The dinner of champions. Baked hot wings. 😋

Good morning everybody. The big songs always seem to get the attention. But the real pretty songs are just the 3-5 minute songs that pack everything they need. This is one of the best Mountains of the moon out there. #GratefulDead youtu.be/_DU0C0_iucU?...

I was wondering why everyone was talking about #SonnyRollins today now I know. This was my intro to Sonny. Doxy, his tune on one of the greatest albums of all time. RIP youtu.be/f-OzHkKpaos

Good morning everybody. Getting close to the end of an incredible month. This one’s from close to home. youtu.be/I2TyJM_y81o

YouTube took me from ChinaRider 3/15/1990 to this. Their algorithm is getting wicked fierce. Tagging @roabrams.bsky.social because of her comment a little earlier. youtu.be/nU9viEhRMQQ?...

A new edition. It’s hard to put down everything there is to say about the mastery in one sitting. Later, you listen to something and sit up, “Whoa, I forgot all about that.” This includes some of what I forgot to say the first time around #GratefulDead #JerryGarcia open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...

Just looking over stuff on my Substack site. This one seemed worth resharing. #GratefulDead #PhilLesh Phil Lesh - the Keeper of the Lower Octaves in the Grateful Dead Strings Section open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...

I always thought this piece would elicit a lot of invitations to go boil my head. Somehow it doesn’t. open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...

I'm really not sure of the dates on this but it purports to be today 56 years ago, though that would have placed them in England which is where the Casey Jones is from. Still, it's a fun watch. #GratefulDead youtu.be/9ln4D3g_tqw?...

Another repost of an old article. This one pose, at the very least, a rather interesting and dare say radical proposition.

Good morning everybody A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBFh...

A restack of an old piece from a series on dry flies and trout. This one is going to get a lot of yelling and screaming. At least I hope it does, because it's pretty radical in what it says. But it's an argument worth having. #flyfishing #dryflies #trout substack.com/@cosmicjohn/...

In my mind there are always songs that define a band to me. For #Phish it's always been this one - Stash youtu.be/SEo4kjnPwgQ?...

Yep their algorithm definitely has some zapped neurons today. Dark Star >Moma Dance>Peggy-O. Though this one is special - my first. The wonders here are Bobby and Phil. Just listen to them. It’s a most wondrous thing. youtu.be/xGKk8YDYNpA?...

I don’t understand the YouTube song choice algorithm. But I’ll go with it for now. Dark Star > #MomaDance. All right then. 😁 But at least they got one from a really good show. #Phish youtu.be/L6bEVZ2oKZ4?...

A light strip wing style Spey-ish fly for spring steelhead. Those Alec Jackson hooks had a nice profile like the old CS10 Bartleets. Both now gone. Just my stash. #FlyFishing #FlyTying #Spey #Steelhead

Homemade pizza night last night. Fermented the dough a couple of days in the fridge. One Margherita and one with mushrooms and caramelized onions. Never can get them round. Gave up trying. Homemade sauce wit 4 ingredients. San Marzano tomatoes , olive oil, garlic, basil

Good morning everybody. Just a little itty bitty song to start off your weekend. youtu.be/aI384OjjF1c

Good morning everybody. There are legendary shows. Then there are things like this. This madness starts over 2 hrs into the show. Estimated > Eyes > Wharf Rat > Terrapin > Morning Dew>Sugar Mags. Another monster from 5/77. archive.org/details/gd19...

One last shameless plug of an old article. The next one is a real barn burner. #flyfishing #trout #dryflies substack.com/@cosmicjohn/...

One man, a microphone and an acoustic guitar. When they can do it it's something to behold. This is #GregLake (Of #ELP and #KingCrimson fame) from 1974. youtu.be/9TKmGEcV7jQ?...

I had restacked an article about trout vision that originally saw little interest. This one was the second in a 4 piece set. This one talks about how the trout’s vision affects its rise. It’s a part of a 4 part set on rising trout. A Trout Coming to the Surface open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...

Good morning everybody. There are parts of shows that are outstanding. Then there are ones like this. Starting at this He’s Gone this is going to Steal Your Face Right Off. There’s a Comes a Time in there that alone makes it all worth it. archive.org/details/gd77...

Today’s loaf. A dense sourdough batard. 900 gms of 50/50 sourdough starter with another 250 gms of strong flour added. Wife said the smell was driving her nuts. Cut it within 5 min of coming out of the oven and slathered it with butter. 😁 #bread #baking #sourdough

Good morning, or whatever the heck this is, everybody. Might as well report this sucker. This is one for the books. Has a great drums too. The UJB is unique. You'll see when you get there - none of this if BS.

It’s 2AM. Do you know where your children are? My night’s shot. Too wound up. #CSN #SuiteJudy youtu.be/ZGT0P0XJRFM?...

Good morning everybody. It’s been a long day and I’m finally off to bed. Happy Tuesday. This is a tough one to clip. You really want the segue from PITB > the inside out UJB. But where do you cut it. Better to just not. PITB>UJB. Do yourself a favor and listen this. youtu.be/8t5mu6E9W68?...

Shank and Tube Flies A look at big flies, often for big fish and why I've turned away completely from long shanked hooks. If nothing else this piece has pictures of big fish.😁 #flyfishing #flytying #trout #salmon #steelhead open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...

posted an article about summer fishing in the East last week. This old piece makes a sort of companion piece. Also Substack’s cute little algorithm says it’s time to republish it. #flyfishing #trout open.substack.com/pub/cosmicjo...
