Tommy will be missed until he gets back.  With Tom we have had lots of energy in the band, we've completed many lists for several weeks straight now and I'm sure he's a part of it.  Rookie exuberance in the Deadstein vortex energized it quite a bit.  In addition Tom sang well, could give Larry a much needed breather and also provided us with more raising of the hand action than anyone else.

We were all there, I don't recall and guests and Johnny was absent.  I think the music this week may have taken the cake for the loudest we have every played, even so it was pretty good at points and weak at points.  I don't think it was ass good as the past several weeks.  But who is to complain, not me.  

I do remember the some very crisp Playin in the Band song parts after the Amaj Emaj Amaj parts etc.  If you know what I'm talkin' about.  I'm looking at the setlist and trying to remember what happened and all I can think is that it is a lot of big music played like it is.  You guys with the tapes are better versed to comment on the happenings.  I got so extended Godesque vocal delay going that perturbed Tom but we turned it down a bit. 

Larry and Andy had an ending of Fire that was to Die for in a Dead sense while I was hitting up the bongos with Snappa.  I liked the little drum solo where ever we did it.  We need to do drums space for 5 minutes each to give us time to stretch for 5 and space for 5.  Nothing wrong with that.  It might be invigorating.  It's nice to hear a song fade to drums as well as a song to fade from space.  It add a bit of karma to the evening. The space was nice while we were eating, the Wheel jam was cool.  I mean drums food space incorporated as part of the night would be excellent.

Mets and Yankees both start their play-off rounds with a split away from home.  We'll know if they survive by the next time I post.  Till then.  Let's go Mets!

I think our friend deserves a more detailed good-bye than this! Poor Tom Banjo, fading into obscurity, uh, I mean parentood without even a decent posting. What can I tell ya, Tommy boy, that's deadstein for you. All the hype with half the post.

It was fun playing with you, my friend. I enjoyed our Captain Fantastic and Simple Twist of Fate. May the wind always be at your back.

Andy..thanks for the smile! I also enjoyed Captain Fantastic, and will work on it during my haitus. Bone-up on it as well, and we will make it our "pizza tape" date. As for the rest of it, your "all the hype with half the post" may have been accurate, but luckily, I loves youse guys, and with all the good stuff that between us in 8 weeks - nothing could spoil that!

Hey Tom Banjo, Don't let Trister lay that "Deadstein" crap on you. I think I can speak for everyone in that we all enjoyed your stint with us. Your vocals and body movement had us on a contiual high, and we thank you for that. Hope all goes well with the upcoming addition to your family AND MAY THE FOUR WINDS BLOW YOU SAFETELY HOME. Now we just have to get the Gind to complete his words of kindness. TRISTA''''' I think a little Skynard would have worked well with that jack and tea. Where did dave come up with that combo? I'll stick with the STICK Mon'
