  1. They were about to play that cave in Tennessee (?) right before lockdown hit. It would be nice to see that come to fruition. Yea, that needs to happen
  2. I just took the time to listen to the ‘sing me back home’ clip and revel in the beautiful memories. It brought me to tears, just as it did when DSO did it as a filler, Not long after she had her stroke, in Dewey about three and a half years ago. I was front and center, awash in the beauty of that song and the delivery by the band. No one did more for me than my mother. I did have the benefit of being the youngest child of an Irish woman. She would drive me from North Wilmington to the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, watch me climb through a hole in the chain link fence, cross the off ramp, on my way to skateboard the drainage ditches around the highway there. She would come back a few hours later to pick me up. That would get you handcuffs these days. Later that same day, dinner was on time and delicious. Sorry about your loss, AC. I believe that a long life, well lived is worthy of a celebration, even though the sudden finality can be overwhelming for us who are left here.
  3. My mother passed away yesterday afternoon. Of all of the many thoughts as I mourn her passing, I keep coming back to one happy thought that I think we all could relate to. I’m trying to envision the perfect song list for the funeral of a mother. Franklin’s Tower Mama tried Big Railroad Blues Brokedown Palace That’s all I got so far. Feel free to jump in and add to the list.
  4. As a local businessman (Joe the Barber) in Wilmington, De., my father would meet with Joe Biden on occasion, to give him a pulse on the local community. This happened more so in the beginning of his career as a Senator. My sister knocked door to door for his first campaign. I have heard him speak about the importance of family to the point that his entire body was shaking when I was just a boy. What you see is what you get with Joe Biden. How he speaks today is his core. It always has been. While I honestly believe that he is more frail than strong, I hope that he can lead us out of this hell that we find ourselves in. Let the youth take us forward once we get to stable ground.
  5. Don’t forget, he leads the world in trying to golf, also. Congrats on the new born child, Rude. Raising a child is the hardest thing you’ll ever do and the best thing you’ll ever do. My daughter is due on June 2nd. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather, especially, since I have looked like one for so long.
  6. Shakedown on way to commercial, commercial was playing hard to handle, tonight’s game. Pretty sure GD never played those two in that order. Sounds like maybe a DSO elective. Anybody?
  7. Just turned the chiefs game on in time to catch Tony Romo quoting Jerry, if the thunder don’t get you, the lightening will. Infiltration is complete.
  8. Estimated studio version on way to commercial on tonight’s game.
  9. I don’t know you but now believe that I do after reading that, going back to where. You are the same as me. I read it as you probably wrote it, with a stream of conscience. Thank you. I needed that. It was read while 11/30/80 played alongside me. Space into the wheel into China doll. A warm embrace from more than six feet away.
  10. I checked that one out this morning. I love the feelin groovy jam of the ‘73 China Ryders. I also noted a late first set Row Jimmy. I love the ‘broken heart don’t feel so bad’ lyric. If that don’t sum it up nothing does. Followed by a lyric that is some of the best advice ever given. Not too fast and not too slow.....
  11. Every cold I have ever had was worse than this. I was down for about 24 hours. Chills. No loss of smell. Eyes burned a little. I’m counting my good fortune. The best of both worlds. Now I will be immune. No more anxiety. I stayed busy around the house while in lockdown. . A customer (who already had COVID) gave me two 15 foot tall Emerald green Arbor Vitae. I planted them by myself(with a little creativity) while I was ‘sick’. I have had good fortune with COVID.
  12. I got it. I either caught it while voting and brought it to the show or caught it at the show and brought it home to myself. Depends on if you call first symptoms the first time I started coughing or when symptoms got impossible to ignore. I started coughing the day after the show, fever by Thursday. Tested positive on Friday after Halloween. I’m going for another test tomorrow, hopefully negative. Back to work outside, away from customers on Monday. Did contact tracing, my customers are testing negative. Hugh, you’re the only unlucky one I was around. So far.
  13. .....Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.
  14. That must have only been at your house. I think Tea caught a ‘And we bid you good night’. Ha ha!
  15. I believe that it is the result of the Grateful Dead and their fans taping their shows. It makes the music available, able to transcend time, stay alive. Their unique playing style also helps, as you must try to listen to every tape. If you get into it, you must be a student of the music. Hence, I wide array of Deadheads, some of which weren’t even born until after Jerry died. I don’t see Elvis pulling that off.,
  16. Saint of circumstance on Thursday night football, easing in to commercial.
  17. I would say security was soft. I wandered off from my quad pretty much the whole time. Of course, I was fifty feet from being front and center so the pull was strong. If I was halfway back, I’d probably stay in me quad. No searching on the way in. You could bring anything probably. We each had our own cooler. No one looked. Security’s goal was to keep the lanes clear. Not sure why. Ambulances? They would chase you off occasionally but then again, I had wandered off.
