Scott H. Saber: Gone, But Not Forgotten

Couldn't think of a better way to get back in the game than to pay homage to my dear friend, my 'brother', Scott H. Saber (aka "Buff"), killed September 11, 2001, exactly 10 years ago yesterday - Scott was attending a seminar at the Twin Towers the morning of the 11th when they were hit.

The one memory I'll always have of Scott, aside from the fact I always knew he had my back, was him sitting in his den late at night, with the light on, patiently waiting for myself and/or our friend Henry to cruise by late night for some good old-fashion tomfoolery.  It never mattered to Scott when we came by, or even if we came by - he was there, like a rock, simply looking for a laugh whenever the moment would present itself.  And laugh we did......

Good friends, like Scott, are irreplaceable.  He now lives in my heart, which overflows with joy whenever I think of the good ol' days...

What I would do to just turn that corner one more time - to see you sitting in your den, with the light on, waiting on your best friends, waiting to laugh.

RIP my brother - we will never forget, never....

Am I Missing Something?

Been too busy to post so please accept my apologies. One question:

Could "Backwards Down the Number Line" be Phish's "Touch of Grey"?

"I'm just a bill, yeah, I'm only a bill, and I'm headin' up to Capitol Hill..."

It is now time for House Minority Leader Jon Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to sit down and shut their collective mouths up. Governing thru fear and deception has run it's course, and we, the people, are no longer buying what both of you clowns are selling.

However, I must say, they do represent the GOP, aka "the party of "No", quite well, as they both have no ideas, no balls, and now, no one to wipe the tears pouring from their eyes. As the President signed this bill into law sometime around noon today, you could just see (and feel) the floodgates open. The good news for Johnny and Mitchy, though, is that they have each other. I wonder - do you think they say 'No' to each other as much as they say it to America?

But what a great day for The Democratic Party... and our Nation. Congrats to President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid for all having the chutzpah to see Health Care Reform to it's conclusion. They would have made the late Rep. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) proud today, who spent most of his adult life advocating Health Care reform for middle and lower-class Americans. It was fitting that his son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), was able to cast one of the votes which led the House to pass the bill late-Sunday night.

A healthier Nation is a stronger Nation. Today, we are much stronger!!!

Red Hillz Music on FAYA!!!

Who says James Brown is the hardest working man in show business? The presses haven't even begun to slow down for Red Hillz's "Dub Like an Antelope - Legends of Reggae Celebrate the Music of Phish", and already Henry K is set to release the 2nd record on his new label, this one celebrating the music of our beloved brothers from across the pond, the one and only: The Who.

I've heard most of the record already, and I can honestly say "Out Here in the Fields" kicks ass. Well done, Henry. Like a fine wine, you seem to get better with age...

SCI BACK IN BUSINESS

What better way to get back in the game than to bring you the best news, music-wise, I've heard in quite some time. My friends on the west coast shot me the email I've been looking for since that last night in Red Rocks, August 2007:

After almost a 3 year hiatus in which the band performed only once (recently at Rothbury), String Cheese Incident will reunite this summer for 2 storied runs: The first, July 23-25, at Red Rocks Ampitheatre and the other, 7/29-8/1, at Horning''s Hideout - both venues soaked, 'drenched' if you will, in Cheese tradition and nostalgia....as much for the band as for their legion of fans. In short, you'd be hard pressed to find 2 finer venues in the country to see the Cheese. Am I wrong?

Anyhow, welcome back, gentleman!! I think I can speak for all of my crew in saying we really appreciate the opportunity you're giving all of us to see you perform live once again. We realize now, more than ever, that your music is a gift.

I can only hope we've given back as much as we've received...

MY NEW YEARS

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone and best of luck in'10 and beyond..
