None of Kendall's groupies have any morals at all otherwise how could they tolerate having that damn Llahma as a mascot?

"It is going to be hard to keep the Kendall Groupies' moral up."

Jeez, I didn't know the Kendall Groupies had any moral.

Better make room in the cellar for me.... Gettin' to be quite a party down there...



Hey Kendall -- congratulations on your wonderful day -- may you have many more!

Did you really shave off your beard just to get a gun? No beard and Depends? It is going to be hard to keep the Kendall Groupies' moral up. Remember how they all fell apart when you married Jacqui? I have my work cut out for me...

...so does Jacqui apparently.
Yeah, I know, Cellar!

"Ignorance is poverty of the mind." What a hopeful thought, affirming as it does that, like poverty, ignorance need not be a permanent condition. Thanks, Kendall.

One of my oldest best friends is in the hospital, but he made it, and is coming home tomorrow.

My other oldest best friend Gordon Bok came by to visit. That's always a pleasure.

Then, I was talking to Pete Seeger on the phone about a new project and told me he has just written a new song. I was very surprised and tickled pink when he sang it to me! His voice is not what it was, but it was still the great man doing it.

I was thinking I would never hear him sing again. He wished me luck to get my voice back so I can sing again. What a guy!


Just think-- these guys probably went off thinking what a great day THEY were having, having talked to YOU.

Both of these men have perfected the art of being really human. I've heard it said that we are humans trying to learn to be spiritual, but I believe we are spiritual beings trying to be human.

I said it many times over the years that if there is such a thing as an angel on earth, Pete Seeger is one of them. He is so highly evolved he is awsome.I reminded him that it was he who gave me my first banjo lesson back in Gordon Bok's living room in 1969, and all he said was, "My, that was so long ago."
Talking to him was a real boost to my flagging spirit, and I awoke the next morning with a thought in my head that was boiled down to this: "Ignorance is poverty of the mind."

I'm betting Gordon and Pete felt they'd had a good day, too!

It's great to hear such good news.We hear so much of the opposite these days.
   Pete Seeger is my oldest and finest folk hero.I never had the honour of meeting or speaking to him personally.You are so blessed. May you have many more like days!So glad your friend is on the mend.

Kendall, what a fantastic day for you - good news on your friend's health & contact with 2 other friends, one of whom sings you his latest song!

while reading about my hero Pete Seeger I'm listening to Peggy Seeger talking about her upbringing & current tour - now they're playing her engineer song! If I wasn't heading out soon I'd play one of my Pete Seeger CDs.

You know kendall I had a similar day last July whereby I spent a fair amount of time with Ron Hynes and Bruce Murdoch. Shared a pint with them as well. That was a great great day for me. Not wanting to take away from your post but I just had to mention it.
