It was great to meet up with Mr Prophet and his pal Dave for an hour or so's GD chinwagging.
Next time Sunday December 4 from 4pm at ??????
Hey Prophet, seeing as we're both westies, what do you say we make it the Commercial in Yarraville? Heck, they might even lettuce spin a few discs.
That's providing, of course, I don't cater at my joint. Ya never know. Stay tuned!
Pearls Before Swine - the lot
GD - Cow Palace, Winterland June 8, 1977. Thanks Tony!
Joy Of Cooking - Back To Your Heart
Andy Pratt - Andy Pratt
Ben Webster/Gerry Mulligan - Complete
In The Car - Fillmore box, disc 4. Yowza!
I'll be there from 4pm for about an hour or so. I know one other person, a PBS listener who emailed me during the week after she heard a '72 Dark Star on The Pearls, who sez she'll coming along, so it looks like we got us a gathering.
And I also yesterday told another pal - a fellow journo who saw the band some time around 1967, just after they stopped being the Warlocks - about our get together, and he's pissed he can't make it. But will, I'm sure, make it for future events.
This is a guy who styles himself as a completist, but has confessed to having placed all the discs from one of the, er, less impressive Dick's Picks in his multi-disc player, pressing play and the going out for a day's gardening. This allowed him to at least claim: "At least it's all been played at least once!"
Hey now....
My friend Dave and I will be at the Town Hall North Mel at 4 pm for our first meeting...I trust mr Kenny W will be there as well. I hope others can make it too, but if not, that's ok, we'll make it a regular event.
all best and hopefully see you sunday!!

Hi All,
It's great to find other Deadheads in Oz! I saw my first show at Madison Square Garden in 1979/80 can't excatly remember and my last show in 1987 before leaving the states. Been in Brisbane/Gold Coast/Tweed since 1995.
The best link I have found so far for replacing the old tapes with digital is:

Enjoy
Cup Weekend and the GLW's birthday! I probably won't be in town and am unlikely to get a leave pass in any case being the GLW's birthday and all. I'll have to take a rain-check on this one.
... I'm over the whole GD thing and that I'll go postal if I hear another version of Suger Magnolia, I pick up From The Vault Three from Greville Records last week and order Dick's Picks No,29 a few days later - that's the six-disc epic of 1977 shows. Yummy!
Also accompanying my (so called) work day today are:
Black Sun Ensemble - Bolt Of Apollo
Kiefer And Pitcher - To All Dead Sailors
Tibby Edwards - Plat It Cool, Man, Play It cool
Who's coming - Town Hall Hotel, North Melbourne, 4pm, Sunday, November 4. Maybe I'll have my new "Grateful Dad" T-shirt I ordered last week. And I'll be packing my frisbee.
Sounds fine to me.

Make that Sunday December 2
