Hi folks:

As usual, I will be up at Hampton Beach NH, like I am every year
on this my birthday. As usual, My fat ass will be wearing the
'Reeves' amplification T-Shirt. I turn 53 at 2:52AM Sat.

Please set your alarm clocks..EST..Sat Morn.. :)

Fuz 'da Bun will be there, after he hosts 'Fritzmania' in
NJ. Those who know (and or care) we share the same B/Day.

Last year, 3 ASF readers met us both, and with luck, they
may be there. Alas, M'Lady is working in London. I almost
wish I was there instead, but Hampton Beach is a decades old
thing with Fuz n I. Not the same in oh, too many ways.

As we always do, we offer Gordon the chance to meet us, if
he can fly (opps, he's afraid) or take the train (wait, he
said he hates them) or go via Bus (wait, he said he scorns them).

Maybe he can walk..or hitchhike. I wish he would show up.

After all, it's been over a decade of offers.

..I guess fear does that to people such as grp-ie.

But hey, those around the area, stop and say hello.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all..

I saw Little Feat and also Ratdog at the Hampton Beach Casino. (Not a
casino at all, just a great bar room). Had a great time there.
Wonderful venue.

And Happy Birthday, JJT!

Happy Birthday!

1st off, thank you all for your kind wishes. Jon and I
go there every year, sit on the beach, bring a couple of
acoustic guitars on the stage and 'boogie' till the cops arrive.

..we also did that at Red Rocks, CO, but the police just watched.

While Jon will be there late in the day, due to the 'FritzMania'
thing in NJ, if there is anyone in the area, stop by. *AND*

Parker, if you show up, I will hand you a DVD with the 'Drink Video'
on it, along with other PI footage of you. Here's your chance.

But, while I know how you look, you need to bring ID.

But, the main thing is, Gordon, come up here and have some fun.

I think it was 1996. I'd have to look it up to be sure, but it was
within the 95-97 range for sure. The show was great, I had seen them
twice before a few years before that and also great. Unfortunately
the Lowell George years only lived for me on tape.

Then I saw them like 5 years ago in a small little joint in West Palm
Beach and it wasn't even worth the drive up there. It was like they
reinvented themselves. Well, thank goodness for the tapes!

OH MAN, I saw LF with George and he is an un-sung hero.

ANYBODY who could play with Zappa in the OLD MOI days,
and UPSTAGE FZ, shows pure talent. JCB told him he should
call the band 'Little Feat' because LG *HAD 'little feet'.

A shame. So many good talents die far too young. Some by
drink, others drugs, and too many by stupid actions.

Then, of late, too many die old.

Issac Hayes, Jerry Wexler, B. Mac...

Paul Newman is very ill. "Killer" Kowalski was said to be near
death, but some say no. Ole Anderson is still alive, thank God.

What is my point?

There will come a time, far too soon, where *ICONS* of our lives
will be gone, and all we will have is memories. Learn now, or cry.

Too many folks are gone. Too many waiting for the Angels to come.

Go hug ya loved ones, and be happy for today.

There was no bigger an ICON (for me) than Garcia, and still to this
day I feel as if I lost a family member. When Garcia died, my life
radically changed. Maybe not that radically, but there was a huge
effect.

Wut he said!

Peace out!

Met the man at Watkins Glen, we talked guitars and amps
for about 90 mins. Such a peaceful guy, nothing seemed
to bother him, and knew his shit big time. I was never
a GD 'head', but one just could not deny the talent.

It is said, in the last days, he was not so 'peaceful
and had his own demons to deal with, but then again,
don't we all..? Here's a link if ya got $600k:

I've held this guitar, and the seller is a man of PURE class. What
he says it is, it is. FEW (!!!) in the hi-tech guitar biz are so honest.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy it...
