It's 11/11 !!!...remember the sabbath and keep it holy

Straight from the desk of "hatrack" himself, don't forget to take the time to hop in the ol' wayback machine, setting the controls to a more primal time.. and jam-on your favorite version of The Eleven today! 

Perhaps it's one of the longest versions performed (2/21/69)...the classic Live Dead version (1/26/69)...the galloping take from Two From the Vault (8/28/68)...or my usual go-to performance from what I also think is the best show of the late-Feb/early March run at the Fillmore East...3/2/69. 

Whatever yr' pleasure...put it on, cue it up and play it LOUD!!...let yr'self sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below and have a great weekend!

Terribly distracted...with good reason

While i will fully admit to my 3 week-long neglect to my journalistic post for an audience of none...which includes still owing these pages not 1 - but 2! - TTB concert reviews from Beacon Theater shows attended over a month ago...at least 2 more "bump-into" posts...recent musical recommends...pocketfulls of instantly forgettable musings...and other inconsistent flashes of dull mental lightning. And also realizing that i'm being unnecessarily obligated to absolutely no-one...i have only the following pictures and my most happy and over-the-moon pleasure to introduce to this den of silent echos, my excuse for my silence and the newest member of my life...Nelson.
