One of Pigpen's absolute FINEST vocal performances! 💀🐖

Can be heard on his beautiful, powerful rendition of The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion) on the night of 4/26/72. Pig just bears it all - a stunning version of, sadly, only 13 live performances. The *only* glitch, in this otherwise singular version, is that the rest of the fellas fail to come in, in unison and on time, for the essential ending "woah oh, woah ohhhhh...refrain".

For that, there is only ONE version: 5/24/72. But it's not on the IA...first hardcore trivia Head to tell the rest of us where to hear that one gets a trophy!!

The "Twining Memo" was officially released, by the U.S. Government, as part of the first batch of file releases, ordered by the Executive Branch. For any of the detractors and debunkers who ever called the authenticity and veracity of this VERY important 1947 memo into question, you were wrong.

Cue the video segment to the 5:30 mark to cut to the chase.

Where ingenuity meets medical MJ use (inside van conversion RV, with NO smells!!) meets Grateful Dead music and a morning coffee. She's On The Road Again!

EXHIBIT A: 4" collapsible tubular ducting attached to a $6 plastic bin "hood," friction fit into van's roof vent, with exhaust suction capturing any errant smoke tendrils.

The "copper and leather contraption" aka "The Mini SCOOB" (Self Contained Offensive Odor Buster) is a device of my own creation, cobbling together various components to draw smoke downward, with an inline, speed controllable, fan forcing the smoke and stink through a SmokeBuddy and exiting, smoke and smell-free, out of the stainless steel cup/base. A 2nd SmokeBuddy captures the exhalations.

I also built a full-sized SCOOB, using a larger carbon air filter and forced fan design, on a wheeled cart for my garage/workshop, and another in a repurposed wheeled check-on travel bag, for portability (the Scooby Doobie - featured in red travel bag).

But, ultimately, I needed a very compact unit for road trips that didn't require its own luggage. And voilá - the Mini SCOOB was developed! Works flawlessly.

Add some Peet's Gaia Organic brew and some 11/11/73 and it's off to a fine, fine morning!

P.s., a Happy belated 80th Bday wish to the last OG standing! Happy Birthday, Billy. We ALL march to the beat of your drum, man! Some of us, most every day!!

Found at an eatery in lovely Santa Barbara, CA. "I'll have the Joe's Scramble, coffee and a lil' Jerry 🐯❤️, please!"

Now up, in a permanent spot in The Van (aka, MaryJane). Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile!

And the son says "Dad, do you believe in UFOs?"

Dad: "No."

Son: "Why not?"

Dad: "I've never seen one."

Son: "Do you believe in narwhals?"

Dad: "Of course I do, son. They're real animals, here on Earth, not some crazy looking ship from outer space."

Son: "Have you ever seen one?"

Dad: "No, but we've all seen pictures and videos, from reliable sources, like National Geographic, of narwhals."

Son: " Well, Dad, we can all *also* see pictures and videos, from reliable sources, like National Geographic AND hear testimony from growing numbers of high ranking and decorated military personnel and government whistleblowers, of UFOs."
