My job for T-Day is simple : Go to the farm and pick up the bird.
Dad just told me not to F@!!#@K that up.
The best holiday ever!

You guys should dress up like Pilgrims when you play.
Or Indians.

I'm thinking that my accomplice and myself should be indians and Bouks band pilgrims. Why us Indians? We'll be there FIRST!

I'm gigging this week-end as well....

I'mlocking myself in the music room while the family gathers and discusses whatthey are thankful for... I'll be practicing what I'm thankful for...

Good luck N.,
PEACE,
Phil

Yo Strum-
Do I smell a "Sunrise"?
Huh Huh?
Those live 77 versions(are there any others)always end with that tom tom faux Indian beat and when she sings "and cuts it with a Feather." you could get all dramatic and pull the feather from your headband and pass it to the drunks at the bar.
Rock and roll my man.

Not this time. Unless a certain singer out!
I nailed that song in rehearsal last weekend.
Shocked the shit outta everyone too!
Played it right against the recording!

Our singers voice was so beautiful with the song.
She captured the Donna moods that transition in the song:
semi-timid > matter of fact > confident > proclamation > relaxed

you gotta post it sometime

Thanksgiving is nice... but man ain't nobody gonna convince me that there is a better day of the year (official holiday or no) than the summer solstice.

Eh,what do you eat on the solstice ?
Weed?
Unless you are running around with a bunch of naked virgins-I ask you-what could be better than TurkeyDay?
Ps. Right now I'm listening to The Alaska Solstice '80 show.Wailing stuff.

Ohh yeah!!! I love the turkeyday. Also one of my favorite days of the year for a couple of reasons

1. I love that comfort food.

2. Fall is my favorite season (football-leaves changing in the nearby woods)

3. When I was a wee-lad I was chased in the woods by my house by a pack of wild turkeys. Scared me shitless. So It's my personal mission in life to eat as much turkey as I can!!!! (I wished I would have been chased by a 12 pack of beer as a boy!)

4. Nothing better than the lions or dallas games on tv. It's the only time of the year when the lions are intresting. Also love that turkey and barley knocking me out at about half time and then waking up every year with 2 minutes left on the clock! I don't think I've seen the 3rd quarter of the afternoon thanksgiving game in years.
