Mem - That's cool. I like Donald "Duck" Dunn. He was with Booker T and the MG's - right? And of course the blues brothers. bets - I found that recently and can't seem to open it. I want to keep it in its "sam goody" state. Look at that price .49cents - what can you get for that today? A newspaper and a few bazooka. FAVORITE COLOR INK FOR PEN: red | ||

purple! I have these two discs on vinyl (one's a single, one's a mini) that I've never opened:   | ||

bets - what is the non grateful dead album there? I can see why you didn't open touch of grey.... I like the dead but that song was not so great. The dead hold a special place in my heart. I was taken to a show early in my music life, when I was 15-16ish and made out with a college girl. It was the best thing I did in high school. Someone also spiked my sprite. I remember buying a t shirt and telling the seller I wanted the one that was moving around. He said "right on". | ||

Buzz - that's Rickie Lee Jones, Girl at her Volcano; I forget what year and am too lazy/tired right now to look it up. I know what you mean about Touch of Grey. I was lucky enough to see my first Grateful Dead show in '83, well before the Touch-heads hit the scene in '87. I know I have my fave dead shirt tucked away somehwere, packrat that I am, it was Rocky and Bullwinkle and the screen was slightly off-center. The seller was hawking them with "is it you or is it the shirt?" I hope your spiked Sprite was with alcohol, because spiking with acid is a cruel, inhuman act. It happened to me at around age 15, before I even knew what the hell it meant, and I seriously thought I was losing my mind and/or dying. I knew what acid was as I have 10 older siblings; I didn't have any interest or desire to take it and I still resent the person (24 years later!) for what he did. So, was that your only Grateful Dead concert? Was it before or after the touch-head phenomenon? | ||

Oh, and the Rickie Lee mini-album has an incredible version of Down at the Boardwalk. | ||

bets- touch-head? I am an old deadhead and never heard that term! Touch of Gray was the beginning of the end - well, actually, that white album was. My first show was May 78. sorry I have no pics to post. But am enjoying yours, buzzsaw. | ||

Unabashed Rush fan here too Buzz. Seen them more than any other band. Used to own a blue one of these...  and then a few more came my way. I ended up with 4 at one point, and a peavey. I thought Geddy Lee and John Entwistle were God's. Still do frankly. On the day we moved to Maplewood, we were packing our van and hightailing it out of North Brunswick (our stay there less than 9 months) and Q104 decided to play the whole of 2112. Made my wife cringe and made me the happiest moving man alive. | ||

I didn't take this photo, but a guy I know did (99.7% of what I post is mine). This sums up the way I feel today.  Friday. The big excape. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Winter is over. Spring is sprunging. My dogwood is blooming. Things are pretty OK. Sure. It is supposed to rain Saturday and Sunday...but you know what April showers do. bets: I was aware of the dead when I was really young. My best friend was the youngest of three brothers. All brothers were deadheads. I think I went right before the touch of grey era. The last show I went to was when Sting opened for them. I wasn't a super fan - but I liked the music and the scene. The song row jimmy is an all time favorite. It was lsd in my sprite and I was told the second I finished it. I freaked and was calmed down by about five people whom I trusted. I had a lot of fun. I have a diary entry from that night. I think I mentioned something about my teeth being angels...... ffof: thanks. I have always been a fan of the picture that is your icon. what is it? or maybe I should let the mystery be. duncan: YAS! Another big Rush fan. I love that bass - it's so good to look at. I have seen rush live many times. The last time I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I went alone. This was the vapor trails tour. I had a great time. I wish I could have seen them at Radio City last year. My wife HATES them. I have never met a woman that likes them. FAVORITE TOOTH: incisor  | ||

oh buzzsaw, like Dave, you are just a tad too young to remember! It's Dan Rowan and Dick Martin from the one-of-a-kind hilarious Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In (1968-69). One segment of the show Dan and Dick would give out the Fickle Finger of Fate Award to someone or something goofy (or fickly fateful!)that happened in the news. In the picture they are holding up the award - it's a hand with the forefinger pointing up. Too bad they don't show re-runs. I have Soda to thank for sizing the pic so that I could use it as my icon. Back in the reval days here on MOL, there was a poster (shall remain nameless) who really would argue with me (maybe it was me arguing with her?), and it turned out she mostly was mad at my screen name because she remembered the finger to be the middle finger. Now that wouldn't be nice! | ||

buzz, again, I have to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. The way you right is quirky, the photos even quirkier, and I love it. I can't decide if you're just some wacky guy who likes to take off-beat photos, or an aritistic genius!  You may have inspired me to go out and take some of my own quirky photos. I've always thought if I were to start a blog it would include lots of photos too. Nature photography is my passion (and the kids, of course, but how many of those can an "outsider" stand). It might give me more opportunities to take photos for no other reason than to take them. Oh, BTW, perhaps you just need to meet more women (in a purely platonic way of course  ). I happen to really like Rush. I like lots of different kinds of music. Although, I dated I guy in HS that was a huge Dead Head and pretty much got my fill of them. He listened to them all the time, had bootleg tapes from every concert. Got pretty sick of them in the few months I dated this guy. | ||

Meandtheboys - Hey thanks for the compliment ! The best pictures are the ones you just take rather than the ones you think too much about. And with digital photos being all the craze these days - you don't have to worry about film processing costs. If pictures of your children are what you like to take than click click click click away. Your pictures are for you. You know I have been thinking I need to meet more women. Why just yesterday the lady at the counter at the mapleleaf said I was her friend for life. I think I had exact change. It's the little things. Sunday. It's chilly. Not raining. At least it's not snowing. I hope to be warmed my my grill later today. Basking in a shower grilly smoke.  | ||

If you ever thought about playing air guitar - but were too scared to try. Put on that "blue orchard" song by them White Stripes. You'll find it pretty easy. | ||

TIPS ON PHOTOGRAPHING GHOSTS (author unknown) Trick 1: I usually get the best photographs by staying near people with positive attitudes. Spirits tend to interact more with positive personalities than persons with negative attitudes. People with negative attitudes can influence and hinder investigations severely and should be avoided. If disbelievers require proof they should at least enter each situation with an open mind. Trick 2: Let the group you are with slowly pass you by, then take a photo of the group. Spirits like to observe from above and behind groups. I usually capture something at about 20 feet away. Trick 3: When near the back of the group get your camera ready and shoot a quick picture from behind your head. Ghosts like to follow and will be expecting to move with you especially if they don't want to be photographed. | ||
