The good, the bad, and the ponderous.  Though I do like it.

And following along on that theme, this morning's bonus-baby Foghead is also a Deadhead. He passed on a couple of Neil tunes and went with Ripple.

oh well, it's another proxy of geoff.

thanks for thinking of me.  I was showing my students Hendrix's Third Stone From The Sun, and playing it back at double speed.  Definitely educational!

Sorry, but WOS from me (though the description is apt!).  BOS to "Kentucky Rain," which I just bought off iTunes last month.  If I ever see that at a karaoke bar, I'm taking a bite.

I heard the last few tunes this morning on the replay.  Now y'all know I'm a fool for Fleetwood Mac, but I still think that last part of Oh Well is particularly poignant.  Perhaps I'm reading all the angst Peter Green was going through at the time into it, but it has such a timeless feel.  The acoustic guitar, cello, electric bass, drums, and flute (I don't really know what instrument it is) provide a sort of meditative tension and release.  I was really getting into it, and at the end, just before the buzzer, Dave said "whew!"  I wonder if anyone knows the story of how that track came together; it would be an interesting read.
