Just musing about how long after official release this big Debel Box sells out? It contains the last big chunk of what was the 'missing Betty Reels' aside from a bunch of random shows from various years and of course what's left of the Port Chester run. 5 of the 8 shows are from that haul, as was Davez#37. Last years Sunshine Box was gone in like a few hours at best! Lucky for me about a week prior I decided to pre~order figuring 'what the hell' money ain't no issue now. Although originally after first announcements I had only pre~ordered the single 6/10/73 show for various reasons. Sure glad I came to my senses & acted fast because it was quickly gone. I didn't realize the magnitude of the May`73 run and the RFK shows. That Sunshine Box fit in perfectly with my PNwBox, to which I was lucky enough to pick up that Box of Boxes 2 & 1/2 years after initial release!

Big Bob for the score. Got to eat there before he died. Been too many times to count. He and family also have and had multiple locations. One closest to me burned down maybe 18 months ago. Still waiting and wondering what will become of that part of family.

Didn't realize you were that big of an aficionado.

Blows my mind thinking about seeing Scully getting Q for Jer. Makes me grin big. Another story there also.

When you get into southern Tennessee there are joints all over the place in small barely known about places that only locals know. My brother lives on a farm in Tennessee and our family has a partnership with a family that owns a spot. They also raise cattle. They use brother's farm to rotate cattle. Every so often we buy a full cow wholesale. Great food, I only eat beef and chicken now due to health.

Just blows my mind a west coaster is so inamorate with Q. Although all great food through out this country spread around. One of first lessons to small business/entrepreneurship is to find something and take it elsewhere. I was in tokyo 28 years ago, wish I was the first to bring yakitori chicken to the states. Small but growing, will spread. I admit yakitori chicken hearts weren't my fav at all; too chewy. Another restaurant had these big rooms where 30 or so gentleman would meet to eat, fellowship, talk business. There was a grill in the table between every 2 people. That is popular and growing also. Thing is, between every 2 people behind you on the wall, there was a beer tap. Just reach around for enjoyment. First night in this tiny county in southern Japan, I had to learn a valuable lesson about drinking too much again.

May explain more later, gotta jump.

Gary, Big Bob Gibson's Bbq in Alabama developed the White sauce. I've bought some from them before, also some bbq dvds. They win lots of awards at the bbq competitions. Ive bought bbq pits from both Texas and North Carolina and had them shipped to me.

Received the Dylan 74 box today. I'm 2 discs in and thoroughly enjoying it. Impressive performance and for £3 a disc the recordings are excellent. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the BBQ update. Got me pokin around. Looks like that location was less than 5 miles to the Greek. Looks like it is closed now. I love bbq, grew up with it in my baby bottle. Saw their mention in the national magazine, and almost ordered a case of mild and hot, but their sauce has sweetness to it which I do not enjoy. May order a bottle of each. Looks like a happy family with a substantial Q presence. Turns out they were born less that 50 miles from where I am; you may remember that. Also only25 miles to the joint that developed Alabama White sauce. Fantastic on slow smoked chicken. Did an enormous Q tour when I lived in North Carolina for several years including the differences between East and West NC and then down into South Carolina. Great smokey mustard based sauce from that region. Unfortunately due to health, I have had to cut back on Q, and a lot of other things. Weird, I have beef short ribs roasting in the oven, been 5 hours so far. Bout to throw them on the smoker for about 45 min to an hour. Short ribs are tricky, still trying to mess with ways to cook.

Any way, thanks for the rabbit hole. This is a hole I thoroughly enjoyed. As A matter of fact I have thought about offering to help folks with a southern tour. Maybe hit Nashville (Ryman), Memphis, and Muscle Shoals. Possibly even New Orleans. As you can imagine tons of great entertainment and food. My health aint great but if there were enough people that wanted to I could help. Maybe even see if some European counter parts might want to joint in. Thing is I have 3 surgeries coming, 1 basic, 2 more tricky.

Guess I shouldnt be cooking short ribs. D'oh!

Another 130 Reelz is wowzer; forgot to comment on that.

Appears the Unlimited Road will go on beyond my lifetime for sure.

That is exciting news also.

got mine yesterday. UPS sez Friday delivery. YAY!

FedEx is saying I’ll have it Saturday.

My GD box is still in California so I doubt I’ll see it before next week. However, this might give me some time to play the new Dylan box which has dispatched in the UK so should be here in the next day or two. The Neil Young ‘deluxe’ box is sitting a few miles from me in Liverpool but won’t be delivered until I pay the taxes. I can’t do that until I get a letter (!) telling me the amount. Have they not heard of the internet? My weekend listening looks to be crowded.

Edit: RIP JD Souther.

Label created yesterday.
Surprised it was Fedex.
Must be box size.
Cheers
Thanks for the tip Obeah.
EDIT: Tracking now says Friday!
