Let’s take a step back.

The trees are green, the land is warming, we can’t let it rain anymore because the ground is sponge. In the North East of the US, finally we don’t have to scrape the windows of our cars from ice. I hate that sound. It’s depressing…then comes the 38F and rain…pneumonia and arthritis weather. A walk out on the morning dew today, yes.

Time to put in the gardens in, say a prayer to St Stephen, and Let It Grow. It’s the best of times.

Way back in 1977, this band called the Grateful Dead went on a tour. Well, they trouped along and ended up in Cornell U in NY on the night of the 8th of May, 1977. So, my friends…things happened…it is agreed by us boring Deadheads that this passage of May to June 77 was a seriously special time; their roadies are on record of being in amazement. They were DEAD on. Their music can be very unapproachable from a casual non Dead-Head point of view. However. Those of you who arent familiar. please listen.

Say ‘5 8 77’ to a Deadhead and they will nod, and then discuss how much better the show was two days prior or a few days after. At that point we are dancing on the head of a pin, and yinz ain’t angels n’at. The tunes they do from Merle Haggard Marty Robbins are perfect.

I’ll leave yins to go yinztube the shows if yinz want, It’s really great stuff.. I’ve got the heavy vinyl of 5/8/77 playing on a u turn deck, grado gold, into the monster: Mitsubishi DA-P10–>DA-A10 (the two capacitors will kill you on discharge)–>4x B&O redline 140s and and an onkyo (oddly enough) powered sub accompanied by a nice Davidoff cigar and a 1942 Don Julio tequila.

i’m gonna hit balls and be CC for the next few days (see the documentary ‘Caddyshack’)

I like this cat a lot. no commercial stuff by mentioning him
