“I’m just happy to be here, happy to be alive.” - Charlie T. Wilbury Jr.
So, there’s a fella who’s uploading a ton of solo Jerry Garcia to Live Music Archive. Is there an app that connects to and sorts recordings from LMA that has solo Jerry? I tend to use Relisten for LMA stuff and it’s not there. I sent email to Relisten folks asking them to add Jerry. Suggestions?

First snow of the season. It’s not going to add up to much.

This is an example of why it’s important to employ proper punctuation

As long as we’re all out here just inventing awards, the 2025 VT Dead Peace Prize goes to Sean Dunn.

22 parent-teacher conferences in a row without a moment’s break. There has to be a different way.

5:30 feeling like 9:30.

Dusting off this quote again after watching tonight’s news:

“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” - Clarence Darrow

I’m a liberal, but I live in a rural area. For home defense, I employ a six-foot sub with spicy mustard and jalapeños.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Hot or radioactive?

Trying to think of my favorite Donna performance, and I’m not sure if this is it, but it’s pretty close.

I’m thrilled to change the clocks this morning. I’m used to getting up while it’s dark, but this past week of sunrise around 7:30 was definitely affecting me. Even knowing the origin was physiological, I felt the effect emotionally. Walking out the door with light at 6:30 put me in a good mood.

Listening to Europe ‘72, and thinking about how China>Rider taught me the idea that music could start one way and end a different way.

This afternoon, I went to my bank to sign papers for a loan. My loan officer was dressed as a witch. “I’m not usually dressed like this,” she told me.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

31 years ago, I saw Phish play the White Album. These days, we take for granted the album-cover set, but in that moment it was a bit of a big deal.
A year later, I’d be in Chicago for Quadrophenia. The year after that, I was seeing moe.

Listening to 10/30/68, originally billed as Jerry Garcia and Friends and later known as Mickey and the Hartbeats. I’ve listened to this show many times and it took until this morning to think about how wild it is that they played an Other One and a Lovelight without Bobby or Pigpen.

I’m having a legit Mandela Moment. I recall moe. playing an extra-long show Fall 1998 because of the clock change, and I swear I’ve listened to it, but the recording is not Internet Archive and there’s no record on PhantasyTour. 10/26/98. Did I imagine it?

So, that bearded dude killed it tonight on Jeopardy. But, I’m watching Wheel of Fortune, and I think the challenge of the show is that they won’t show the puzzle and the wheel at the same time.

31 years ago, I saw an interesting show that included the final Midnight Hour and the only Rainy Day Woman, with Dylan as a guest. I don’t listen to a lot of ‘94, by which I mean pretty much never, but this seems like a good way to start the day.

Is this a monument for ants?

On Wednesday, the president showcased models for a grand new monument to be added to the gateway of the National Mall: a large, neoclassical arch topped with eagles and a gilded, winged figure.

If this was my coffee table I’d be tripping over it like Dick Van Dyke.

25 years ago, Martin Fierro joined moe. for most of the show. Also joining the band was Victor Krummenacher of Camper Van Beethoven. I was right up against the stage the whole time and it was an odd show to watch.
