She was only sixteen, only sixteen

I loved her so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose

Bachelor dandies

Drinkers of brandies

What do I know of those

Well, there's this:

Girls of fifteen

Sexually knowing

The ushers are sniffing

Eau-de-cologning

The seats are seductive

Celibate sitting

Pretty girls digging

Prettier women.

Not sure it is purely a song of love, but I say God bless Pete Townsend...

and for something a little different there is the Taylor Swift song...

In 1914 I started to roam

Went out into the West with nothing of my own

I went drifting along with the tide

And landed on the Great Divide

Railroading on the Great Divide

Nothing around me but the Rockies and sky

It's there you'll find me as the years roll by

Railroading on the Great Divide

Ask any old timer in old Cheyenne

Wyoming railroading's the best in the land

A long steel rail and a short cross tie

Laid across the Great Divide

Dancing in the sand to the sounds of DSO

Nothing around me but my friends and the sky

It's there you'll find me as the years roll by

Dancing in the sand liste'n to DSO

"The Dead played this once, on 11 June 1969 at a concert billed as Bobby Ace and the Cards from the Bottom of the Deck. The song was originally performed by the Carter Family..."

This one seems to fit my blue mood this morning.

Peace, and Love,

Doc

It's just 14 more days until sound check party time.

Right away I bought me a through train ticket

Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean

And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham

Smokin' into New Orleans

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

Just help me get to Houston town

There are people there who care a little 'bout me

And they won't let the poor boy down

Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit

They put luggage in my hand

And I woke up high over Albuquerque

On a jet to the promised land

Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte

Flyin' over to the Golden State...

On the twelve day of Grateful Fest Sue sent me her itinerary. So how excited am I. Well Sue and I were best friends in high school and for years afterwards. Circumstances separated us for too long. We began talking a bit back in 95, but have been in more regular communication these last couple of years. We haven't seen each other in 25 years. Sue is flying out to Newark from Eugene, landing at 7am. I am picking her up and heading out to Garettsville in time for the sound check. Another memorablia time at Nelson's Ledge is expected for all. I can't wait to see everyone but am especially excited to reunite with Sue.

Peace everyone

"Twelve crimson stars

Shining bright overhead

They shall make music

To wake the dead."

"Resurrection Rag" Robert Hunter, played by Merl Saunders with Phil Lesh and Friends on 29 May 1999

"In ruby light of crescent moon

Calm in the aftermath of doom

Wines twine round

The slice of a knife

Flowers, seeds

Traces of life

A wind from the west

Plays flute on the holes

Of ash blue craters

Melody rolls

The voice of the song

So strangely like you

When the moon was white

And the sky was still blue

Resurrection Rag

The voice of the moon

I've heard it before

I remember the tune"

PT a f%$*ing Genius!

Uppers and downers

Either way blood flows.

Inside outside. Leave me alone.

Inside outside. Nowhere is home.

Inside outside, Where have I been?

Out of my brain on the five fifteen.

Works for the ledges anyway!

Now we are at the 10 ..9..8..and so forth that became so much a cliche during the early space race.

For some reason it brings back memories of the time that the Soviates had the first and only man made satalite. Our efforts exploded three of four times when the Navy's rocket, the Vanguard, tried to leave the pad at Cape Canavera...all replayed on TV news shows. Then the assignment was turned over to the Army team, Von Baun and others you have not heard of. We didn't see our Fathers until late at night when they returned home from late work at Redstone. Then one Friday night my Father came home and said everyone get into the car because the whole town is having a party and were celibrating around the square....The USA had had made our first sucessful step into space with a satalite.

Peace and Love,

Doc

See this nine pound hammer

Is a little too heavy

For my size

For my size

Now roll on buddy (roll on buddy)

Don't you roll so slow (roll so slow)

How can I roll (how can I roll)

When the wheels won't go

I'm going on a mountain (going on a mountain)

To see my baby (to see my baby)

And I ain't coming back (ain't coming back)

No I ain't coming back

"Played by Jerry Garcia with the Black Mountain Boys in March 1964 (sometimes listed on tapes as "Roll On Buddy"). He also played it with the Hart Valley Drifters in November 1962, and with the Wildwood Boys at the Monterey Folk Festival in 1963. Recorded by Garcia and Grisman some 30 years later, though never played live."

JUST NINE MORE DAYS

There's mosquitoes on the river

Fish are rising up like birds

It's been hot for seven weeks now

Too hot to even speak now

Did you hear what I just heard?

Say, it might have been a fiddle

Or it could have been the wind

But there seems to be a beat now

I can feel it in my feet now

Listen here it comes again

There's a band out on the highway

They're high-stepping into town

It's a rainbow full of sound

It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns

Everybody's dancing

Come on children, come on children

Come on clap your hands
