the all-nighter, but methinks they are still a bit off in the future. For now, as the dusk settles with the crisp air stand up and lean out and breath it all in. The sunset sure was magnificent huh. The way it painted the sky after dropping below those pines. Someone oughta write a song. Listen...shhhh...over in the distance hear that rumble? It's the bull frogs warming up. And out over the pond in that direction, the crickets are going at it by the rocks, and just in the fading light you can see the bats doing a number on the bugs. Yup, the night air smells mighty fine, the stars are starting to do there twinkling. And look at those fireflies darting everywhere. The pond is a beckoning...last one in does the dishes...

.....last night I had the strangest dream....I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie.........and I woke up next to Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and Snoopy.....it wasn't even cold out... Hit it Sarge.... Jeremiah was a bullfrog Was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said But I helped him a-drink his wine And he always had some mighty fine wine Singin'... Joy to the world All the boys and girls now Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me If I were the king of the world Tell you what I'd do I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war Make sweet love to you Sing it now... Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me You know I love the ladies Love to have my fun I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me ......coffee is on.... and yes indeed joy to you and me.... hey Mr. Mayor.... Night Stella! now who's got pie?

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks And no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.

Well, there's no bread let em eat cakeThere's no end to what they'll take Pluck the fruits of noble birth Wash the salt into the Earth
