Between being the drummer for the song Aja (imagine getting to hear the rest of the track as it fades out?!?) and being the live drummer for Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park, this guy is one of the best session drummers of all time. 🐐

IMO the last great show, start to finish. What an amazing night in Oakland.

some of us are old enough to remember living off the .59 cent menu

I lived there for about 9 months 30 years ago (before moving back to Santa Cruz proper), but I have a long history with the venue. Back when it was Don Q's, we produced a weekly DJ event there for around a year ('97/'98) before moving it up the road to Brookdale Lodge.
SLV life.

Also the album we listened to non-stop (and what really turned me on to them) open.spotify.com/album/6H5fUQ...

last time I saw JRAD in Oakland, Dave and I reminisced about how great this show was (RIP Palookaville)

Or maybe Reuben & Cherise at that same Cap Center run?

this baby silver back that I met a few years ago normally cheers me up

sorry to hear that - currently nursing a broken foot (rolled it walking to see the Roots at UCSC 10 days ago)

I started on a small dev team that has grown into an org (5X the amount of devs). We might contract back down to 1/5 of our current devs, all vibe coding. I doubt it'll end up like this, but it is one likely scenario.
