    Ok Miami good afternoon here in da Buff... Greg....Rumor has it opener on 7/3 is gonna be Beiber and da boys covering Rock You Like A Hurricaine.... Phil on lead vocals.... Going out to the Sunshine Daydreamers as we slowly approach the horizon, a beautiful sunset and a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.... Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true ooh oh Someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly And the dream that you dare to, Oh why, oh why can't I? Well I see trees of green and red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well I see skies of blue And I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands Singing, "How do you do?" They're really singing, "I...I love you." I hear babies cry and I watch them grow, They'll learn much more than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world world Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I? Sarge pass me the Kleenex....

    Where do I Post?
    Good morning, I'm looking for information on where to post an invitation. There are probably more than a few people rolling down the road right now looking for a place to pitch a tent, park a bus, an RV or a car while en route to Chicago. We are on a patch of ground in Nor'western Illinois and have some room if folks need a place to stop for a few or overnight. The gate is open; we don't want anything in return (AKA - free). If there are any takers, we will rent a porta-pot. All we ask is that anyone stopping/staying treat the place with respect. Please let me know when you have a chance, Thanks, J and T

    @The evening shift, and all that Jazz
    So there we was, minding our own respective businesses, when something special happened. Maybe it was a song, perhaps a smile, perchance a dream; something to stir the soul. Looking up at the crisp clear night sky, with all the stars a twinkling, we know all is well. For beneath us ba dus rumbles its rhythmic beat, and the tires hum that familiar tune as we roll down that ribbon so nicely lit up in the moonlight. We know we are in good hands, resting and relaxing while we review the past 48 hours. A grateful dus briver personally takes our evening requests, and KDED seems spot on. Even Puppers is sprawled out without a care in the world. You see, that first special song, smile or dream has been nurtured, watered and well tended. New life has sprung from historic moments relived and retold as we join together in excited whisper, bursts of laughter, transitioning into robust song. A magical mystery tour is not a mystery any longer, but indeed it stays magical. Smiles abound. Tis Ladies night at the moonlight lounge. In honor of your joy, love, excitement and purpose; to acknowledge the past days, weeks and months sharing in that zest for making this corner of the world more like home, we lift our glasses and salute you! Sometimes the lights all shining on you, and ladies, it is our pleasure to let it shine on you during this whee part of our journey. As we rumble along, singing our songs, let's support each other and give thanks for friends and family. For those who joined us for a time but left too early, we honor you. For those who are just hopping on, we extend a hand. For the vet who has joined us, we share a seat. For the sick or those called away for other pressing matters, we'll lend an ear and listen for you. What awaits us at dawn, when the night sky softens and the day begins to break...what wonders are before us. Wait...shhhhh....do you hear it..do you feel it...do you see it...please do share it...and thankee kindly, one and all. geoperchancetodreammeister

I tucked the kids in bed, heh!, at eight o'clock and then... I'm gonna head for the ozone again. Just watch me... I'm lost in the ozone again. I'm lost in the ozone again. One drink of wine, two drinks of gin... and I'm lost in the ozone again. I'm lost in the ozone again. I'm lost in the ozone again. Tell me about it now... One drink of wine, two drinks of gin... and I'm lost in the ozone again. One More time now... I'm lost in the ozone again. I'm lost in the ozone again. Now whatcha drinkin'? Well, I'm drinkin' wine, I'm drinkin' gin... and I'm lost in the ozone again..... rrrrrgrrrrr has left the building

Hey all, I hope you guys are all good and enjoying these first few days of Fall. For what it's worth - I have 2 tickets to Verizon Center in DC for November 6th (Sec 404 Row B) if anyone is interested. I think of all of you often - hope you are well and happy! Peace, Anita

Greetings to all this first weekend of fall; Do a merry dance: a waltz or a jig, join in, make it up, think big; Sing loud, be happy and free, for you'll see that is the key; Doesn't matter about the song, or whether it's short, medium or long; That which is in our spirit and heart, is what sets all of us apart; The dance, the song, the giving, is what keeps us all a living; It's Fall, and the Summer ends, crisp weather is around the bend; Love long, hug strong, be glad, that the Sunshine Daydreamers are rad; So look to the future with glee, share with your friends and see; That in the end we'll find, that Mickey is right, Be Kind; Love to you and you and you, don't worry, be sad or blue; That's the message, meaning and call, in geomeister's poem to ya'll. Blessings and peace... g

Quite the wordsmith.... A crisp clear day....gotta love fall and the changes the season brings..... After seeing the Aspens lend a golden blanket to the Rockies, returning home, we marveled in the beginning of the same transformation in the Northeast. Looking forward to warm cider with cinnamon sticks, Apple crisp and the kids dressed up for Halloween.... Watching the sun rise as I drive to work each day.... Sitting by the fire in the evenings.... Being thankful for each and every day, no matter what they bring.... Coffee is on.... ba dus is idling....

Hey now, thanks Geo for your poetic stylings. I love the changing of the seasons and the crisp fall air. Autumn equinox and Blood moon eclipse last week...brining celestial influences to the mix. And I love the Daydreamers!

They go 'round and round, and it was not twenty years ago today, but a mere 90 days ago when we parked the bus right over there in the shadow of Soldier Field and let it tick off the heat from its well worn engine... ...as we exited ba dus and merrily gathered from hither and yon to shake hands and hug family, all seemed perfect in the world....at least in our little corner of it. Daydreamers everywhere were meeting perhaps for the first time sharing smiles and miles traveled, lifting a cold one, singing a song and dancing a jig. Color us all Happy Happy Happy. That was and is the stuff folklore is made of, our special weekend just ninety days ago. Then the music! My oh my, did you enjoy that? A fiftieth anniversary celebration and family reunion. Comes a time when you look back and just smile, smile smile. Yes, that weekend was just that good. So happy Fall, Daydreamers near and far, let that wheel take you on adventures greater than your imagination and dreams, and thank you for making our internet house a home. Bus is idling, ready for another trip...stop by, hop on, set a spell, share a song and tell a tale.

I have 2 Hard Tickets for Seats in the ADA section of the General admission area. This gives you full access to General Admission area with the benefit of a seat. I bought them for myself as I have a back Injury, but like to be close to the action and where the sound is better. Regrettably I can no longer attend the show and have to sell the tickets. Including Shipping ( which would be priority with insurance) The pair would be $345.00. I can show proof of purchase in my name,..Pictures of tickets or whatever else would be desired. Preferred method of payment would be Paypal, I guess.I hope someone can use these. you can text me at (570)335-0626. Thanks for any and all consideration,...Bob

So much grate music this weekend! And 30 Trips! I'm still streaming 30 trips...stuck on 1981 this week. I did talk to Bertha's grandma at dead.net and she said the 30 Trips USB drives are supposed to ship in a week or two. But mysteriously they removed the estimated ship date from my order?? Upside out or inside down False alarm, the only game in town

Morning all. The wheels on the bus, well you know how the song goes..... After immersing myself in Mayer and Company for the past 10 days, I must say I am pleasantly surprised. There is a new energy in old Bobby. Chimenti shines as always and Otiel brings a non Phil bottom end to the mix. Drumming is spot on. Plenty of room to shake our bones, as the sardine box of Soldier Field is replaced by smaller crowds in manageable arenas..... Couple of updates, Stella Moon and Cain74 send their regards but seem to be off the bus for now.....for those of us with shows in our future, may they be joyous ones, next stop home in da Buff on 11/11..... May the spirit of Jerry be with us all.... Remember kids.....you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.... Oh yeah....coffee is on.....Philz of course....

After my weekly call to dead.net they told me a week or two. They've been saying a week or two for the past month so I'm pretty sure they have no idea. Hoping some of them have shipped somewhere... Did anyone get a shipping notice?

Hey now Daydreamers, and good morning to all those still on Ba Dus! I must say, in the words of David Ganz, "That boy can really play guitar!" Was fortunate to listen to the show on Saturday broadcast live on Sirius and it was smokin'. The crew had interviewed the whole band earlier in the day and Mr. Mayer was very articulate and humble about playin in the band... The music NEVER stopped! Had the tunes crankin, dancin' in the livingroom! Let's keep this bus a rockin' and a rollin' down the road

I was really looking forward to Verizon Center, but also had just a little splather of skepticism going on... NOT ANYMORE. It was really incredible you guys! SOOOOO GOOD! If you're still on the fence - jump off and shake your bones at one of these shows. So bummed I can't make it to more - hoping there will be 2016 dates announced and that they'll come to Florida!! Happy Trails to all traveling! You won't be disappointed! - Anita

Another season of touring came to a close for me last night as the boys rocked da buff. Solid first set with an Althea just for Geeky, US Blues for the Veterans and an El Paso, just so Bobby could screw up the words, just exactly perfect. What a mess he made of that....in a good way.... The second set took off with a scorching viola Lee blues, courtesy of Mr. Mayer....btw...up close he looks nothing like Klangstone. Lainie Bear got her elusive wang dang doodle then a new speedway into dark star to truckin to dark star.....drums back to dark star a china doll, then our national anthem, sugar mags... Casey jones took us home safely..... One observed OD with paramedic assistance, some lightweight went to ground on the first verse of promised land...waste of a good pit ticket... This Dead and Company tour exceeded all my expectations and the vibe was more early 80s in the arenas than the FTW spectacle....that's a good thing....if you go be ready to have your face melted....
