Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

will do . Music is keeping us very busy Just finished a week of festivals Now foor more shows this week then a week off until it starts again. We are limited here in Maine a short outdoor gig season. Now off to a Summer Solstice Celebration with hand made ceramic hand drums from Wiltjer pottery here in Maine and hula hoops too. Found the trick to them is water inside the tube. Who would have known? Have a great Solstice longest day is today. Good to hear Ranger is healing.

 

Hi Ellen,
Sounds like you have been busy, Got The Mail.. love you <3

 

What with the fact we no longer have a Constitution only a "Patriot Act" and /or a "Secure Homeland" maybe we should be running these tales by Zev so he can vet them as family lawyer first. Aww what the heck thirty/forty years ago..........Shucks I couldn't be getting para..........

 

Hi Ranger,
So good to see you typing.. I hope you're healing quickly and are feeling better everyday.. love love love

My tales are probably a bit calm compared to some. But see what i can do Ranger keep getting better, Hi Rita, Kenny ,Cakes and Mouseman if your there. Anyone hear from Whiteman? Shitty Rich,Rodney or Michelle?

 

YEA, YEA, OH YEA! What condition my condition was in!!
My heart is soaring!! I just got back from the Oregon Country Fair Elders picnic which, of course, precedes the Fair by two weeks, and is always a wonderful treat to kibitz with old geez-hippies. Now a days I am always a bit scared as to who might not be there after my disappearing act each Winter; last year we lost "Bud Wah", and this year; Big Mike MF and "Radio Free Wally"; an old Hoedad and Fair Brother. So, of course I have some major apprehensions every year. Well, one of my greatest fears of potential loss was sitting there grinning; "hey Mouseman! It was "chez Ray"; legendary chef to the Grateful Dead and a looong time cosmic brother! Ray is about 5 foot 3 inches tall and equally as wide. He has a beard down to his belly and equal hair down his back. Ray has been on kidney dialysis for about 5 years but that has hardly slowed him down. He's traveled with the "Old tyme Chitaqua" (a traveling vaudville act) for years (cooking for the troupe). They went to New Orleans after Katrina and around the country entertaining folks who needed it, we did the 30th anniversary of the "Summer of Love, the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love and 40th of Woodstock; all the time scheduling his kidney dialysis every third day while on the road. Well, as you can imagine, this was wearing on him, and I was so afraid I would come home and learn the bad news; BUT NOO!! There's Ray, and what do I hear: he's 6 months into a NEW DONATED KIDNEY!!! No more dialysis and extra energy every day!! THANK YOU GREAT SPIRIT!!!

Love to all,
Mouseman
P.S. The Oregon Country Fair is July 8,9,10 hint hint hint

 

Hey Ranger; Good to see you're well enough to commnicate and hopefully feeling better. We've been losing our personal freedoms ever since he Civil War. But Clarence Thomas may get kicked off the court and things could change.
Hey everybody; I'm trying to visit Sag Daryl and get to the Oregon Country fair But my sciatica is killing me and unless the pain stops I'm not sure I can make it. May have to put off my Western Odyssey. Hope all is well with my brothers and sisters.
Mouse or Spud; Unless I have a definite place to stay I can't make it; the pain won't let me.
Love
ZEV

 

Hi Ellen, Wizev, Mouseman, Ranger, Shameless, and everybody,

All work and no play makes Kenny someone that you don't hear from. LOL

I emailed a web link to a book Sample layout, online for us to peek at. Unlisted web space. Not Public.

Check it. Read it. MAGIFY it. Turn the pages in it. It's an Adobe Reader PDF file. Should work on every computer.

Send (e-mail) me any of your stories. We will all do an edit review together later. Long before any book publishing. Okay?

Wishing that I could go to the Oregon Country Fair. To busy working. But Maybe. Looking at 7 day in advance, air fares. Web surfing and dreaming.

Is Chris going there? Zev, maybe? Just wondering.
I do need to drive and visit Ranger and Rita. Also. My Doctor on the July 4th or 5th as well.

Work work busy busy. As My girlfriend says, "What Depression." She can't get a day off in a month.

Love to you all. :sunny:

Peace and love
wickwah/Chris

 

Yea, and besides; we Hippies have a plethora of ways to deal with pain! LOL!

Miss the OCF this year they say I'm not quite ready to get out of here, but soon.
Zev, I was able to relieve Rita's siatica working the accupressure points from the foot up the leg to the hip add it seems to have had a lasting efect.

 

I wish you all the very best of times at OCF, think of me a time or two and send me some of that good stuff, you know the stuff I mean. That real strong stuff that takes you to places you never want to leave from. The very same stuff that makes you feel so good you never want to come down.

It's becoming very popular even in the most far regins of the earth. Ppl are trying it every where and are having great results, oddly enough everyone is willing to share it.. well most everyone.

Some say it's quiet addicting but not harmful to the body, others have mentioned that it hurts and songs have been written about it.

I just know that most cannot live without it and look everywhere to find it. There is no price to be put onto it, no taxing or government standard. It's pure and uncut without fillers. You cant see it or touch it. It has no smell or taste to it but it is all consuming and fills you completly, blindly without judgement.

It does not discriminate nor does it give warning, when it hits you it takes you on a trip like never before. The stuff is so good it thrills you and chills you and certinly fulfills you to your core.

I really could use a big does now cuz I'm blue and need a color change to sunshine. Not The Sunshine but the sunshine in my heart has truned as blue as the ice tht covers the North Pole.

The anartic has taken my heart in it's prison of broken dreams of days gone by as my dear sister lay daying in her bed. She is reaching the stage of seperation from body and spirit.

She is in waiting for the journey into the unknown, the journey we are all bound for. We know not what lays ahead but there is no getting around it. We can only go through it and get over it.

The best way to get through it is to have the good stuff handy to keep you on the right path. if you have some of the good stuff will you kindly share a little with me. The good stuff has to be replenished and can only be replenished with the return of the same.

So, If you please, will you pass some my way, my supply is running low. I will return it to you even stronger if you can lend it over for a while. You know what they say

All You Need Is Love, Love, All You Need Is Love.

Lovin all of you

I have added in some pictures for you all to see.
I do hope that this stirs your imagination.
At the very least think up a few titles and send me your working titles for our titles list for others to get inspired. Okay.

Thanks Kennykins, thank you for the love. When my plate clears I will get a couple more off to you asp. I will try to gather up some more peeps to add their experience to the works.

I wonder where Cheryl has gotten off to. It's been a while since she has posted. I hope all is well with her and she is off somewhere having an awsome time and will return soon with pictures and stories.

Mouseman, I am wishing you a prosperous venture at OCF and that tons of GE'er show up and rock n roll all night long.

Zev, So sorry and the siatica. I have it sometimes too and it is a nusence. I hope it gets better soon and you are feeling strong and fit.

Ranger, as always I wish you health welth and happiness forevermore and hope you are mending well and will be able to get back out to the market an a few months. Bright Blessings to you both.

Ellen my soul sister, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am sending lots of healing and loving energy your way. I love your music and your joy. You have been a strong influence in my life and helped me become the person I am today.. OH.. and thanks for not kicking my as when I tossed a beer to you and it hit you in the head one night over at Oak Street. (meber that? ).

Chris, I know you will have a wonderful adventure at OCF give everyone a big squeeze from me and soak up all the love you can. It's very soothing and healing to the sprit. Best to you and Sheila and hope your journey is blessed with happiness.

Tons of LOVE to the East Texas Sister and her family. The Blues will turn to sunshine!! Plenty (ALL here) send you this in huge amount!!! LOVE and PEACE Sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cakes also about the Beer to Elon ** Elon at the time may have felt it a bit harder!! Cakes I did the EXACT same thing to Rocky (By accident of course) just before he and Happy left my East coast Hideout place in Bethesda MD. Made a nice little scar on what all the girls said was such a preety face!! He asked me to toss him a BUD and I did he did not catch it!!! He carryed the scar over his eye from then on!! I remember well when he and Happy FINALLY went west to S.F. that was maybe around 73/74'ish. They FINALLY had to make the trek west as we all had the our tall tales of our Vagonbonding. I wonder whatever happened to Rocky we were close for a time???

FYI to all Happy sends his best to all from the land of the Cheese Heads!! I was looking at pictures of Mary, Nancy (Na Na) and others just the other day with Sheila. Cakes you may remember when Pookie and one of the other kids went up to Nancy for Country Protection!! lol

Ranger after the Chest Cracking you had this season recovering is the most important thing. BTW did the AZ fires effect you in any way. ALSO the Veterns Rehab Facility in Central Point Orygun is a real nice place if you are allowed to choose and there is PLENTY of family across the pass in Tiller Milo Days Creek Canyonville area!! Just food for thought!!

Zev as Mouseman said, if you can suffer your way to the OCF I am sure there will be many ways to help the siatica issue!!!

Kenny what can I say you are energy squared!!!! Kenny do you remember Dunkleys Liquor there is a story there too!!

Also a tad bit worried about Cheryl as it has been a while.

Danny/Spud Sheila had me up on her computer showing me your pictures on the FB site. LOL WOW The Homegrown Card was right there with the AV Pics too!! I did not notice any shots from up at McCombers but I may have just not reconized it....NICE garden too!!

Peace and Love to ALL

OCF in a week or so!!
