When the last rose of summer pricks my finger....
...And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripple as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
Black muddy river
Roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide
If you got another side
Roll muddy river
Roll muddy river
Black muddy river roll
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
15 years gone today...and I miss him more than ever.

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there
They're giving out Jerry bobbleheads at tonight's Giant's game. I want one.

I will be better when this day is over. I remember coming out of my sales meeting with all sorts of messages and phone calls all giving the same message.

Thx Jr. Inspiration move me brightly
The lyrics made me think of a classic Standells song...
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own:
Well I love that dirty water...
I also love the dead shirts with the lighting bolt substituted with a state of Maine.
you can get them at Mexicali Blues in Windham? Raymond? you can have'em sub another state in as well.

That was one of those days..... I will always remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing when I heard the news.....
Still to this day - The best concert I have ever seen was The Dead w/ Little Feat at Oxford Hills, July 2, 1988....
Also saw them w/ Dylan on the Fourth of July 1987 @ Foxboro - That was also a great show, except for the 6 hours to get out of the lot......

Spent last night listening to a playlist of my favorite shows till very late on the front porch. Opened a bottle of port, was quite safe, and was reminded over and over of how much happiness jerry brought into the world.

Couldn't get a bottle of Ripple?
Ripple in still water
Where there is no pebble tossed
or wind to blow...
Reach out your hand
If your cup be empty
If you cup is full
May it be again
Let it be known
There is a fountain
That was not made
By the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone

I'm glad yesterday is over. For some reason, it hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday morning and went straight downhill from there. Nothing I could do about it except just wait it out. Seeing the kids when they got home from camp helped, but it didn't fix yesterday. Haven't felt that bad in a long long time.
I have no idea why yesterday was so much worse than previous August 9th's. Almost as bad as the day it happened 15 years ago. No idea why. Really sucked.
Today is much better. Onwards and upwards............
