Some Recent Drivel fr: FB re GD

Yeah… I rode this particular monster thru The Grateful Show in '83. I lent it my all, as any fine citizen must when Liberty calls and certain business must be attended to. Yes, I know that young lady with the flowers exploding from her curls. Guilty.

So, you already locked me up and that was a cure for nothin'; not even your own misery.

Let's try this instead. Dance with this girl on the Shores of Heaven. Taste her.

    Steven Solomon Ah, then that "Playin'; in the Band". Remember the moment went that lick, ""You can't close the doors when the walls caved in!" came into your mind. So pure and simple. I do remember the exact second. Bang! No turning back. Fire the Hyper-Thrusters! As soon as I forget about that moment, I start to screw up.

    Then, the drumz thunder and moan. This is how we scared away the big cats. This is not a moment for the timid.

But now that the Sky has been ripped open every notion that might be common is rendered asunder to make way for more Space, Futhur exploration, and perhaps something to ease a worried mind.

    Steven Solomon That would be "The Wheel". This here's the sound of my own happiness and hope. Thank you, Hunter. Thank you, dumb ol' Garcia. You guys built a tower of blissful simplicity with a few words and a few chords. Not a bad job with what'all you had to work with ;-)
