People. I'm not interested in buying your psychedelics, your marijuana products, your edibles, pictures of you naked or you actually naked. So please, please stop following me with that crap. All it does is make me block you.

So for the kid story. When our son was a kid and a budding musician he couldn't get anyone to play the kind of music he liked. So he just did it all by himself. He'd lay out all the tracks, record them, mix them etc. This is at 14 (the feedback goes away)

I was listening to some old stuff by our kid (that's a story for another day) and ended up at Hesitation Blues. This is Jorma and Jack's version - the old one

Good Sunday Morning everybody. I always end up playing the Garcia Saunders version of this from San Anselmo 6/4/74. So, for a change started this Sunday with the original #PtahTheElDaoud by #AliceColtrane

Good Morning folks. Been listening to this show over the last 2 days. I was there and at Hershey 2 days later when it rained like a son of a gun.

Good Sunday Morning everybody. Got up thinking of this song. Heard it first in '78 while I was working a summer job in Germany. Something about this guy reminded me of Dylan. Then, over the years I watched their inexorable slide into his MTV. What a pity.

Good Sunday Morning everybody. Here's a nice slow GDTRFB from May '77. You know that month was something else when even Donna is always right in the groove. Check her out doing her stuff on this.

The originally may be rarely heard.
