Trucking up to Buffalo:)

Above is a picture that is painted on the wall at Root Middle School.

Mrs. Werger, the art teacher painted this.....and it is of my favorite musician....Jerry Garcia.... Speaking of Jerry, Mark and I are trucking up to Buffalo in April to see the Grateful Dead (The Dead ...Now).....I am very excited for this.

I hope you enjoy the quote below....it was on my Starbucks cup and I loved it.

Have a great day!!!
Namaste,

Michele

The way we get to live forever is
through memories stored in the
hearts and souls of those whose
lives we touch. That’s our soul
print. It’s our comfort, our
emotional nourishment at the end
of the day and the end of a life.
How wonderful that they are called
up at will and savored randomly.
It seems to me we should spend our
lives in a conscious state of
creating these meaningful moments
that live on. Memories matter.

- Leeza Gibbons

Bobby is coming to see me at Penn State!!!

We got tickets!!!

what a long strange trip its been!!!

This picture is above my bed....says a quote from the song
Truckin.

" sometimes the lights all shining on me
.....other times I can barely see...
Lately it occurs to me..... what a long, strange trip its been."
hope you enjoy the words below. love, Michele


It is raining still...
Maybe it is not one of those showers that is here one minute
and gone the next, as I had so boldly assumed.
Maybe none of them are.
After all, life in itself is a chain of rainy days.
But there are times when not all of us have umbrellas to walk under.
Those are the times when we need people
who are willing to lend their umbrellas to a wet stranger on a rainy day.
I think I'll go for a walk with my umbrella.
--Sun-Young Park

Dancing through the storm

eyes of the world

"Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own."
from " Eyes of the World" by the Grateful Dead

The Ripple

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You who would lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

----Jerry Garcia / Robert Hunter

JiMiller Band

My friend Jim Miller just asked me to help him out and post the below note about the "all grateful dead night" show he is doing on April 7th.

Jim is a very warm and authentic person that I connected with instantly. He is such an awesome musician!!!! Mark and I try to go hear him play several times a year. He has a new cd out called "In Trance It" (we heard some songs off of it in February in Kent, and it was GREAT.) http://www.jimiller.com/buycd.asp

Is this Bobby Weir?

Is this Bobby????
No....but it looks like him!!!! Rob Eaton could pass for him anyday...in looks and sound!!
We are going to go see Dark Star Orchestra tonight.
They recreate dead shows. I will post the setlist tomorrow.......

check at the bottom of this post....the setlist is there.....What an awesome show!!!!!!!!!!!!.

RE: Dark Star Orchestra
There are a lot of cover bands around and a lot of those are Grateful Dead cover bands. You've seen them, they're good. Most include the music of Jerry Garcia, Bobby Weir et al with other cover songs and some originals mixed in. DSO is a different breed of "Dead" band. What Dark Star Orchestra does is recreate the Grateful Dead. Not with hippie wigs and fake beards but through the live music. They play the setlist song for song in the same arrangements used by the Dead members of that period. When you're at a DSO show you may really be in the Providence Civic Center back in May of '81. Or you could even be at the 1973 Denver Coliseum show listening to Weather Report Suite. Who knows?

Actually no one does and that's part of the trip. The date of the show to be recreated is kept secret right up till the performance. Oh, there are clues (the number and placement of microphones, the keyboard setup, a midi guitar) and the secret becomes part of a game. Usually the audience in front starts throwing out guesses toward the end of the first set. The wiser observer waits for the start of the second set to venture a showdate. Sometimes a curious look comes over the faces of the audience as they realize, "Hey! I was at this show!" followed by a smile as they realize...they're at the show again! Remember: This is an exhibition, not a competition. So please....no wagering! The original showdate, for those who are DEADBASE-impaired, is announced at the end of the night usually followed by an extended encore of the band's choosing.

Even the press has caught on to what they're trying to do. Rolling Stone did a feature piece on the band in its June 20th, 2002 issue and USA Today says DSO is "channeling the Dead." Relix Magazine also did an in-depth feature article on the band in their Spring 2000 issue (Vol. 27 No. 2) and the Washington Post declared them "the hottest Grateful Dead tribute act going" but what they do is not just a tribute to the Grateful Dead but a testament to the enormous number of unique setlists they performed in their long career. Dark Star Orchestra takes the framework of the original setlists and sees where it can take them.
