The ever present tuning problem, yeah. Where were floor tuners???!!!! After years of messing around with it, I finally got a floor tuner and it's been like the Pedal from Heaven. I'd had one in a combo-unit, but it's nice to have the simple bypass feature, notch out, tune and go right back to it. Given that this was a New Years gig - Bill Graham used to do New Years concerts that were all nighters. I only got to one, at Winterland, probably 70 or 71. The idea was once you were in, you were there to stay. You could leave of course but who'd want to do that? Graham introduced the night we were at with classic Graham, saying "you know I don't agree with some of the stuff you guys do, the drugs and all of that, but tonight, do what you want, we're all amongst friends here". Something to that effect. It was quite a night. Worst set, an absolute toxic melt down was the Jefferson Airplane, only second time I'd seen them and the last. The Dead were very dead. But there was some good music that night, and the Sons played and came out - dressed in .... pajamas. Either night gown things or actual P.J.'s. Hag was wearing a long night cap on his head. A night to remember! Yeah, this is rough alright, but it's great to hear them! Thanks!

Mark S, think "property". They inherited in Sonoma county, didn't they? Where'd I hear that... Defamation of character = malicious intent. That's Christianity with a Capital "C", isn't it? Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get. Out.

Yogi Phlegm! Now we're talkin'. That was a Side-Sons band of Terry Haggerty's. Forget who else was in it. They got pretty "outside", saw them a couple times, in fact the band I was in played with them at the Lionshare in San Rafael! Haggerty is very into the improvisational side of jamming, and YP was pretty much a hit and run version of that IMO. You have to really like his playing style to like them. :) Now - speaking of Side-Sons - post-Sons there was the Rhythm Dukes. Guess who was in that one? I'm heading over to check out site out now. Thanks! Oh man! this is great!!! "Where's f###### Charlie!" 2:22 of "tuning". There ya go! Gotta check this out.....

You offered respect Roy, no small gift. A word fitly spoken can be like a pebble tossed into a pond that doesn't make a big splash at the time but sends ripples out, slowly and smoothly and ends up when and where it does in it's own time. Life's greatest pleasures can be the ones that come back to us when we least expect it!

This was a shot down. Way down! -

We hiked up a stretch along a creek, and found one scene after another like this. The trees and brush and vegetation were so luch and full! -

This one was really cool! There was a cave under the growth, and the water was really pretty clear here. -

Due to the recent rains the creeks were running water through them. We stopped at a spot where there was a fairly large bridge and checked it out. It was worth it, the running water and the boulders made for a beautiful view. The drive down this road is pretty windy and many of the bridges you cross over are really small. This one was pretty good size and there were turnouts on both sides so it was a good place to stop. -

The wif' is pointing here to a fall that was waaaaaay up above, and I took several photos but none of them actually showed the upper fall clearly. This was the best shot of the lower fall, very bubbly and peaceful. By this time we'd only seen a couple other people along the way. It was amazingly peaceful, with some slight misty drizzles off and on but most of the day was moderately cool and nice. -

This spot was a grand view of 3 falls and the pool below. We saw the 4th just above them, and a 5th that was far up I couldn't get a good angle on. COOL! spot. -

This one was off a ways from the beaten track, not hard to get to but couldn't be seen from the road. We headed down a path that one of our guide books suggested was worth the stop. When we came to a break we looked back and down the side of the hill and saw this. -

Right up the road we pulled off to a spot where the entrance to a path turned out to be closed, so we couldn't get to those falls. When we came back, we sat in our car for a bit and looked over the map, parked near a small bridge. Suddenly a chicken showed up, coming up from the creek side next our car. Then another. They were the oddest thing - wild chickens - and the first couple birds just stood near our car looking at us. We figured they must be used to being fed, as they just stood there waiting. Theh one squacked and another couple came up. We finally backed out...slowly...as they just stood there watching us..... -

The "Road to Hana" is a long drive down the coast of Maui - east coast? Along the way there are many different waterfalls. We took off one day when the weather looked good using a map and a CD from "Snorkel Bob's" that talks the driver through the various stops along the way and what to look for. (plus some pretty funny commentary by "Bob" and his sidekick) This was one of the first locations we found, a short hike off the main road. Right along behind us were newlyweds, just married and honeymooning in Maui. They took our picture and we returned the gesture. Due to recent rains the waterfalls were active but most of the pools were a bit muddy, like this one. It was a beautiful spot, quiet and on the day we drove very few cars on the road. This was our second visit, the first being our 25th anniversary, with our kids. This visit it was just us.
