Treebeard's Underground Railroad to ride again

“Cool, Stu Robbins guessed good.”

“from MusicMatch:

Prewar Blues is country-blues recorded before World War II. Prewar blues is entirely acoustic, but there are variations to the style -- it could be acoustic guitars, piano blues, solo singers, string bands, or jug bands. The primary unifying factors are that the music is all acoustic, is usually a folk song, and was recorded prior to World War II.”

“Wow, you've just edimicated two ol hippies.

Stu sez thanks and so do I.

You coming to the family car camping and cookoff trip?”

“Where did everybody go?”

“I'm not going anywhere. Had ACL (that's a ligament in your knee) reconstruction last week.

Learning how to walk again ...”

“Well, man, the nice thing about car camping is you can still do it with God knows what. I've been through just about everything the gods of bad legs can throw, and I'm still car camping.

Stay in touch. We'll figure out a way to make it happen. Lancaster is not that far from Philly.”

“later - good show!!

{applause}”

“Hey folks! anyone up for some good rock n roll today? Join me at two!!!

IM: hgrnj”

“will do if around the house or at work. Got your playlist set?

Looks like we will get settled into Manhattan late afternoon/early evening a week from today. I'll email you if it looks like I can slip away for a brew or two. Leave the next afternoon.”

“I may stop by... but ya know, here, that is cantina time and I have the day off tomorrow!”

“you should figure a way to play the underground railroad in the cantina. ;-)”

“Let me know, Pathman!
Just getting settled in here. Ran down to the wire getting here. Will check in again...”

“Sorry, couldn't make the train.

My wife FORCED me to go on a day hike. Saw deer, Blue Heron, some aquatic birds engaged in foreplay, a couple of hawks, wild flowers, etc. Although it was overcast the temp was mid 70's. I wish I could have stayed home and listened. ;-}”

“It's good, though, that you got out and hiked. I will be camping with my scout troop next week, so no show. The week after, however, I have a really cool cover songs show programed. It will feature some very interesting items...”

“Next weekend, you got Scouts, I have in-laws. Wanna trade? Hmm....”

“No train today! :(

goin' camping with da boy scouts...”

“Well shoot, I'll probably go out on the streets and get in trouble then.”

“how bout the undergarments? Will they be riding high today?”

“Ok, got a good show lined up for tomorrow. Pretty much all scripted out (how uncharacteristic of me!). It will be an entire three hours devoted to nothing but cover songs. Now, I won't be playing the usual stuff (Van Halen's "You Really Got Me", et al). There will be categorized picks, including several that you may not know even exist. Lots of good stuff on tap!”

“I have been up there with snow on the ground, I have been up there when I barely beat the flood waters back home, and I have been up there in the sun. If I come back again there will be tornadoes!”

c'mon tree, look at those songs to chose from!”

“I wonder if he'll play Leonard Cohen's cover of "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor (On The Bedpost Overnight)?"”

“Never heard those, Sacco. Maybe I can download some of that tonight. But, like I said, I have this pretty well scripted out and I still have to see how much time my selections, so far, are going to take. I have categorized things in certain formats, too. So, let me see how it unfolds...

“How it will unfold:

1. Tree arrives at station.
2. Tree takes crates of CDs into station and sets them down.
3. Tree starts rummaging through crates, CD's flying through the air, some landing near console, some on floor, some in trash can. Station mice huddle in fear. Some CDs fly out of jewel cases and land inexplicably in the CD drive, which shuts from the force of the CD hitting the drive, and music starts playing.
4. Tree frantically searches for CD case of CD playing so he can log it into play list. More rummaging, more CDs land in CD drives and more music plays. More frantic searches for cases and logging.
5. Phone rings. Maple wants to know when Tree is coming home. Tree puts her on hold while he makes an announcement.
6. More CDs fly through the air. Tree remembers Maple on hold. She is now madder than a hornet. Song ends, Tree puts Maple on hold to change CDs, but can't find cases.
7. Rummages through crates looking for cases. Remembers Maple on hold. Maple has hung up. Tree is sleeping on sofa tonight.
8. Gabe arrives at 5:05 and wonders how he's supposed to get his show going with a mountain of CDs and jewel cases all over the station and tree babbling about sleeping on the sofa. The train has reached the station.”

“That about sizes it up, Geo! lmao”

“it does not you toad breath!

I try not to bother tree at the station”

“Yes, you are good about that. But, for the rare times you do call, you have the uncanny talent for doing it right when I am in one of the aforementioned juggling acts!”

“...aforementioned juggling acts that run from 1:58 p.m. till 5:12 p.m.

And I left out the visits to the Wolfenstein Room and trying to figure out which door you used to get in there.

This one!

Ooops, no, not that one (slamming door quickly to avoid Nazi dogs).”

“not my fault that I call you when you on a break
next time im bleeding to death I will try to control my urge to call you for help

:)”

“Oh, the ol bleeding to death episode. I remember that one.

Maple: I'm bleeding to death.
Tree: I'm way out here at the station. Call an ambulance.
Maple: It's not that bad.”

“did not geo!!


you turkey breath

oh he, we are going to be in Easton next weekend. tree is dropping me off then heading to the station
want to go?”

“I'll probably stick close to home next weekend. I leave for Maine on the 17th and will probably spend the weekend getting things ready.”

“Turkey breath, ... she called me turkey breath, ... danged turncoat sold out her heritage and moved to NYC of all places, and she calls me turkey breath!

Haroomph!”

“turncoat?

OMG THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“SEE??? SEE WHAT I MEAN???”

“Back off, you two! Getting ready for show time...

“Okay Treeman, I'm witchya now!”

“me to baby

“Good song off a good album.”

“BTW, you could almost do an hour segement of covers of "Reason to Believe."”

“This is not the tape of the concert where he got by with a little help (hand) from his friends!”

“Just logged in!”

“Hark! There's someone out there!”

“Someone's been out here since 2:45.

Took a wrong door in the Wolfenstein room, didn't ya.”

“What are you talking about, Geo?”

“Pullin your leg tree.”

“Good show, by the way. You exceeded yesterday's build-up.”

“Joey Ramone for Pres!!!”
