GRATEFUL DEAD- The motif of a cycle of folk tales which begin with the 
hero's coming upon a group of people ill- treating or refusing to bury 
the corpse of a man who had died without paying his debts. He gives his 
last penny, either to pay the man's debts or to give him a decent burial. 
Within a few hours, he meets with a traveling companion who aids him in 
some impossible task, gets him a fortune, saves his life, etc. the story 
ends with the companion's disclosing himself as the man whose corpse the 
other had befriended.
     
From Funk and Wagnals New Practical Standard dictionary of the English 
Language, Britannica World Language Edition, Volume One, 1955. The 
Grateful Dead- then called the worlocks- took their name from this 
dictonary in 1965. .
    Just some fun tidbits. -Jeff

The earliest recording I came across of "Spoonful Blues" is by Charlie
Patton in the late 20's.  Yazoo L1020 (that's vinyl; I don't know
what/whether they've reissued in CD).    The lyrics can be found
in a transcription by Stefan Grossman in one of his blues books
(Oak Pub?).

[I think some other versions of it by others from that era were
also made.  I know eg Mance Lipscomb sang it too.]

>don't know about Down to the Bottom, but I'll bet it's Willie's).

Not!  Sure, it's credited to him on the records, but listen to
different versions (of which there are many) besides Howlin'
Wolf's; I stand by what I said, that it's another form of Walkin'
Blues (of which there are also many versions).

Incidentally I think Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett) & Charlie
Patton (& Robert Johnson & a lot of other people) were from
the same place in Mississippi, or near, but I can't verify that.
No idea where Willie Dixon came from.

Try 1-800-CAL-DEAD they have them for $30.00.  I was at the beach this
weekend (Bethany beach on the atlantic) and a store called The Octopus's  
Garden had them for $27.  Check your local head shop for details.  If you
do get one you might want to wash it by hand first.  Some of the green dye
came out of mine when I did.

A Deadhead handshake?

Friday night I was cruising a local video emporium when a dude circled me a
couple times, came to a stop, smiled big and said "Hey, nice shirt!".  I was
wearing a "Mexicali Blues" Tee I got for my birthday last year.

Now, what he REALLY wanted to say was "Hey Now!  I'm a deadhead too!" etc.,
etc., etc.  Has this ever happened to you?  You're out on the street, in a
store, or in an airport, and you see someone with a telltale T-shirt (can't
trust tie-dye anymore, though) and you say something lame like "Nice T-shirt!".
 But what you really want to say is, "Hey Now! Got a list?  Any crispy new
boards lately?" or "Any news about Jerry?" or some such rave, to *connect* and
convey that the two of you have something deep and special in common.

So it's made me think:  Maybe we should have a handshake ;-) or some special
(not secret, mind you) gesture or phrase ;-), to let each other know, when we
meet out there, that we share this special passion.  Feelings for this band run
pretty deep, as well for their music, for the lifestyle some feel they
represent, or at least for the way of treating eachother with such impressive
fairness as is USUALLY evident on r.m.gd (recent nonsense notwithstanding) and
within the taping community.  Just saying "nice shirt, man" doesn't usually do
it for me.

(I must not have enough to do, or am unsufficiently supervised, if I have time
for posts like this.  Well, I can always say someone's violated my account and
is posting in my name, since that's becoming The Rule around here!)

Here's to better vibes in r.m.gd!

Yes, please.  I spent all of last Summer defending poor people accused of
crimes, nearly all of whom were black, and none of whom were my own color.
I was paid $250 a week to do this.

I spent most of Labor Day weekend with a black woman, whom I like very much,
and who I hope to see again.

I threw a locksmith out of my home (leaving it still unsecured after a
burglary) because he used a racial epithet aimed at black people.

I am also Republican National Committee member number 90050367.

Jeff, don't you dare try to equate my party with racism.  Racists are
everywhere, and they survive because of the easy belief in stereotypes.
There's no need for you to help preserve yet another one.

I've never been a sysadmin of a commercial bbs, but I imagine that
that's one big problem that that they have.  Unsophisticated users
probably set up passwords on their accounts that are easy to crack,
such as a common word in the dictionary, or maybe their social

be forged by a sophisticated user.  === Al Sparks

Well, if the poor schmuck had his account compromised by technical problems

it's hardly the account owner's fault.  As I said in my earlier response to

And isn't it terrible how much of Son House's music has been ascribed to
Robert Johnson? And how much of the guy that Son House copped his stuff from's
stuff has been ascribed to Son House? 
Blues and folk are both music which have their roots in what Humanities
professors like to call the oral tradition- the words are to a large part
formulas, which are used to express a given situation. When you're making up
a song as you go, it's helpful to have a large vocabulary of couplets to 
put in while you think of a new one, or a new twist on an old one.
In short, don't worry so much about who wrote it, because they stole it from
someone else anyway.
