    Trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and see what I get?....bupkis.... If all else fails.... Play Dead.....Sarge...hit it..... Gazing at the fire, burning by the water Before he speaks the world around us quiets. With eyes as sharp as arrows and turning to the fire He clears the air and cuts it with a feather. Many in a circle slowly 'round the fire When he is gone I want to know him better. No one is forsaken, no one is a liar, He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water. He hums, there are drums, four winds, rising suns, We are singing and playing, I hear him saying. I remember breezes from winds inside your body keep me high, like I told you, I'll sing to them this story and know why. See ya gotta think outside the box.....

    I was done crying for now... or so I thought. So much for distraction. I can stay melancholy longer than your average person... Picked my clothes up, grabbed my suitcase Never looked back at the look on your face I just took off drivin' There's gotta be someplace I could go to Help me forget about how much I love you Maybe Dallas, San Antone, a two lane highway all alone Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Got the radio up the petal pushed down The night wind blowin' my tears around Gotta get back where I used to be But I'm racin' with your memory Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Sometimes in Texas ain't nothing out there A man could get lost headed for nowhere That's where I'm goin' without you At least the long nights won't desert me If I got nobody ain't nobody gonna hurt me Hello honey, it's been a long time I'm out of her life and out of my mind Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Got the radio up the petal pushed down The night winds a-blowin' my tears around Gotta get back where I used to be But I'm racin' with your memory Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Drivin' and a-cryin' Oh Cryin', Cryin', Cryin', Cryin'...

    ....just making sure the adrenaline is still flowin'..... Take time to grieve, but don't let life pass you by while you do..... You will never get it back..... Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone. Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you. I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song, I just can't remember who to send it to. I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun. Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around. Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come. Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now. Thought I'd see you one more time again. There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now. Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now. Let your tears water the gardens of your soul..... Reduce, reuse, recycle .....

    The show must go on as well. I'm OK just swimming in melancholy. I need some more loving deadhead vibes to see me through. Can we go back to the circus? It began when they come took me from my home And put me in Dead Row, Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. And I'll say it again I.. am.. not.. afraid.. to.. die. I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields, A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. Interpret signs and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog. The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind. They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath gathering at my hind I hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger Died upon the cross And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told Like my good hand tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold. Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away. Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye So I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied. My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D. 'Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that devil blood. And the mercy seat is a-burning And I think my head is flowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this weighing up of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway, there was no proof And nor a motive why. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A life for a life And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof And I'm not afraid to die. Now the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all these looks of disbelief. A eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A eye for a eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth But I'm not afraid to lie. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth But I'm afraid I told a lie.

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....

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

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....

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....
