Yes, true, but without Clapton, they're not the same band, especially without the Blues influences. Without a doubt.

One of my all time favorites.

I just don’t see that. Why do you think so?

RIP. An essential member of the Dead. The following was posted by David Lemieux on Dead.net (of Dave’s Picks): Fare you well, Mr. Hunter. We love you more than words can tell... For a man who provided us with so many meaningful words, the soundtrack to our lives, he's left us a bit speechless with his passing. For more than 50 years, since his first lyrical contributions to the Grateful Dead in 1967, Robert Hunter has been just as integral a part of the legacy of the Grateful Dead as those who recorded the music to accompany his words, those who walked out on stage to bring his words to life. More than 2,000 times 1967-1995, these six (or five or seven) proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow, plus countless thousands of times since then by other performers, the Grateful Dead have brought Hunter's words to life in front of all of us as their witness. Not a single day has gone by since 1984 that Hunter's words haven't been a part of my world; I've heard Jerry, Bob and others sing his words literally every day for the past 35 years. When the final Fare Thee Well show ended in Chicago in 2015, Mickey Hart famously sent us on our way by asking us to "please, be kind," and that lesson along with its lyrical brethren written by Hunter, "ain't no time to hate," and "are you kind?" are some of the truest words to live by. No matter what meaning, solace, lesson you find in Hunter's lyrics, please go out and do some good with them. David Lemieux

Based on what's going over there -- although I don't keep up on all the posts -- I can't see purchasing any of these. Too many problems it seems.

Like “Reefer Madness”.

Someone who doesn’t like Trane. Some show on PBS. https://en.m.wikipeda.org/wiki/List_of_Arthur_characters#Binky_Barnes

Exactly.

My son has an Android and I’ve never really cared for its OS or the way it’s organized. I’ve always had iPhones so that could be a reason. It’s like two different languages.

Working on this. I know it’s a classic but I’m finding slow going so far. I picked this up last week, a history of Latin America told via a few lives about the economy (silver), violence (sword) and religion (stone).

I think there are some players who just don’t care for the spotlight, the bright lights. He may be one of them. This year there are no expectations in Cincinnati. However, next year may be different.

Are they all recommended?

That is correct. You can post the link and a few introductory sentences but not the whole thing.

You might find this useful: IPhone 11 and 11 Pro Review: Thinking Differently in the Golden Age of Smartphones The prices on the 7s or 8s may be a little cheaper and do about as much as the 11s. At any rate, you need to upgrade because the operating system on the 5s may be too old to run certain apps and IOS updates.

That is just awful. Years ago I saw him and Eric Alexander play and got to meet him. Very upsetting. Thank you Mr. Mabern for everything.

Over at Hoffman Forum, there seem to be the same discussions we had over his Jazz show.

Oops. Looking at the wrong date. Maybe Hank will come out for my birthday in October but probably not.

That’s in March. Hmmm.

For some reason I don't remember it. Just now.

This is indeed a super session with Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper on side 1 and Kooper and Stephen Stills on side 2. Side 1 is mostly blues based. On side 2 they do a bang up job on Donovan's Season of the Witch.

I can't say I'm intimately familiar with all their music but they had some great songs and the one that creeped into the public consciousness and one probably everybody knows -- You Might Think -- is a great song and a dynamite video. RIP.

These kinds of considerations are unavoidable these days.
