Just finished the book yesterday. Very fun.

and to bring the thread back, I got a NOS Nikon SB 105 strobe to use with my old Nikonos V underwater camera. I'm planning to try it out tomorrow.

Jon:

You're doing some underwater photography tomorrow? In Kansas?

Whodathunkit!

Bill, tgo

Bill, right now I'm in Runaway Bay, Jamaica for New Years Day (and my wife's birthday). The Parlimentary election was yesterday with a huge PNP majority, so lots of jubilation going on today for one side.

But sometimes we also dive in Kansas...

Bill,

Do you know what they call the person who graduates last in their medical school class?

The defendant!

Jonathan:

I'd heard it was doctor! A healthy and prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Sparechaynge:

A great read - you're gonna love it. Lesh is one intelligent and insightful dude.

Bill, tgo

And here I was thinking the answer was drummer!

I haven't been able to put it down! I know Phil is very smart and very funny, but I had no idea just how much he knows about music, history and everything. Now I have a lot more to talk about next time I meet him.

Phil's book is a wonderful read, and his take on the Dead's history, as it unfolded around him and as he contributed to it, is a gift to all who read it.

Just yesterday I was thinking about maybe giving it a 4th read (Dead-obessed? Me? Naw, couldn't be!).

I have been very fortunate. I am awaiting the delivery of a Thunderfunk TFB-800B2 and a Barefaced Big Twin T.

I bought myself a box set collection of 9 Stanley Kubrick films - Very COOOOL! (and weird)

OK, I suppose I should update: another A- (International Legal Order) and a full on A (Energy Justice). Having squeaked by with Bs and Cs for the last two years, it's quite a surprise! However, having had my grades go up every semester so far, it means that my impending last semester is going to be pretty tough if I want to keep up the trend.

In the meantime, perhaps it's time to give Searching for the Sound a reread before the mayhem hits. My band is covering Europe '72 on the 28th, so it would be good to get some more vibe to sink in.

I highly suggest getting the CD Audio Book version of Searching for the Sound with Phil telling the story himself ! Awesome ! I have recently been rehearsing with some folks on some EARLY Dead .
We are working on Cream Puff War to Viola Lee Blues to New, New Minglewood Blues , visceral felling stuff and others as well , like the first Album to late 60's but with our own Mojo and Fire . Dark Star must be performed as well ! Lots of fun _______!!! LOL _ _ _ _ _ _ _
