Back from another High Sierra Music Festival What a wonderful time was had by all! Good music and great friends make for a good time!

That was a great two nights of Rush. Alex shredded, Geddy slapped that bass, and Annika threw down thunder!

For those that are interested.... Annika Niles threw down thunder on opening night!

This will be my 5th RUSH show But not since 2004 Opening night of their 50 Something tour Should be a great night!

Grabbing a south bound train this morning On way to RUSH’s opening night of their 50th anniversary tour

Ok fellow Californian's, It's time to use the drop box or show up in person Make your voice heard! VOTE!

Many thanks to Bob Dylan for being one of my life's "Presets". I suspect that the grandchildren of my grandchildren will be spinning these albums in the future. My best set list from a Bob show was 06/11/86, in Reno for his True Confessions tour with Tom Petty. Happy Birthday and Thank You Bob Dylan

I've been wondering what to do when he actually exits, but thanks to Shephen Colbert, I now know that, in best Howard Beale imitation, I will be stepping to the door and doing my best Sasquatch Call. Thanks again Stephen!

Hard to imagine that this film was released 42 years ago!

Love me some good live music. And since the world has survived for another day, I'm treating myself to another show! Just got some Johnnie Blue Sky tickets! Here is a picture from the Sturgill Simpson days.

Scored BMFS tickets to Oakland this morning. Update: I Still hate Ticketmaster!

Ice being deployed to the airports seems akin to the water releases for the Los Angeles fires..... See everyone Saturday

The Struggle continues...... As Dr William Barber says, We have to be as vigilant as the injustices. This seems appropriate today. Joan has added new words. youtu.be/UDBNYt3wdQc

Tribute to Taj at the Masonic tonight

Hard to imagine doing what he does at 80.

What a beautiful venue and show, Van Morrison still has it! Bringing Elvin Bishop out for a few songs was a treat.

This should be good…. Van Morrison at Palace of Fine Arts

Bob would have enjoyed this tribute. So good to be with the tribe at this time.

I've always considered this my "Bus Pass". I take a small amount of solice, in the fact that I got to see Bob so many times, and I will always be grateful to to have seen the GD 60th's in Golden Gate Park, and the applause of a lifetime for Bob and Mickey at the end of night three. Fare The Well!

To be clear....... War is not Peace. I do not endorse nor support this nonsensical stupidity! I post this on the 3rd day of a new year, knowing it will be a relevant statement each and every day for the next 3 years.

Review of Newspeak creep from last year: It has been, and will always be: The Gulf of Mexico The Department of Defense The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Thank you for your attention to this matter

If you've got this one in your collection........Lucky you! Just a reminder to break it out every now and again. To me this is some of his best solo work, and even if not, it just hits right sometimes.

FYI: For all the Billy Strings fans, (and ones about to become fans)The Tiny Desk Concert just dropped his session today. These are photos from the High Sierra Music Festival in 2017. Note, first pick has no one up front, and the second is from his Doc Watson Workshop.

My Black Friday wish... Looking forward to the day the WWEification of our government comes to a stop. It's not useful, productive or entertaining. It's just embarrassing.

Happy Birthday to Neil Young!, This man's songs have been the background for many of my (and others) life's adventures. Here he is at 78 years old, doing one of my favorite cover's he does. Thank You Sir! Long May You Run! !https://youtu.be/9k-49rjue9o
