Ahhhh... The joys of the Newman Family. Randy is always fun, and his cousin Thomas is just as incredible. The score to the Shawshank Redemption is on my all-time top-ten list. Funny enough, one of my fave song's from Randy's discography is the theme tune for the TV series, Monk. "It's a Jungle Out 'Dere!"

[@KittyCarlile-490]

I watch Monk every morning so I also hear that tune

[@KittyCarlile-490]

[@splashesin8]

@@KittyCarlile-490I remember liking that show. Could relate to that character a lot because of my dad. Omigoodness! It's not just about cleaning either. It was a relief to have friends begin to understand what sort of affect happens when you grow up sort of not knowing anything different. ...and to hear some of their experiences as well. At times nightmarish at other times amusing, often frustrating yet a boon to his profession. Hoping it's a rabbit ears channel. Maybe I can find it here.

Daryl, wow. I know you've played with the best but It must have been incredible to play with him. His work with Ponty and Zappa is some of my all time favorite lead work. New Country and Gardens of Babylon off of Imaginary Voyage are great cuts. It's like listening to Segovia play Rock. Red Rocks, my old hunting grounds. You've probably done this before but in case you haven't, get your butt out of bed at 6 am (rush hour in Denver is 7 to 8 am) or so and take a few of your comrades with you, without any Instruments, and go over there and get on the stage when the place is empty and sing acapella. It's an amazing experience. Your voices will bounce off the Rocks and come back at you. Fantastic acoustics the 2nd best I ever experienced.

It's the same over here in the UK Mr Sklar on 5th of November - bonfire night every year - with those dangerous fireworks and fires shooting off everywhere . Especially for pets and older folks in our society ...it's so distressing for them . The problem is the fireworks are let off a week before and a week after the 5th so it's like 2 weeks of bedlam and sudden loud noises for an event which happened hundreds of years ago . I think I'll have a two week holiday in Tibet this coming November ? Safe travels to you and all your Band mates .
