BRICKSHAKE #7

Grateful Dead 8/1/94 The Palace at Auburn Hills MI
LIBERTY

August 1, 1994 was Jerry Garcia's 52nd birthday. I have a vague recollection of a playing card-themed backstage pass or maybe some other party favor...

"Brickshake #7" is a piece of digital audio art that sort of shuffles the Grateful Dead's studio recording of "Shakedown Street" (from the album of the same name) and Pink Floyd's "Just Another Brick in the Wall" together like a deck of cards. I've done other pieces along these lines, including one that combines seven or eight different artists' performances of "Hard to Handle." I call the art form "Mutilaudio," and you can hear more examples at http://www.dgans.com/mutilaudio/ .

You can browse and/or search the Grateful Dead Hour program logs on the show's home page, gdhour.com. Let us know if there's a particular show you'd like to hear, and feel free to post requests and comments here or by email to gdhour [at] dead.net

Thanks for listening!

the golden road to unlimited blueberries

Greetings all,
My suggestion for planting northern highbush blueberries in the bay area would be wait till October when the plants are dormant.
Prepare the planting area by digging out a 2’wide X 1’ deep hole my best advice is to plant the bare root bush with a 50% mix of your native soil mixed with 50% Peat moss (found at any organic supply shop or home store) pine needles or rotting sawdust also work in a pinch (all varieties of Blueberry plants are acid loving)
During the first year as the plants become established it will be important to not let them dry out during the dry months so provide ample water.
Each spring leaves come, followed by flowers, followed by berries; sun, and water during this time is important for berry production (so water at least weekly).
The best spot to plant your berries is an area that gets lots of morning sunshine and perhaps a little relief from that late afternoon, early evening high heat.
Blueberry plants have small root zones, enjoy good drainage and don’t like to be crowded by other plants.
All of my northern highbush cultivars are self pollinating but much prefer to be cross pollinated by at least one other variety.
The bay area’s biggest challenge is winter chilling hours (these are hours where temps are below 45 degrees) needed for berry production.
I typically suggest plants with lower chilling hour requirements for best results and yields.
If you have blueberry plants already and they are not producing well (I suggest putting them “on the bus” and providing them with more Acid in their soil (peat , pine needles, sawdust) and always remember to stay away from the “Brown Acid”.
Additionally there is no need to chemically fertilize or spray your plants with chemical pesticides ever.
Pass here and go, you are on the road to “blueberry heaven“.
Smile, Smile, Smile,

Blueberries

My wife is the farmer in the family. This year we've got several varieties of tomatoes, plus the usual herbs, figs, and two lemon trees that are never without ripe fruit for her cooking needs.

I'll ask her if she thinks blueberries would work here in Oakland. We eat tons of 'em here, fresh when they're in season and frozen the rest of the time.
