Mondays Missives

Another treasure from Wise County Museum in Dectaur Texas





  • The Queen reminded me of the Nixon's- here is one of their best recorded live and standing as testament to the natural fact the 90s were the apex of mans musical endeavors.
  • A cleaner sound quality studio version if that's more your style.
  • The 70s had her moments as well- Manfred Mann is Blinded By The Light from a performance on Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special.
  • Dollar General carries a line of lemonades that are really tasty- peach and other flavors, the brand is Southern something, somethin'- I don't recall.
  • Zac just came up gave me a hug and said, You're such a good boy, thank you for being so good!
  • I planted my pear trees as 4-6 ft. whips. They're now 8-10 feet tall and I can't touch my thumbs and middle fingers together around them. A mockingbird was sitting in one of them the other day singing away.
  • Nothing like that feeling- for me.
  • From a 2010 draft...

That version of BBTL really kicks it. A lot of MS performances were haphazard, but this one is a gem. Kudos for the well-played trippy bridge.

Stupid trivia note: The lead singer on this song, Chris Hamlet Thompson, later went on to work with Starship, née Jefferson Starship, née Jefferson Airplane, in 1989. That band also had another lead singer from an eponymous band, Mickey Thomas, who sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love with the southern rock Elvin Bishop Band, before joining Slick, Chaquico, Sears & Co. (Kantner & Balin having already left the Bay area band).

I like the ancient WC hieroglyph depicting the tragic fate of the intergalactic tourism delegate.
