Happy Hollidays everybody

Haven't posted anything for quite some time. It is getting harder and harder to find time. It's also getting harder and harder to think straight. Finally got my old traffic tickets cleared up. Next stop, the DMV to take the test and get my drivers license back. Then its Car shoppin time. Haven't been mobile for a long time. Christmas this year went better than I expected. It was our first Christmas without our son. But with the family here Debbie did really well. I am glad that she did because I was so worried that she would be really depressed. But she actually had a good time seeing her cousins. Well speaking of Debbie I am being paged GTG. Back later.

"I Want To Go Back"/Re-posted just because I felt like it

I want to go back
to Mayacamas Vinyards
and plant grapes while singing "Workin on the Chain Gang"
I want to go Back
to Wrights Beach, sleep on the sand, Waves crashing.
I Want to go Back
To Goat Rock and fly my dome tent like a kite
I want to go back
To Duncan Mills Campground where the stars shined like a cosmic Hasbro Light-Bright and the sound of the Russian river lulled me to sleep.
I want to go back
to the days when young men wore their pants around their waist
and you never saw any ones boxers.
I want to go back
To KVON Radio station and play the long version of "Carry On" By Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young while smoking Hashish out side the studio
I want to go back
and work the concession stand selling coke and candy bars at one of my mom's concerts at the Napa Fairgrounds
While "Country Joe and The Fish" play an anti war song and become part of rock and roll history.
I want to go back
To Golden Gate Park and see the "Jefferson Airplane" for free
I want to go back and drive my 1960 Ford Falcon from San Jose to Napa
on $3.00 worth of gas with "Pink Floyd" blaring from the Eight Track.
I want to go back and pinpoint just where the Star ship Enterprise first appears in the opening credits for "Star Trek" and Ride the back roads of Hazzard County with the Duke Boys, Back to when Hoss Cartwright's 10 gallon hat was 15 gallons and the "Bolt Brothers" Ran Seattle and owned Bridal Veil mountain.
I want to go back to a simpler time and place where multi- thousand watt car stereos dont exist and 9/11 was just another date.
I want to Go Back
to my best friend Ron Brooks's house when UHF telivision was the latest thing
and wachikanoka the Indian and the "Old Sourdough" were a late nite offering on "KEMO" channel 20 from San Francisco, and The Robinson Family were"Lost In Space" and "WWW" was "The Wild Wild West" Not the "World Wide Web"
Damn How I want to go Back!

Norton Buffalo - Nobody Wants Me

It is with tremendous sadness that I Report the Death of one of the greatest Harmonica players of all time and a friend as well. "Snortin" Norton Buffalo passed away ysterday from Lung Cancer. His Spirit and Talent will be Greatly Missed.

Just another Saturday??????

Well Here it is Saturday morning. I didn't sleep worth a Damn last Night. I kept waking up from a strange dream in which my son Danny had returned form the dead. He had come to reassure his mother and I that there was something else after this life. I don't Know what could have caused me to dream these things except that Debbie and I went to the movies yesterday to see "The Secrets of Johnathan Sperry". It is a Christian film that dealt with coming to except Christ and dealing with death and things like that. It was a little slow at first but got better. What made it especially good was that at the end you find that it is based on a true story. It starred Gavin McLeod (Love Boat) and Robert Guillaume(Benson) although Guillaume part was small it turns out to be a pretty important one when taken in context to the message of the movie which is "Forgiveness" and Living for Christ. 1hr 36 min run time. Worth seeing.

Long Live "Wachikanoka"

It is with Great Sadness that I report the Passing Of Gary Ferry. Some of you may remember him as the host of a San Jose based program called "Movies till Dawn" sponsored by 3M Carpets. Others may remember "Race Street and Bascomb ave" I remember him mostly for his portrayal of Chief "Wachikanoka" The pot smoking Indian who co hosted a late night movie show known as "The Old Sourdough &Wachikanoka. They would show really old time classic westerns like the old Gabby hayes movies tied together at the breaks with hilarious Banter between the two hosts. I remember the show from the days when it aired on uhf channel KEMO TV 20 in San Fransisco. I believe it ran from about 1 am till 3 am. The part of "The old Sourdough" was played by Andy Moore. Andy is still seen today in segments of "Wild West Tech" and appears as the old Sourdough at events around the country or so I hear.
Gary Passed away Oct 6, 2009 after a 16 month Battle with Cancer. To Gary I Say Thank you for all the laughs and Smiles. To Wachikanoka I say.
May the Happy Hunting grounds Be Bountiful for you. I'll smoke a peace Pipe in your Memory. Peace Chief

Back online finally

Well I got my new puter. we shall see how long this one lasts.
