Grateful Dead

Are you sure about that?

Sure. Maybe if anyone out there doesn't think Pigpen was sexist they should check it out with their "old lady". If she's not there its none of my fault. Unless I stole her. Ha!

I can see that you're just...thirteen years old I don't want your ID

Did the Dead cover Stray Cat Blues? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

did they cover Spinal Tap's Big Bottom? And what's wrong with being sexy anyway.

that the term "sexist" existed in Pigpen's time. However, I am sure that the term "troll" didn't exist back then, apart from in Norway.

Pig may have been sexist, I don't really know. I guess I am of the same viewpoint as Mr. DC in thinking it is just an exaggerated level of raunchy as part of a stage persona. Context is also important, what you say to your wife over the dining room table may call for a different level of decorum than comments made in the heat of passion in the bedroom. Some ladies may be happy you want to jump in the saddle and ride. There is nothing inherently sexist in wanting to get laid.

Now that was a sexist song.

From your loving cup!I'm sure Mick and Keith had nothing but the most wholesome intentions... What a beautiful buzz!

His 3 favorite things:Sex Drugs Rock n roll

I doubt if there's a person here who gives a damn what I find offensive in the arts. Nor should they.

....Chuck Berry's My Ding-A-Ling. I log out for six hours and you people start talking about this! Love it.... ...heh, heh....he said log. Sorry marye. We're a bunch of delinquents...

Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg.... -Robert Plant (and I believe Robert Johnson before him)

pigpen raps are not my favorite when it comes to the dead. I do like some of pigpens shorter tunes though. I was never been offended by his raps and I more so accept it as culture back then. In hindsight I suppose it could be offensive at times. Someone else noted that today's rap has some pretty offensive language. I don't listen to today's rap but I'm sure they are right. I do like daverocks post though in that he had an opinion and threw it out there. Good job. Started some good discussion.

Wow-he must be over 60. Mans a goer-I'll say that for him!

"Neighbor, neighbor don't you worry how I treat my wife" "You can leave your hat on, but take off your clothes" Old blues songs reflect the way life was at the time. Should you change the lyrics now? Hey, somebody hang a leaf on Michelangelo's David.

Van Halen can still rock. Saw them last September.DLR now talks to the girls in the front rows with lines like "hey cutie, how's your mom doing?" He accepts that he is older. But he still has a 6-pack stomach, so he probably doesn't have a problem picking up younger women.

Check out Lovelight from 5/24/72 (also found on Rockin'The Rhein). No controversial lyrics, and not overcooked. They jam like the Allmans on this one, and the doot-doot-doo arrangement that starts at about at about the 10 minute mark is just exactly perfect. It was also his last performance of it, and man - what a way to settle things...

Good stuff! I don't remember the source (maybe Ted Gioia's Delta Blues? A great book), but one that always cracked me up was a commentary of Robert Johnson's Phonograph Blues of 1936, where the author mentions RJ was using that device in 'ways that Mr. Edison never intended', haha: "Now we played it on the sofa, now we played it side the wall my needles have got rusty, baby and will not play at all" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogkw6GHDPE Maybe not as explicit, and a repeat here for sure so I apologize, but one of my favorite exposés on the blues, and specifically on *feeling the blues regardless of being brown, orange, yeller or blue. The whole Festival film is great, but this is where it's at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIrx3M5aLL0 And on that note, jump in your saddle and ride..

....Why Don't We Do It In The Road. When I was a kid, I thought they meant they were fixing a car that broke down on the highway.... ....I love me some Van Halen. When I was a kid (see above), my best friends sister played Van Halen II to death. Fair Warning got my attention. I had a serious crush on her, but time moves on....she also played the shit out of Blondie. Not a bad thing....

I missed the Van Halen days, other than Jump as a basketball warm-up.. (that was at some tournament, at home of course we ran out to Jesus Christ Superstar intro > Rock You Like A Hurricane orchestral version > Still Fly by the Big Tymers. Huh..no wonder I like the Dead's incongruent weirdness..) Anyways, don't know much Van Halen, but in on the Blondie! Only know the hits I suppose, but my favorite is Heart of Glass. But One Way or Another, Rapture, Call Me, Atomic...all great. Love that Rapture video. Sometimes I just go around downtown like that dude. Then I heard boom from the amplifiers.

Your VH introduction: https://youtu.be/frwlZswvS5I Watch the whole thing. It's a 3-day weekend, you've got the time.

....now THAT video brings me back. Halen put on a fantastic show....saw them once. Alas, not with Roth. 5150 Tour....that, alas again, was during my transition to the Dead. Metal/Hard Rock took a back seat for a decade or so.....

and all the raps he brings with him! maybe we could get a release of, i think it's 9/19/70, i could be wrong about that, but it's a particularly hot show where they storm through lovelight (as if they ever did a version that era where they didn't), and where the rap gets to the point where bobby steps up to the mic to inquire: "Pigpen, did you just say fuck?" if not that show, i hear the ones from the ARK in Boston in 4/21-23/69 are pretty good - ahem, uh dave, next box set, sure, why not? Thanks. I've also heard done tell from a few of the folks that the NYE show from '69, also in beantown, is quite bad-ass, with one hell of an Alligator jam to it's name. everyone, well except for that one guy (who is entitled to his opinion, and the right to express it freely), would be quite happy with many more pig heavy releases.

Go see VH if they tour again. Last September when I saw them they were great.For anyone who is a so-so fan or is not familiar, go if you get the chance. They are getting older, but toured last year. Eddie is an amazing guitarist, you need to witness it live. Dave is the ultimate show man. The whole band rocks. Also, look up on YouTube Van Halen "Live At Largo", another good show.

I agree, that Lovelight played on 5/24/72 is one of my favourite versions. At the 12 minute mark, it doesn't overstay its welcome, either. I think there was a tendency towards excess in rock music around that time. If anyone had any particular talent, they seemed to overdo do it. Pigpen was a great vocalist-he wasn't a poet. Ginger Baker was a great drummer with Cream...but his 16 minute+ solo on The Wheels of Fire version of Toad is very hard going. There was a great pop/rock band in England in the early 1970s called T.Rex-I don't know if they were well known in America. Anyway, they made great singles. But live they were a disaster. I saw them in 1972, and they played long versions of their songs, totally destroying the impact they could have had if they had been a bit more concise.Sometimes, of course, a bands strength lay in its ability to jam. On most of their songs, this applies to The Dead. A 15 minute version of Dark Star from 1971 always seems too short to me. They could be concise to good effect, too, though. I have just finished listening to the 7/5/78 show from the box set. The encore of Promised land is as good a version of a Chuck Berry song as I think I have ever heard. Its only 4 mins 13 secs long, but nothing more needs to be said.

9/19/70-I don't know about the Lovelight, but its got an incredible Dark Star on it. Horses for courses. Its music like that that has always made me ignore the advice of people like that angry jackstraw bloke, to stop listening to The Dead.

pig was a biker first, then a singer and then a harp player then an organist, oh wait, but foremost he was a man, who liked sex, good thing, without it, no human race. David lee was a promoter, a rocker, a singer and a front man, who liked sex, good thing.... Alvin lee was a rocker, a guitarist and a great guy, way underappreciated and his contributions to ten years after will never be equaled, no one was a fast as him except maybe darma buck who is the lead guitarist for blue oyster cult, now that is one fast fingering. Most girls I know like fast fingering. Shake your money maker.

3.28.69 - Student Center, Modesto Jr. College 7.7.69 - PIGPEN !!!!! I say please Mamma turn on your light.. "Some of your love some of your light... "That's All you folks need now, just a little light, thats all you folks need, a little more love, yes you do, I ask my baby let it shine on me...

How many children did "pig" have, then? Are you sure all these girls you know like "fast fingering"? Incidentally, Sam, I don't know if you play the guitar yourself, but its actually easier to sound impressive playing a fast solo than it is a slow one. Especially in blues. All you need to do is learn the basic blues scale, then practice like a maniac. After awhile-hey presto! You can play a lightning fast solo that will blow peoples socks off. Now try and play a slow blues...not so easy. It takes more than practice to do that. It takes years of experience, and a certain something that cant be taught from books. Sure, Alvin Lee was a blast. But Albert King, at a quarter the speed-he was an artist.

Ice cream cone kid, I have to disagree about David Lee Roth - the man can't sing anymore. He no longer seems to have the ability to carry a tune in concert. The last show I saw was embarrassing - they seem to know there is a problem. He gets up there, huffing and puffing, and blurts out the lyrics in this choppy, tiresome monotone with no rhythm or melody whatsoever. The rest of the band sounds great, and it's those backing vocals that keep the shows from being a complete train wreck. I was so disappointed, and I'm not alone. I gave him a few chances since they're reunion, but to no avail - he wasn't just having "off" nights. Here are the reviews from ticketmaster's site, in order, over the course of several shows. Everyone gave them a 1 out of 5, and everyone cited Deteriorated Dave as the weak link. Really, don't waste your money. It's a shame, these guys used to be great, but it really demonstrates what an anomaly Dave was. 1 / 5 van halen sucked Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood, CA - Fri, Oct 2, 2015 eddie superb everyone else was tired and uninspired i've seen van halen, yes, steely dan and toto in the last five months i'm a 58 year old gtr playing 40 year member of LA musicians union TOTO was far and away the best of the four oh well 1 / 5 HORRIBLE! Disappointed big time! Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood, CA - Fri, Oct 2, 2015Posted 10/05/2015by TagBert David Roth ruined the show. He sounded awful-talked through the lyrics instead of singing. He made up/replaced words in songs and his voice is gone! He made the concert all about him, and not the music. If it were not for the band, and back up singing, you would not have recognized any of the songs. Was soooo disappointed. Favorite moment: When it was over. 1 / 5 Van Halen Ak-Chin Pavilion - Phoenix, AZ - Mon, Sep 28, 2015Posted 10/01/2015by WLDHRTBKR Band sounded great, but Dave was pathetic!!! Would have been a much better show if Van Halen had opened up for Kenny Wayne Sheppard....now there's some talent!! 1 / 5 DLR was so far off, it made it unbearable. Gexa Energy Pavilion - Dallas, TX - Wed, Sep 23, 2015Posted 09/27/2015by HijoDelSol1 If you want to hear all your favorite Van Halen songs, I would suggest loading up your MP3 player and hitting play. David Lee Roth was so far off from the rest of the band that it painful. The rest of the band sounded great, would have rather had them run in a tribute band singer then to listen to that. Favorite moment: Guitar Solo 1 / 5 Diamond Dave is Done Oak Mountain Amphitheater - Pelham, AL - 09/17/2015Posted 09/23/2015by LeeTB I cringed the whole way through the Van Halen show. Seriously, if you know anything about vocals, music, singing in key, singing at all, you would have no other choice but to agree that David Lee Roth is done. Sure, he still can entertain the crowd with his antics, but when you don't sing 80% of the lyrics, and the lyrics you do sing are our of key, just hang it up. If they had just advertised it as an instrumental show, featuring the rest of the band, it would have been 100% better. Don't be fooled. Unless you're just going to see Eddie, or the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band is opening, you WILL be disappointed. Favorite moment: Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band set - great gig!!!! Saved the night - seeing Eddie for the 2nd time live. 1 / 5 Kenny Wayne OK but VH sucked. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - Bethel, NY - Sun, Sep 6, 2015Posted 09/22/2015by PMW1960 Kenny Wayne Shepard was sounding great but only played 35 minutes. WTF, he could have played an hour or so. VH was terrible. The band sounded OK but the vocals and backup singing was terrible. The volume on the vocals was turned down so it was hard to hear David but that was probably a good thing. Favorite moment: The end. Opening act(s): KWS band. Good but way to short. 1 / 5 DLR stole my money Oak Mountain Amphitheatre - Birmingham, AL - Thu, Sep 17, 2015 Posted 09/21/2015by jbix613 David lee Roth needs to quit today! He talked thru most lyrics. When he did try he couldn't hit the high notes at all. He even tried to do 15 minutes of terrible stand up.This is the first concert I ever left early and I wasn't alone, I was joined with hundreds. 1 / 5 Van Halen / David Lee Roth MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre at the FL State Fairgrounds - Tampa, FL - Sun, Sep 13, 2015Posted 09/16/2015by notoriousscottyb I've been to see other older bands with not much expectations of a great show . I was not disappointed. That being said ... As you would think it was mostly the Dave show. His voice, key and timing are way off. It would seem as though they didn't rehearse. I really expected more from a Van Halen Show. Eddie Is usually full of energy and excited to please the crowd but not this show. I'm extremely sorry I spend the eighty bucks per ticket. It was a twenty dollar show at best. I was NOT alone walking out at ten thirty. I couldn't withstand any more of the abuse of Van Halen music. Favorite moment: Leaving early..Priceless 1 / 5 Very Disapointed PNC - Charlotte, NC - 09/11/2015Posted 09/15/2015by ChrisDaddy This was the fourth time I have seen Van Halen in my lifetime, and I realize they have gotten older as I have. I have adjusted my expectations accordingly. Eddie and family were spot on, but DLR was all over the place. I know you get some variation with live music, but he was constantly off on the lyrics, out of sync wih the band, and did a lot of just plain odd movements on stage. It sounded terrible and he was difficult to watch. As much as I love Van Halen, DLR is done..... Favorite moment: Eddie's solo 1 / 5 See Van Halen in a corner Bar SOON !!!! PNC Music Pavilion - Charlotte, NC - Fri, Sep 11, 2015Posted 09/14/2015by Furiousnight The worst Van Halen show I have ever been too. And I have been to at least 15 of Van Halen shows. Davids voice is gone. He acted to crazy and talked to much. He even stopped the middle of songs and talked. Does David have dementia. I think Wolfgang has a better voice then David. Favorite moment: Eddies guitar solo 1 / 5 VAN HALEN PNC Music Pavilion - Charlotte, NC - Fri, Sep 11, 2015Posted 09/14/2015by Anonymous I HAVE BEEN A VAN HALEN FAN SINCE 1977, SEEN THEM MANY TIMES . LOVE D THEM WITH DAVE AND SAMMY. THIS WAS ONE OF THE WORST SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN. DIAMOND DAVE CAN NOT SING , COULD NOT SING. A ENTIRE SONG, NOT THAT I WANTED TO HEAR THAT VOICE .MAYBE SHOULD TRY OUT FOR DANCING WITH THE HAS BEENS. Favorite moment: WHEN I LEFT HALF WAY THREW SHOW 1 / 5 Tour experience is a waste! Walnut Creek Amphitheatre - Raleigh, NC - Wed, Sep 9, 2015Posted 09/14/2015by Skieder We got to the sound check about 15 minutes after the time listed in the email. The check-in took long and our "escort" (a young girl) took forever to greet us at the gate. It wasn't until I questioned the check-in person how long the sound check lasted that they had a sense of urgency about actually letting us in. We had to walk all the way around the park (5 minutes at least) and got to the stage just as the band finished up. There was no exception made at all. We were not compensated whatsoever. After the sound check ended, a person who said she was in charge of the group told us where to hang out and what was available (drinks, food and t-shirt stand). We sat around for nearly 3 hours because we weren't allowed to leave the park, waiting for the opening act. For the amount of money I paid they could have done a little more. I will never purchase this product again...COMPLETE WASTE of MONEY! Favorite moment: Good seats 1 / 5 Total Disappointment Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - Bethel, NY - Sun, Sep 6, 2015Posted 09/10/2015by EMAS My husband had wanted to see Van Halen for years. He was looking very forward to this show, particularly at Bethel Woods, which is an awesome venue. This show was a complete disappointment. The opener, Kenny Wayne Shepard, was good. When VH took the stage the crowd was excited but then it ended. David Lee Roth really can't sing any longer. He was out of sync with the band, off key, off pitch - overall not good. The band didn't seem together either. The sound was too loud, the guitar overrode everything else, they just didn't seem like a professional band. We have seen bar bands that were better. It sounded like bad karaoke. When we decided to leave early - we have never left a concert early ever before - many others were streaming out as well. All were saying the same thing. This was painful! Favorite moment: The decision to leave the concert.

I agree that a 15-minute version of Dark Star seems too short, even though (ironically) 15 minutes is considered lengthy for other band's jams; and not just 1971's "Ladies and Gentlemen". Another example is the so-called "long awaited" Dark Star from "The Closing of Winterland" (1977/78?).......WAY TOO SHORT to have any true benefit for me; even though the delightful Dark Star from 1973 Winterland remains an all-time favorite, like the Dark Stars from Paris & Rotterdam, 1972. Also, one of the very best Dark Stars was included on (what I feel is the best bonus disk of all) the bonus disk from "Thelma" L.A. 1969!

What did you do selectively pick all the negative reviews?Here's the link tonTicketmaster, avg review of 3.8/5. http://reviews.ticketmaster.com/7171/772490/van-halen-reviews/reviews.h… As for talking through the songs, DLR did that in the 80's, so nothing has changed. Yes, it is totally possible to see them having a bad night, every band has that at some time. Jerry had that a lot in 94/95, but people kept going to the shows.

Yes, I agree-that Dark Star on the Thelma bonus disc from 1969 is exceptional. To me, Dark Stars in 1969 reached a pinnacle which they started climbing with the initial versions in 1968. There are some good Dark Stars in 1970-the obvious one, plus 15/5/70-and the 19/9/70 already referred to is worth checking out. To me 1971, the first half, signified a cooling off period-but when Keith joined, things really got interesting with Dark Star. So many great ones-especially from 1972. That 1978 version isn't one of the best, as you say. I commented earlier on about being unimpressed by white bands copying blues bands. On this New Years Dark Star, it almost seems as though The Dead are copying themselves-from earlier times. It just doesn't come across as authentic. Not like the 1977-1978 material they perfected in those years.

Whoever said "Pigpen is not a poet" has two good eyes but he still can't see... Make that "two good ears and he still can't hear." Ever listened to the blue collar blues of "Operator"? Ever listened to the gospel-influenced "Two Souls in Communion"? Ever listen to any of his raps on any of his songs? Ever listen to his take on Lightning Hopkins' songs? Ever read about his love for the Beat Generation poets that preceded the '60s? Get some life experience. Listen to Pigpen for another 20-30 years. I'll expect a full report on my desk at 8am, Sunday, May 29, 2046. To Dave L: please bring on the grease, we have youngins in need of poetic grease. Looks like an emergency!

"Way down upon Sycamore Slougha white man sings the blues"

Actually, I just googled "David Lee Roth Can't Sing Anymore" and those were the results lol - come on man, he's awful, even he admits it. Here's an article citing the same woes: http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/back-to-rockv… I'm a huge fan, but enough's enough. So are you saying he CAN sing? I guess you are. After the Jimmy Kimmel performance: In the wake of the band’s appearance, America voted on social media about Van Halen, and delivered a mixed review. Most viewers trashed Roth for his vocal shortcomings. The common wisdom seems to be that while Van Halen is still an instrumental powerhouse, and that Eddie may be playing better than he’s played in two decades, Roth has lost it as a live vocalist. Here's the Cleveland "official review": http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/08/eddie_and_alex… Here's another: http://www.straight.com/music/david-lee-roth-wrecks-van-halens-victory-… Sorry Ice Cream Man, this is the last I'll mention it, but I couldn't sit by and say nothing when you're encouraging people to waste money on this. You want to see a band? Go see the Who, where Daltrey is hitting notes that no man in his 70s has a right to hit - this is how it's done (FF to 6:00 and watch - the big moment comes at 6:35) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO4JijGhAqc There's a great Uncle John's Band on Thelma, arranged like none I've heard elsewhere, and for a great shorter '71 Dark Star, there's an incredible performance with Tom Constanten guesting on Ladies & Gentlemen - really sweet.

I suppose it depends on what you think poetry is. I like the words of Operator, but I'm not as keen on the ones for Two Souls in Communion. They attracted my attention when I first heard them all those years ago-I'm not young by the way-I have been into The Dead for over 40 years!-but to me they don't move me at all anymore, I'm afraid. I hadn't heard of Pigpens love of the Beat poets. Unfortunately, the love of artists-be they poets, musicians or whatever, has no bearing as to whether you have talent. I have listened to Jimi Hendrix all my life. I have a fender strat-like Jimi Hendrix. Its tuned to E flat-like Jimi Hendrix. And sometimes I plug in and play Hey Joe-just like Jimi Hendrix. Guess what? It sounds nothing like him! For me-apart from Robert Hunter-there aren't any, what I would call "poets" in rock music. Good lyricists for sure-but not really poets. I mean, if Pigpen is a poet-what is William Blake, or Shakespeare?

Who were William Blake and Shakespeare? I don't know. We're not all English you know.

Thanks for the VH link, I will check it out. Been spinning the new Dylan while cleaning up around the house and starting some jambalaya (we'll see how that turns out). Might jump over to the Van Halen or think I'll detour first with the next show in the July box, I am up to Omaha. First, a little Cahoots...doesn't get as much love as their first three albums, but several classics including one of my favorite Danko songs, Thinkin' Out Loud.

I like to back-up all my CDs to a couple internal hard drives, but recently had EAC quit working for me. What software do you use to securely rip CDs to your computer?

They're just wanna-bees. Could they play Lightning Hopkins convincingly on acoustic guitar and growl with soul over an electric blues band? Remember, poets aren't just about words on a page. The best include a little booty swagger as they sing their songs. And in Pigpen's case, some audience members actually got laid. If Billy Shake-the-spear had put more body language into it, he mighta been onto something. Or sumpin'... I rest my case.

At least you know who he is. Shakespeare's best poetry was written to be read out loud. I can appreciate that the plays may not be performed in America, but they still are in England, and the best are phenomenal. The Globe in London is the place to go to see one of his plays. Its a beautiful old theatre designed to look like a 17th century playhouse. I go as often as I can, and a couple of years ago I saw Titus Andronicus there. It was so physical and violent that people were fainting and being carried out by stewards. A real assault on the senses. Even smell was overcome by thick pungent incense. I assume you also know that William Blake influenced the Beats-Allen Ginsberg in particular, and was plagiarised by Jim Morrison on the first Doors album. Robert Hunter obviously read, digested and loved Shakespeare. Althea quotes from Hamlet directly-"perchance to dream". It also references Ophelia, who commits suicide in the play after being rejected. Lightning Hopkins was good-but there is a whole world of other things out there that are, too.

Didja ever hear his rendition of Smokestack Lightning, you know, the one with the 16 minute lute solo! Of course, trying to compare Blake, Shakespeare, Hopkins & McKernan is like trying to compare apples & jackfruit. Pointless exercise.

That reminds me of the New Yorker Dead article.. "They made a lot of studio albums, but few memorable ones, and had just one Top Forty hit in thirty years, and not for lack of trying. Yet it’s probably safe to say that the Dead have more recorded music in circulation than any performing group in history. (History, admittedly, is short. If there’d been such a thing as a Nakamichi 700 tape deck in eighteenth-century Leipzig, people might be trading bootlegs of Bach performing his own fugues: “St. Thomas’s Church, 5/8/39, Johann rips on the ‘Little’—epic!)"

The River Hymn.

In my original post I never said that DLR could still sing, I said that he was a great showman. I also said that Eddie was still awesome, and that the whole band could still rock. That's why I recommended seeing VH.Yeah, when I saw them last September DLR's voice was giving out at the end of the show. Maybe he should scream less at the beginning of the show. But I also listened to Jerry mumble the words many times, but kept going back for the guitar work. Similar situation here. Another note, they are classified as a 'hard rock' band. And they live up to that by turning the sound way up, which in some venues sounds terrible. It also depends on your location in the venue. Last September was outdoors and GA, so I went to a spot with good sound.

You can import with iTunes. If you have 2 computers use the one that isn't where your main iTunes collection is (if you use iTunes).In iTunes, in Preferences, you can set the location of the iTunes folder. Set this location on a hard drive, then import your CDs with iTunes, and the music files will be saved in the iTunes folder. After importing a CD, go to the folder and rename the folder that says 'unknown artist' (if you had iTunes search the internet for the CD then the folder might be named for the CD). You then have folders of the music files (you have to set the file format for importing in preferences). The files can be used to burn CD-Rs or convert formats for music players.

....and grill. This afternoons menu includes New York strip, grilled corn (open the husks, pull out the strings, coat with butter and Lawry's garlic salt, re-husk and wrap in foil. Trust me), baked beans and bacon. Put those on a charcoal grill. Mashed taters. Radishes and cucumbers in a vinaigrette, turn on a baseball game and feast. Peach pie to wash it down. Hope y'all have an awesome Memorial Day. Tomorrow's menu features all-beef Ball Park Frank's, potato salad, bbq chips, and other stuff....
