(LIVE Collaboration with the Grateful Dead tribute band ‘The Deal’)
Songs about those
Golden shore
Troubadours
Return on trumpet bells
Shining seashells
Splendid flying serpents
Miscreants
Galactic streaming
Always missing
Missing
Spirit practice
Trance and cactus
On the Mother Road
All time has taught us
To be here tonight
Mountain sitting
Pickup truck winter
Swinging through San Berdoo
Rewind past to present
Present here, a gift
Dancing
As the walls come down
In Lobotown
Don’t you let
That deal go down
Wise women washed
In New Mexican grooves
In all right
Red light tonight
The magic swimming
The magic
Spinning
Soundtrack set to
77
Degrees of integration
Among the alchemists
And warlocks, I write
Those golden shores
As lions roar
Esteemed and dipped in poetry
Returned, for all to be
In turquoise
Mountain mystery
From the once and final glory
Eclipsing
Poems and little lights alit
Light up and share
Life’s love and testament
Brilliant, beauty
Beauty
Beauty be
