I think it's the year 5767, but I could be wrong...At any rate, Hippy New Weir to the weirld!
I'm not religious so won't be going to shul this or next weekend.

I don't even belong to a shul, but I teach at a JCC and since I teach 3 different classes, I light shabbat candles and sing blessings twice on Thursday and once on Fridays. Shabbat tunes & rhymes are usually stuck in my head thru the weekend.
Bringing in the light for Shabbat
Bringing in the light for Shabbat,
Put a little here, Put a little there.
Put a little light everywhere!
We're dressed up in our best cuz,
Shabbat comes like a guest,
we watch the candles shine
and
say
the prayer
for
wine!"
very catchy stuff...

There's a blessing/song called Adon Olam that's popular around now. A woman named Lynn Gold has made a list of tunes that Adon Olam can be sung to, Uncle John's Band is on it . I can't imagine how that might sound?
...
On the topic of mixing Jewish things & Deadheadism. Here are a few articles that may interest some
Deadheads do Kabbalah, Jews mythologize Grateful Dead Seder
And also Why are there so many Jewish Deadheads?

Apples & Honey to all!


From GDSTOO:



Bob Weir and RatDog:
We have started the ticketing process for the upcoming
tour. All orders received will be filled. It will take about
2 weeks to get it all done. We try and do this in as much of
a chronological manner as we can, but sometimes tickets
for a later date arrive before tickets for an earlier show get
to us, so not to worry about that.

Tickets are available for all shows and those of you who called
about the Buffalo shows, we have managed to secure some
more tickets, so you are welcome to mail in for those 2 days.
In other words, tickets for the Buffalo shows are available.
========

YAY!
Alan Hess has put up some photos from Rock The Earth Sunday in his gallery!

and here is a link to Minkin's pix- I can see part of my teeny lil head in one of those crowd pix..

And another new to me dead related sorta blog called Gratefuldread.net

Did you know that the Rex Foundation has not just a website but also has a BLOG!?!

Happy Bertha today to Julie aka Graceful Dead from DNC!
Julie's been all over the US to see Ratdog. A few years ago she spent an entire season or was it 2(?) traveling to shows painted like a skeleton!! She's a great friend to many and I hope today is a good one for her. And here's her website ENJOY!

INow to segue to another great lady of rock & roll. Janis Joplin! There's a play about Joplin happening in SF called "Love Janis" If you go tonight to see it, please do keep in mind that it is Tie Dye Tuesday.

Here's a blog by one of the musicians who played @ the Rock the Earth Benefit on Sunday!

Once again, Mr Scott made plans without consulting me...I wasnt pleased but what could I say? One of his poker buddies had 49er Opening game tix for all. On my own yet again to a show. I figured the daughter would come along and maybe the birthday kid too, but nope, kids had stuff like homework they needed to do. A friend called from the park to let me know that dogs on leashes were okay! I wouldve liked to have shown off my beautiful Lilah (with her "coal black hair") but she'd have freaked out. She's not a "people dog" really just likes being home with her family.

Buster (today is his first anniversary of coming to live with us!) mightve been just fine but did I really want to have to schlep water & poop bags and where did we leave that leash?

Clock was ticking so I finally wrote out directions and jumped in the car.
I have been to McLaren once before around 1976 with my (then)boyfriend Joe (guitar Joe, his website is on this page with the links) We were there to see a band but I don't remember which band (hey maybe one MK was in back then? who knows? who can recall?) I remember sitting on a hill and after, passing the Cow Palace on the way home. The highway mightve changed thanks to Loma Prieta, but I found the Park. I turned down John Shelley Blvd- except for some parked cars and a handsome kid riding around in circles on a bicycle, the street seemed deserted.
I was just wondering if I should keep driving along when I recognized the bicycle kid as our own Jay Lane! No one better to ask how far down to drive! I was told I was close and to walk thru some trees to find the amphitheater. And so that's just what I did!
Once inside the amphitheater, I recognized the place from before though I don't remember the concrete theater, I did remember the hill.
The usual suspects and Bay Area Dogheads were out in full force (except for Scott). The crowd was light.
Every view was a good one.
A band was on stage playing one U2 song after another. I mentioned to a friend that the lead singer had a kinda Bono thing going on with the hat & glasses and the lead guitar had a hat like the other guy in U2. When they got to the 4th U2 song, I finally figured out that they must be a cover band (oh!). Zoo Station was the name so there ya go!
Wandered around for a bit during the setbreak not a lot of boothes but still nice to browse and visit with everyone from Mazzy, Paulyy, JB (from Grateful Graphics) & Alan to Reisha, Bahamashead & Vera. Kemmie brought her twins. Looking good in the new tie dyes, Kem!
MK, Jay, Robin , DG & others(Pete Sears!) hit the stage as MK & Buds and lots of rocking going on. Dear Mr Fantasy was a good choice for the venue, I thought. There was 'Hey Pocky Way" and "Noize has gotta go" too. They didnt play as long as I wouldve liked to hear them but it was cool set despite a few tech probs at first.
Next up was (I'll need to look up the name) aother one of those hot lil jambands that feature a fiddle player. Been seeing more and more of these. Ala SCI? Nice but don't know why they seemed to have been on stage longer than Buds?
At last David's Rubber Souldiers came on! I loved the Beatles covers and Birdsong.
For a setlist & proper names of those that sat in check out David's Rubber Souldiers page! I hear that Peter recorded the show (Hopefully the MK & Buds portion too!). By the time Dave Nelson came on, I had to get home. All in all a fun sunny afternoon!

Translation?
How do we get Ratdog into this line up?
I miss Amsterdam!

Slap on the wrist for JP Barlow?. Sure took long enough to get that day in court.

Thank you to Benchmusic blog forthis "How does it feel?" video. Getting me so in the mood for the upcoming Weirbacks shows!!
Tony's pix can be viewed @ http://zimnoch.smugmug.com
and his main blog is @ Everton blogspot.com !
But first....
This very afternoony, is Rock the Earth concert over in McLaren park!
MK & Buds and the Fabulous David Gans are among the musicians playing today!
El Senor Scott is at the 49er game (grrr) but perhaps one or both kids will accompany me .
Doubtful I can lure the birthday boy ((Noah)) off his new computer or tear Princess ((Sash)) away from the telephone..but I'll try.
see ya there!

No telling how this ended up on youtube??...
I've got a weakness for piano bars.
Ended my first date with ole Scotto at a piano bar. I can still remember the epic hangover,
No better place to tie one on at as you can see in this vid..





Happy Birthday today to Ms. Maile!!!
Which groovy cruise picture of her to post?

nice!

Videos of Bobby sitting in with Jelly can be viewed @ www.myspace.com/jellymusic!
Here's one from there now!

It's Rock The Earth!

I have never watched "Survivor" but if someone on it is said to be a cross between "Caine" from the old show "Kung Fu" and Bob Weir, then you know, I might have to check that out.

Stevie/Waybacks emails are too funny!

Here's the latest:



Howdy!

Things are getting strange out there, folks. Or maybe not. One way or the other we've clearly lost perspective. And it's not caffeine abuse, either ... as you know, we leanted THAT lesson the hard way. Perhaps it's just road fatigue. Festival season always means preposterous routing, and we simply do whatever it takes to get to from summertime festival to summertime festival all over North America. Necessarily that means too much sedentary time sitting in mechanical conveyances of various typestoo much greasy food (one restaurant chain has decided to cut to the chase and simply offer on their menus Fried Item # 1, Fried Item #2, etc), and too little sleep. Oooo, that's a wicked combo. It means too much time to notice What's Going On Out There.

Strangeness starts happening at the beginning of each tour. It starts at the airport. We wonder how TSA (Transporation Safety Authority, although travelling musicians regularly refer to them as "Tears Sh** Apart") can see explosive potential in possible combinations of toothpaste, perfume and hair goo when there are invariably dozens of soda cans onboard the plane and Mentos are readily available in every airport gift shops. Don't they KNOW? We admit that we take no small measure of passive-aggressive delight in carrying Mentos right onto a soda-laden airliner. It's one little way us lefties can feel like we're really Sticking It To The Man.

Perhaps we spend too much time in airports altogther, and that this contributes to the apparent Great Strangeness out there. Perhaps it starts with having read too many perfect-for-long-airplane-trip novels written by Dan Brown. Perhaps you really should expect everything else to seem strange when the inadvertent psychological cocktail of DaVinci Code, Fried Items and glassy-eyed road fatigue make you start believing you can read secret messages in the bug splatters on the windshield of your rented vehicle. Fair enough. We've all done that, right? But should it seem odd that the model name of that motor vehicle is "Contour?" What kind of name for a car is that? Doesn't that sound more like a novelty item one might find in a truck stop men's room? ("Probe" falls into the same category, and the three older Waybacks eschew that particular rental car absolutely whenever possible.) And speaking of truck-stops, is it really really odd that truck stop gift shops, of all places, should always be packed to the rafters with creepy half-lifesize bride dolls in full regalia? That ain't right. Good heavens, haven't we all seen that Karen Black And The Zuni Warrior Doll movie-of-the-week from the mid-70s? Don't we know by now that nothing good comes from having small faux-humanoids lying about? Too, the linkage between truck stops and creepy dolls eludes us altogether. And we're grateful for that. But did something happen to the country that we somehow missed this last 5 years we've been on the road? Or do we just need a nap?

Uhhhhh .... 5 years ... airports ... truckstops .... where were we?

Oh yes! The last 5 years have certainly seen a disturbing trend toward over-automation in airport and restroom washroom design, we can tell you. We're certain that the newfangled infrared-operated devices have reduced the chances of catching many exotic jungle diseases, but folks, when the electric eye don't work, homie don't get no water or towels. On more than one occasion we have found ourselves waving frantically at faucets, hand dryers and paper-towel dispensers like the robot on Lost In Space. It is most undignified.

Lost In Space .... uhhhhh ...... zzzzzzzzz ....

Right! Navigation! Navigation is always on our minds. Getting from Noontime Squat-And-Gobble to Venue Du Jour to Midnight Mini-Mart to Inevitable X-Files-Lookin' Motel in a timely fashion is always of great concern to touring bands like us, and friends, we have seen the intrusion of Strangeness there, too. We finally got fed up with MapQuest and Yahoo (aptly named) giving us funky directions, and all too often ending us up in M. Night Shyamalan-ville, so we got ourselves one of them fancy GPS units. This one talks. Oh, lots of them talk, sure ... road pal David Gans (see photo at bottom of home page) tells us that whenever he ignores the prescribed route his GPS groans rather peevishly, "Oh, all right ... ... recalculating ... " Well, peevish is one thing. But we think that consumers have a right to know when they are buying the Tourettes-enabled model. We Waybacks found out too late. We'll spare you the details.

But this summer hasn't been all strange. We've had tons of wonderful gigs and have met many, many wonderful people. One feller we didn't actually meet, but who nonetheless sticks in the collective memory was the somewhat over-served young festivarian who staggered up to our merchandise table after a show and was crestfallen to discover we couldn't sell him a Coors. "You're all out of beer? WHAT KIND OF FESTIVAL IS THIS?!?" Somehow we found this delightfully normal and reassuring. We miss that guy.

Stay awake, now. Here's the gigs:

Jay Lane interview part 3!

Mazzy's pictures from the stroll are up on Dot Org!

for the supplements & bonus features!

New to me blog with GD contentIsle of everywhere

And the first set of pix from yesterday is on Soup
-in the comments by Drummer Girl.

Hippy Berthaday OxfordRobintourgirl!

Hope it was a wonderful day!
We celebrated for you by dancing to the music of Alphabet Soup which included Kenny, Jeff & Jay.
You'd have loved the festive atmosphere. The Solano Stroll is a very big street fair . Which is located where the city of Albany meets Berkeley. All along Solano there were boothes and pockets of musicians.
We had no idea where the Soup was going to be playing. We just chose a direction and flowed a few blocks downhill.
My cell phone rang and I answered to hear the sound of one of the Band of Brothers' rap, (Band of Brothers are the rest of ABC Soup that arent also in Ratdog).
One half block later, there we were- arrived ! Had fun bopping to the music- despite being directly under the hot sun, the guys were great!
Kemmie & Dave took pictures- so you will soon see how fun it was!



..
and another blogger describes Bob Weir Day

Bobby sit in with Jelly 9/08/06, Larkspur

Goes to show, you don't ever know


Now, I know I had placed myself under restriction from running off to venues where rumoured Bobby appearances
are supposed to take place...but after a long week setting up my classroom and going to meetings about administrivia, programming, security and curriculum, I was happy just to hear live music. So, this once, after hearing a rumour from a most reliable source, I got in touch with the Kemmiestar. Before I knew it, we were roaring across the Golden Gate Bridge on our way to Larkspur (fantastic little town). A turn here, a turn there and voila the Larkspur cafe theater (or is it the theater cafe?).
We paid the ticket and stumbled into the theater and there he was Senor Bobby on stage with a Marin band called "Jelly", finishing up Chinacat Sunflower!!
Larkspur theater is really tiny. A spirited audience was already bopping along (some dancing on chairs!) to the beginning of a rousing I Know You Rider. We saw Mazzy and stood by him- he had his big camera and so there will photos. After that Bobby stuck around for a rockin Deal. Then faster than you can say "Woof" he was out of there. It was only a few songs but it made us soooo happy to hear & see him play. Those guys in Jelly were sounding pretty good too. You can listen to them clicky here
What a treat!
I'll be smiling all weekend after that.

Hey! Dave Ellis at Jupiter tonight!



Patience....more on the way!

NICE! Jay Lane Interview PT 2


From Leah's column (we can always count on Leah):

"P.S.: Bob Weir and RatDog played at Bob Pritikin's Labor Day shindig. Noting that brownies served had come from a Grateful Dead recipe, Ronnie Schell said, "Rock Med is in the parking lot.'' (On that note, the Libertarian Party's primary candidate for lieutenant governor is Lynnette Shaw, founder of the Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, and also the Marijuana Peace and Hemp candidate. She has been endorsed by Willie Nelson.) "




Musical talents apparently DO get passed along asa family trait!. Check it out!

Nice tribute to GD @ The Walrus speaks

Found a new blog belonging to a - music lover in London

Woofing!
Just watched JamCam's Jerry's Birthday Bash DVD!
Lot more professionally done than I expected!
A thrill to go back a year and see some highlights from that weekend!
The Codetalkers were as awesome as I remembered.
Last year, I missed Scott during the SOTM .
It was lovely to be able to watch it with him.
The sound on the dvd is great!
Some of the cams panning out to the audience is dizzying but we froze the screen a few times and I was able
to find myself and friends to show Scott.
We enjoyed the interview sequences also very much.

Part 1 of an interview with Jay Lane is up on Ratdog.dot org!!!
