Ride the Music




Yikes, another hectic day ahead with no time for blogging! I did go to the Control Board meeting yesterday and commentary with pictures will be going up tomorrow, I swear.

This weekend I will be reuniting with some Pine Pointers and going to see the Jefferson Starship in Northampton on Sunday. The Starship these days is essentially a Paul Kantner solo band, but with frequent visits from Airplane alumni, in particular Marty Balin and David Freiberg. Grace Slick never appears with the band anymore.

Yet I strongly recommend going no matter what the line-up turns out to be. Kantner and crew are still very energetic and the spirits of old are known to arise even today, if your mind is open to it. As Kantner says in this email:




Hi,

Haven’t seen your face in a while. How have you been? Do you still dream? Come back with us.

Hello new one. Sit by the fire and join us. Tell us of your discoveries and concerns. We will listen.

We know each other. Our hearts took many paths. Sometimes you can just wink at somebody and they understand.


The price is absurdly cheap, thirty bucks to see genuine inductees to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. It is also going to be outdoors, which will only further intensify the vibe. Be there, it'll be a high time for all.
