    Sure, that's what they all say.... Emeritus Briver it is, then! Carry on, and with Lainie at your side, your family dancing along and Ellie Mae twirling the dial and laying out tunes, it oughta be just fine. As a mark of respect and Sunday good will, would you care to listen to a bit of the ABB this am? My KDED remote control wrist watch has been converted to solar power and it's summertime! Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. My father was a gambler down in Georgia, And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun. And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus Rollin' down highway 41. Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin', Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee, They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord Them Delta women think the world of me. Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man.

    Just to clarify my current role in this journey of life .... As of July 6th, I have become briver emeritus...... The torch has been passed down a generation, just like Phil n Friends and Billy and the Kids.... Ellie Mae is steering....I offer navigational support.... Allowing me to watch life go by.... Oh look, a squirrel!

    It is remarkable, that many of us share those thoughts...after the GD splashed their mystical musical miracles on our consciousnesses, no other band would do. Life's philosophy, the journey, developing a creed to live life by, whether a mission, a way of life, whatever it may be...a good dose of the Boy's music and friends and family close by makes it all that much better. You are in fine company, Sir Briver, and we salute you and your spirit!

    Don't tell me this bus ain't got no heart....
    Watching the sun rise and reflecting on nothing in particular this morning. Took Lainie and some friends to see History of the Eagles tour last night at local hockey arena... Two sets over 3 hours, Bernie Leadon back picking banjo...started promising, Frey and Henley playing acoustic sitting on amps....Saturday Night and Train Leaves Here This Morning.... Exceptional sound, exhaustive setlist, great light show.... They gave nods to Jackson Browne, Richie Furay, JD Souther and Linda Ronstadt.... Walking back to the car, Elaine and friends thanked me and raved about the show.... They asked what I thought....I replied they are very polished, Elaine who's known me for 34 years, said why didn't you like it....I said, cause they went through the motions, I didn't feel it...they've go no heart... The exact same response I gave her following the Stones show last Saturday.... she said...what did you expect, the Grateful Dead.... Yes....the Dead changed my life, my friends, my life philosophy and my appreciation of music and my expectations... I have become a music snob... I am a Deadhead and I miss Jerry.... coffee is on....

    She wore Blue VelvetBluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than May her tender sighs Love was ours Ours a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left gone was the glow of Blue Velvet But in my heart there'll always be Precious and warm a memory through the years And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears and blue glitter nail polish.... Good night Geo and Goodnight Irene....see you both in my dreams....

Back in the 80's, my dad took the entire video of my brother's wedding with the camera upside down. The last thing on the recording is his grumbly baritone growling ... "godammit, you mean I've had this fucking thing..." One of my life's true precious memories. Man oh man, I miss that man.

Youngster! I think my first LP was Out of the Blue by ELO, or was it Capt Fantastic by Elton? Probably Elton John, I think it came out in '73-74 (I was 9-10 yrs old).

R.I.P. B.B. King! I was lucky to get to see him about 10 years ago with Buddy Guy warming up. BB sat the whole time while he played but put on a great show. A true blues legend...

And goodnight, dear B.B. Thank you for the music. It's nice to think of everyone communing together in person and remotely over the Dear Jerry fest while I was at work doing the deal. Sorry for the loss of the Blues great. It's just that Wheel. So. Here's to all our safe passage to Chicago and beyond. It will be great while it lasts <3 Boo I hope to see some of those monkeys in June. Hope they have a place to play! Sounds like there's nothing but nothing near SC. Big sigh. :) I have a gray-eyed cat snuggled up to me as I say goodnight with my brown eyes. Another two hours before rrgrr and Tonytone are up but... I think we've had enough of a day, que no? It's been a big full day. Night dreamerz... Sweetest of dreamzzz.
