Travelin’ Music from out on Texas Highway 61
When I was out west earlier this month, an old running buddy — let’s call him Marv — and I grabbed daughter Elly and revisited one of our early haunts, a little blues joint outside Vancouver, WA known as the Cascade Tavern. That night, we were treated to the musical stylings of Bug Henderson, who had been booked into the Portland Blues Festival that weekend until the promoter pulled the gig on him at the last minute.
Bugs was not a happy man about that cancellation — in fact, he put an awful lot of feeling that night into a song about how hard it is to make a living with his “starvation box” of a guitar. But since he was in town anyway, he ended up at the Cascade. His loss was our gain, because he’s quite a picker.
Here he is playing Dylan’s “Highway 61,” Texas blues style. Enjoy your evening folks.

Hillbilly D,
You can take heart that it isn’t only your Cubs that start pounding each other in their own dugout. It’s spread to the Mariners.

Awesome Jerry tat, maybe the best one I’ve seen.
And yeah, the Dead always played a song for years before they put it on an album just to make sure they had it the way they wanted it. What’s the hurry right? lol
Crazy fingers, wow. Yeah that song and Birdsong were the two that just seemed to take me to another place. Almost like a meditation. Ah the memories and “we’re still everywhere”!!! Take it easy brother.

“откуда вы знаете русский язык”
I was part of a Ukrainian dance troupe in New Jersey as a youth, eyes, so I learned some basic Russian along with the Cyrillic alphabet.

“Its hot tonight. Here is some summer skin for you”
Thanks, legz. How did you know that it’s been a while??
“Bruno, Awesome Jerry tat, maybe the best one I’ve seen.”
Thanks, Df. I also have a beautiful “Cats Under the Stars” tat, and plan to get a “Blues for Allah” tat of the skeleton playing the fiddle as soon as I get a job again.
“Crazy fingers, wow. Yeah that song and Birdsong were the two that just seemed to take me to another place. Almost like a meditation. Ah the memories and “we’re still everywhere”!!! Take it easy brother.”
You too, bro. you’re the real deal. I guess just like the ex-military folks here share a common bond, the “veterans” of all the Dead shows will always share a common bond.
Have a Grateful Night!!!

Bruno,
That is awesome. The Air Force sent me to Syracuse University to learn Russian. While there I also joined the choral group and we sung songs like Katyusha. After getting out of the Air Force, I got my BA in Slavic Languages – thus, my frequent exchanges with Josef on linguistics.

Here’s wishing a painful agonizing death to rap and pop, and those who perform it.

Got this from Amnesty International last night…
Dear Norm
We are thrilled to report that earlier this week Congress passed the Tribal Law and Order Act as an amendment to H.R. 725, a groundbreaking and long-overdue piece of legislation that tackles violent crime against Native American and Alaska Native women.
A huge thank you to the thousands of Amnesty supporters like you who took action to make this human rights victory possible.
Because of you, Native American and Alaska Native women will no longer be trapped in a mindboggling, jurisdictional maze that allows perpetrators to rape with impunity.
Every Native American and Alaska Native woman will be given the chance to:
get a police response,
have access to a rape kit,
have the opportunity to see her case prosecuted, and
see justice served for crimes committed against her.
Spurred by our hard-hitting 2007 report, Maze of Injustice, Amnesty’s millions-strong, global human rights movement has worked tirelessly to ensure this legislation became a reality.
People like you have set the stage for reversing the devastating rate of sexual violence that Native American and Alaska Native women have endured for much too long.
This is what we can accomplish when we work together.
I want to thank you again for all you do. This is a truly amazing victory for women’s human rights and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you,
Rachel and the rest of the Stop Violence Against Women team
