Again. it was just the four of us without Trister in Smash Studio A. Trister got a fishing hook in his finger where he presses down on the strings.  Due to the so-called electric shock that caused, Trister was unable to make the jam.  Someone please get this guy a job where he actually goes to work thereby protecting him from himself.  

There were no guests to join us. and few distractions we therefore got in lots of songs.  The room sounded pretty good.  The PA was working.  I was using the reissue Twin that sounded very good to me.  I think they fixed it and got rid of the rattling buzz that used to be there  Kev had a new bass cabinet that is real big with eight  12" speakers.  It sounded the same to me.  We started a bit weak but I think it was the Slow Train that got us into a serious groove that we didn't really lose until the Throwing Stones.  Let us not forget the song, or the cord pattern Rich wrote that we all jammed on, similar to Monkey and the Engineer but in A and a bit more ragtimey.  Here Comes Sunshine seemed really good and it was too bad we decided it was going to be the last song of the set because it felt like it and we were going to go somewhere with it besides the couch.

Due to lots of traffic in suburban New Jersey , I didn't get there until 7:00.  This let me park on the street for free but it also meant I had no C5 to eat.  After the jam I went to Pronto Pizza on 8th Ave. for a pepperoni slice and some garlic knots!  They were okay.  In the news, the Nets lots game 7 to the Pistons to end there 2 year streak of making it to the NBA finals.  Jayson Kidd scored no points in the losing effort.  It was a John Starks type of game for him.

Till next Thursday, 5/27/04 at 7:00 pm in Studio A.

I think we did You Win Again after Loser, but who's counting?

That is right, we did the You Win Again to counter act the thoughts contained in Loser. We reached an equilibrium after the You Win Again.

Hey, coffee-Boy just posted the MP3 from this week, without selective editing, i.e. he even included the terrible Around and Around, and I added them to the database so they show up in the multimedia database as well as the jams database for this show. I also spent some time adding records, literally, to the jams database so virtually all of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Albums now appear in the jams page under their respective groups. Enjoy.
