Back in the loop

Well it has been an exciting fall.The end of the fall tour lived up to my expectations except not getting an "other one", but beggars can't be choosers. Well most of the time. My favorite moments sort of revolve around this statement.I will elaborate on this topic for a minute or two.Jen and I were headed to St.Pete right after the HOB Orlando show and I slipped in a lovely show from 89. The band bursts into Memphis Blues and I made a little woohoo and turned it up. It was a rocking version as so many of them were with the Dead especially during the "fast" paced 80's and it continued the feel good feeling we had going after the show. Jen was bouncing in her seat and singing along(which she never does...singing that is) and Bobby was going off with his "OHHH MAMA". I have to say that this will be one of my most cherished memories of any tour, but it gets better. The next day with Mobile still rolling around in her head Jen posted a simple little note on the dot org that went something like this... "I Want..." then inside it said "to hear Memphis Blues tonight" several comments were made but nothing really important. Later that evening during the second set I was dancing to a very nice Masters of War and as it was ending I couldn't believe what I heard....it sounded like the opening notes to Memphis. One more bar and I smiled and turned to Jen and said.."there you go..."she looked at me and said "what???" then she realized what was happening and smiled also and shook her head in disbelief and realization. Coincidence??? who knows but it was one of those moments when all you can do is smile smile smile. I was very happy for her. Thanks Bob
. Someone posted the first leg of the spring tour last night and it looks good. I would love to be able to go to the North West for cheap or to Vegas but right now flights look pretty damn expensive for Febuary 9th thru 17th. Just have to wait and see but I know a show in Vancouver,BC would rock the pants off any Beacon show...at least for me that is. Can't wait for someone to let the springs second leg slip so I can really make some plans. Sorry if I have been slack in updating this blog.Sometimes you get busy in so many other things that well you know the rest. And a special thanks to a special lady for posting a link to this blog on hers.Thank you Irenie!
Be NICE to others everywhere everyone.This is as much directed to me to as anyone else, because sometimes taking your own advice is the best thing you can do.
