    Our provider, Ron Marcus...
    Marye - do you know Ron? I think a lot of us do even if we are not aware of it! Ron is great. Will see him at a birthday party in 2 weeks in S.F. Before I left to come down here, he copied off everything he had from the boyz vault (which was opened and shared when rumors started to fly about someone selling the catalogue to Sony or some such entity - head 'em off at the pass - y'know?). He and Patti live in a great little house in the Oakland hills but he is still heavily into the dead and making his own CD's as well. Lots of spoken word and lots of help from his friends.. on guitar, piano etc. He has made over 100 CD's of his own stuff.I am in Mel - Elwood (Blues Brother # 1) actually - and would love to come to a meet here with you guys. Dying to know some of my fellow travelers down here. I'm off to the US June 3rd for 3 weeks.. but maybe when I get back there will be a meet?? Cheers to us all.... My personal email is carol@siriusb.net. Do you know that Sirius B is the Dark Star??? Carol

    just climbing on *this* bus...
    I just got turned on to this site... don't know why it took me so long to figure it out.. but then, I didn't find the dead until 1978... I managed to see over 300 shows in the time remaining! A transplanted head from San Fran and missing it a lot... happy to know there are some of us down here too. hope I can make the next meet-up! will be going to the US and to SF at beginning of June for a wedding (yea!!) but if anyone wants to meet before June 2nd, please post. I have a huge collection from the vault - like 2500 CD's and would like to share - God bless Ron Marcus for that. Missing the boyz and the SF music scene.. anyone here know Nick Gravenitis?? Cheers, Carol

I hit 99.9 bay fm and the end of Lovelight 8/4/71 comes on. My mind is blown. I love simpleradio. Wow, the ice creme kid. Kick ass!!
10pm - Midnight there in Australia; 0600 - 0800 Mountain Standard Time here. As an early Byrd I can handle it.

99.9 The Bay fm in Australia rocks out! Contemporary and Aboriginal music, plus a kick ass Grateful Dead show. What’s not to love.
“Listen to the River” looks great. 1971 is possibly my favorite year . Will have to wait for my old fart social security check in a couple weeks to order. Beans & rice , rice & beans, and a victory garden. Apricot trees (in town) , pick, dry and store.
Several weeks w/o ganga. I think the THC is still kicking in from what little fatty tissue i have on me and from all the smoked phatties from all the years combined.
Phatty Patrol wasn’t just the destination, it was the journey & adventure.

Champagne lifestyle on a near beer budget. Mesquite beans are almost ready also. Wild fruit trees. Bulk food order. Walk as much as I can. Keep from driving as many days in a row as possible.
Baby boomer retirement.
Enjoying the Australian based Grateful Dead radio show, Long Strange Trip. (Bay FM 99.9 Byron Bay) Contrary to some folks notions, radio is not dead. Streaming stations from around the world is an amazing way to get a glimpse, feeling, idea of what’s goin’ on. I really dig stations from Peru,Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Jamaica, Canada (Nunavut) and down under. Add in Tribal radio stations from around the U.S. As i live off the grid in the “outback” of the great Southwest this keeps me tuned in.
