The “official” unveiling of the WOS.   The boys played until early morning and then we all got oranges and croissants for breakfast.  On the way out, everyone received a mini LP, two songs on each side from various upcoming Dead family albums.  All for $4.00!!!!   To quote Archie and Edith Bunker, those were the days!

Bill, tgo

I have no earthly idea what this song is about - I didn't when it came out back in the late-80's either, but I liked it then too. (I liked the whole album, and wore the cassette tape out!) Something within' the lyric seems to fit today's narrative though, and it's been in my head all afternoon.

See, I could never remember words, anyway.  Even as a singer in the band.  But, that's a beauty!

Blow, wind blow... blow away these troubled times...

Some friends of mine turned this tune loose back in the mid-90's. There was trouble then too... always is. We're going to be fine. Take care of the people around you. Keep playing music.

This guy.  I don’t know who he is, but boy can he play!

Bill, tgo

He can pick a little, can't he?
Interesting hybrid gitbox, as well.

Thanks, indeed; now I know what to put in my next YT search!

My buddy Hershel would say; "that boy's got rhythm all over him!"


(I need to go check in on Hershel... it's been a while. Too long)

Got a news flash from Mick Fleetwood's mail server a minute ago... he's apparently been keeping hisself busy with some artistry. I was naturally a little bit disappointed John McVie's bass part wasn't used in his remake of "These Strange Times" but upon listening to both tracks, I could hear why the original 1995 takes probably wouldn't overlay. But c'mon Mick... I know you've got Mac in the Contacts somewhere! It was nice to see him bring back Bekka Bramlett (who was in Fleetwood Mac for a time in the 90's) and Ricky Vito can bend strings with the best of them. Anyway... These Strange Times, indeed, 1995 and 2020.
