[...] this long to recover! At any rate, as can be expected, they crushed it late into the night. Perhaps Danette summed it up best on Peas… Last weekend we had the pleasure of seeing our favorite band play in Salt Lake City. [...]

Wow looks like fun. It has been so long since I have been to a good show. I am glad you had a fun night with your man. You two are such fun people I wish we lived closer. I was jealous when I heard you girls had a movie night. I will have to come stay with Charie soon and we can hook up.
Hey remember all the great show with Mountain Hippie Band. Oh those were the days. The only thing that ever happens around here are crappy cover bads that play really bad songs. I am in the need for some culture!

Yep and we might just get to see them again on December 12th in Troy, NY. As we’ll be back east for a few weeks for the holidays.

Talk about feel good music. Their songs are strongly message based, and many are centered around an outlook of universal love and acceptance. Interesting site: DonnaBase.com (DtB lyrics database)

We better watch it or we’re going to be a part of The Herd before you know it. Me thinks Ellie would love the travel, and camaraderie of The Herd

Here are some of my favorite lyrics. This is a song from Jeb’s solo album “Hopes and Dreams”. The song is rightly called “Universal Love”. Picture a deliberately slow tempo. Jeb with acoustic, and Hank Roberts on the Cello. Sorry to be sappy, but it is touching:

Junkies on a wire
Ugly on the news
Society quagmired
So muddled and confused

But your smile
And the laughter from the trees
Message of universal love
Whispered on a breeze

So lead the way
Lead the way down to the sea
With the wind in our sails
Once again we’ll be fishing for fairy tales
Fairy tales

Universal love
Like the coming sun
It’s everywhere for everyone
Don’t you know it’s by your side
Everywhere you go
All of the time
