News from yesterday is real…The absence of Dave, and his laugh and general attitude are proof enough, not to mention, his musicianship. This thing is on everyone's mind, as it should be. There were just so many innocent people in those buildings…
Tedo is up in the common area of the bus listening to classic R&B. His knowledge of this kind of music is amazing…the resident musicologist. A few of us sit and pass around CD jackets telling us who we're listening to…or you could just ask Tedo. He knows.
At the same time, Sylvan, or 'Deep', as we call him, is doing his thing at the microwave. Deep can make a good meal out of just about anything that's fit to eat. And if he gets his hands on some really good ingredients, he'll cook up something worthy of the best Jamaican restaurant. I call him the 'Microwave King.' Dread at the controls…
The clean air and laid back atmosphere of Northern California is getting into our systems…smoke free indoor air that even a smoker can appreciate…lots of green, healthy vegetation and a lifestyle that seems to encourage clean living.
We get some rest and prepare for showtime…the people will need something else to think about. This will be Cecil's second night as bassist. I've got to get him to share a story or two…
