    @ Trivia
    I dont really know but I would venture to guess it has to do with syringes? Or small scooters? I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out. I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

    Marley has always been sublime....not a bad song in the catalog.... Mr Peter MacIntosh is no slouch either as you pointed out earlier in this journey.....why do they have to die too soon? If it's love that you're running from There is no hiding place Just your problems, no one else's problems Could just have to face If you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind We're gonna walk and don't look back Gonna walk and don't look back Now if your first love has let you down There's something can be done Don't you have your faith in love Remembering what been gone So if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind Gonna walk and don't look back We're gonna walk and don't look back If you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind We're gonna walk and don't look back Gonna walk and don't look back Places behind you There to remind you If your first love have broke your heart There's something can be done Don't have your faith in love Remembering what's been gone But if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind Gonna walk and don't look back We're gonna walk and don't look back

    it's a measure, but I ain't gonna say of what. Stir it up is one of my all-time favorites. Ranks in one of my top-10 sexy songs (as long as we're on topic.) Your recipe, darlin', is so tasty! food references in music are sexy, 99.99% of the time. The other .01% is reserved for Weird Al.

    @stirring it up?????
    An obscure little ditty....and yes the women are smarter...smarter than the man in every way..... I treat you like a woman So treat me like a man I took you to a better place And helped you understand So don't squeeze me like toothpaste Like putty in your hands I'm gonna go away, I'm gonna blow away A woman is a woman And a man is just a fool It takes all of the heartaches And life can be so cruel Who's gonna be there when the morning comes? Head on the pillow, smiling at me I get up and make the coffee It must be love, it must be love Who's gonna be there when the morning comes? Head on the pillow, smiling at me I get up and make the coffee It must be love, it must be love I treat you like a woman So treat me like a man I took you to a better place And helped you understand Trivia question: What is the significance (referential meaning) of the band name 10cc????

    goodbye, stranger
    I was walkin' down the streetConcentratin' on truckin' right I heard a dark voice beside of me And I looked round in a state of fright I saw four faces one mad A brother from the gutter They looked me up and down a bit And turned to each other I say I don't like cricket oh no I love it I don't like cricket no no I love it Don't you walk thru' my words You got to show some respect Don't you walk thru' my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet. Well he looked down at my silver chain He said I'll give you one dollar I said you've got to be jokin' man It was a present from me mother He said I like it I want it I'll take it off your hands And you'll be sorry you crossed me You'd better understand that you're alone A long way from home. And I say I don't like reggae no no I love it I don't like regaae I love it Don't you cramp me style Don't you queer me pitch Don't you walk thru' my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet. I hurried back to the swimming pool Sinkin' Pena Calarda I heard a dark voice beside me say Would you like something harder She said I've got it you want it My harvest is the best And it you try it you'll like it And whollow in a Dreadlock Holyday. And I say Don't like Jamaica oh no I love her Don't like Jamaica oh no I love her oh yea Don't you walk thru' her words You got to show some respect Don't you walk thru' her words 'Cause you ain't heard her out yet. I don't like cricket I love it Dreadlock Holiday I don't like reggae I love it Dreadlock Holiday Don't like Jamaica I love her Dreadlock Holiday.

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

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....

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....
