Where The Fuck Were You?

In 1973, Wisconsin Native, Steve Miller was Thirty.

And while this isn't the over produced version Your used to, look at the Young Freak. He thought he was just a Hip Bluesman with an upside down Strat. He hadn't yet become Your Steve Miller. '73 was a Transitional Year.

Oh, and You think You've got a 'stache. Look at these hippies backing up another of Yours. An Eightball will get You a White Suit and a Haircut, but You know it's all about being Burton Cummings.

And Just BE FUCKING CAUSE. 1978

WHAT!?!?! That's the best right there. Bon.

And Fuck Sammy, but Montrose.

Stay with this one, the audience is dumbfounded. Brilliant. Paved the way for Sacha Baron Cohen.

And Finally.
I've set up a counter so if You play this next one We will all know.

Get all six of them playing at the same time. No. Don't.

Title: Sonoma Fireworks 2 - 8
or Fun With Fireworks

We went up to Sonoma for 24 hours. Otoña had a few friends round for killer food, sunshine, and fireworks.

Real Small Town - Old Timey Fireworks. Right overhead and in front of us with a huge finale.

Glad we were on the guest list.

The Burial of "Come On" Shelly

GG really wanted to bury her. First she wanted to bury her under one of our elms, but the dirt was all roots. Then she wanted to bury her in a our local graveyard, but I didn't think they'd like seeing us come in with shovels. We don't really have earth in the compound, only containers.

Otoña suggested this. Shelly Gerbera.

Rest Easy Shelly

George, in blue, came to our outdoor feeders in late November 2001. He came in out of the cold the day George Harrison died.

We got him Shelly soon after, and they were truly a pair for almost eight years.

George keeps looking for her. He's heartbroken.

So is GG.

Title: Ed Litton's
Hanzo finished his Litton assembly. It is a thing of Beauty.
So, today we did 30 miles and ended up at Ed Litton's Shop.

AND I FORGOT TO PUT THE BATTERY IN MY CAMERA!
(this shot was with my phone)

He, in blue, was very approachable and obliging. Turns out he built Hanzo's frame in 1985. He had amazing bikes everywhere. A lot of them were in for repairs, but there is a Litton track and cross and a tiny fully road Litton that took 24" wheels. Those Litton's were his, but I think he'd sell the Tiny Road. There is a spray booth in the back, and more bikes. There is a 3Rensho roadie, and a Nag track, and a couple of Eisentraut's and a herd of Italians. And I forgot the battery in my camera.

Now that we know right where he is, out past Hyphy, we'll be back.

And pics of Hanzo's complete Litton to come.
