Bill Walton November 5, 1952 - May 27, 2024

We lost a giant of man, NBA hall of famer & the Biggest Deadhead, Bill Walton on Monday to cancer.

He was really a giant kid filled with love, joy & kindness.

I have attended over 100 Dead shows in my time, you could not miss him down in the pit grooving away! You just hoped he was not in front of you!

"Music is critical in our lives and culture. It's the inspiration that drives us. It's also the window to our souls. It's a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for and where we're going."

"A lot of people understand what not saying anything means, so, in effect, not saying anything is really saying a lot."

"The Grateful Dead, they're my best friends. Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, imagination, celebration, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion all of the things I believe in makes me the luckiest Deadhead in the world."

- Bill Walton

That is Bill at a recent Dead show getting his grove on in my image.

The world is a little less kind today without his bright light.

RIP Big Redhead! "Sunlight splatters dawn with answers
Darkness shrugs and bids the day good-bye"

🎶[Saint Stephen (Grateful Dead My 2nd Show In SF 1977)] 🎶

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes, the people all complain

Stephen prospered in his time
Well he may and he may decline
Did it matter? Does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
Bucket hanging clear to Hell
Hell halfway 'twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down
And lower down again

Ladyfinger dipped in moonlight
Writing "What for?" across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters dawn with answers
Darkness shrugs and bids the day good-bye
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
Several seasons with their treasons
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
One man gathers what another man spills

Saint Stephen will remain
All he's lost he shall regain
Seashore washed by the suds and foam
Been here so long he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a-crawling, Calliope woman
Spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer? Yes I can
But what would be the answer to the answer man?

- Robert Hunter / Philip Lesh / Jerry Garcia

I saw werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
For to get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo

You hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo, huh

He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walking with the Queen, uh
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Hey draw blood
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London

🎶[America (Charley Crockett)] 🎶

America
How are you?
I hope you're doing fine
America
I love you
And I fear you sometimes

America
You know
I can be hard to understand
America
Please forgive me
I'm only a man

America
Have I told you
How I labor in your fields?
America
I just keep working
Doesn't matter how I feel

America
It's been said that
My whole life is in your hands
So, America
If you see me crying
Know I'm only a man

America
I wonder
If you remember me
America
You promised
And I've been waiting patiently

America
It's easy
To get lost in this land
America
Can you see me?
'Cause I'm only a man

- Billy Horton / Charley Crockett

🎶[Mother Goose (Jethro Tull)] 🎶

🎶[Mother Goose (Jethro Tull Live!)] 🎶

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose --
But she was screaming.

And a foreign student said to me,
"Was it really true
There are elephants and lions too
In Piccadilly Circus?"

Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun.
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

And a bearded lady said to me,
"If you start your raving
And your misbehaving
You'll be sorry."

Then the chicken-fancier came to play
With his long red beard
And his sister's weird:
She drives a lorry.

Laughed down by the putting green
Now I popped 'em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring
And digging up their gold.
I don't believe they knew
That I was Long John Silver.

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
In his jet-black mac
Which he won't give back
Stole it from a snowman.

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
But she was screaming.

Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun.
Must have been at least a hundred schoolgirls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

- Ian Anderson

🎶[Dancin' Fool (Frank Zappa)] 🎶

🎶[Dancin' Fool (Frank Zappa Live!)] 🎶

I don't know much about dancin'
That's why I got this song
One of my legs is shorter than the other
And both my feet's too long
'Course now right along with 'em
I got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin' every night
Hopin' one day I might get it right
I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool
I hear that beat
I jump outta my seat
But I can't compete
'Cause I'm a
Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool

The disco folks all dressed up
Like they's fit to kill
I walk on in 'n see 'em there
Gonna give them all a thrill
When they see me comin'
They all steps aside
They has a fit while I commit
My social suicide

I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool
I'm a Dancin' fool

The beat goes on
And I'm so wrong
(Ahhhhhh)
The beat goes on
And I'm so wrong
(Ahhhhhh)
The beat goes on
And I'm so wrong
(Ahhhhhh)

The beat goes on and I'm so wrong
The beat goes on and I'm so wrong
The beat goes on and I'm so wrong
The beat goes on and I'm so wrong
I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
Dancin' fool,
I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
Dancin' fool

Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa

I've got it all together now
With my very own disco clothes, hey!
My shirt's half open, to show you my chain
And the spoon for up my nose
I am-a really something
That's what you'd probably say
So smoke your little smoke
Drink your little drink
While I dance the night away

I'm a
Dancin' fool
I'm a
Dancin' fool
I'm a
Dancin' fool
I'm a
Dancin' fool
He's a
Dancin' fool

I may be totally wrong but I'm a
I may be totally wrong but I'm a
I may be totally wrong but I'm a
I May Be Totally wrong but I'm a FOOL, yeah! Uh!

Hey, darlin'... can I buy ya a couple 'a drinks, Hmm?
Lookin' for Mister Goodbar?
Here he is...
Wait a minute...
I've got it... you're an Italian!
Huh?
Yer Jewish?
Love your nails ...
You must be a Libra... Your place or mine?
Heh heh heh yeah...
