Having breakfast at Flo's Airport Café at the Chino Airport where they still let you park your rig. In the shadow of The Planes of Fame as well as those infamous prisons, both womens and childrens . . .<BR/>Enjoyed another great hike in your paradise of a state just a week ago after a delivery to Walla Walla, Washington. Hiked the Horsetail Falls to Triple Falls Trail along the Columbia River Gorge. Renews ones belief. Keeps me going.<BR/><BR/>Adiós from Flo's, one of the few remaining <BR/>holdouts of old America . . .<BR/><BR/><BR/>-STSaddle Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640646036914910941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-15976672756768573842008-10-31T13:38:00.000-07:002008-10-31T13:38:00.000-07:00Off topic:Hey Tom & ST — when you roll through...Off topic:<BR/><BR/>Hey Tom & ST — when you roll through LA, check out the new special exhibit at the Autry Museum. Bold Caballeros y Noble Bandidas — Mexican popular culture influenced by tales of social bandits and the Revolution. I'm planning a trip down there to see family and catch this — runs November through May 10.<BR/><BR/>http://www.autrynationalcenter.org/boldcaballeros/editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298399110078317876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-34783613937669463632008-10-27T12:58:00.000-07:002008-10-27T12:58:00.000-07:00Eager to hear the new songs.What's worse than beco...Eager to hear the new songs.<BR/><BR/>What's worse than becoming the bloody people we came here to escape is that we're trying to turn everybody else into the same bloody people we came here to escape.editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298399110078317876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-60987682263060910892008-10-27T08:19:00.000-07:002008-10-27T08:19:00.000-07:00TomI was at your show at the Luminaire (you may ha...Tom<BR/><BR/>I was at your show at the Luminaire (you may have noticed me; tall bloke quite excited during Tonight We Ride). Wonderful stuff as always - new songs both great (I spent the first two years of my life in Nigeria ). My parents-in-law were at the Gateshead show and my best friend at Brighton. All impressed. Next time you head this way I might get on a plane to Belfast. Sounds incredible.

Your Anthology and Dylan's new bootleg along with many others are waiting for me at the Post Office. Regarding the new song. Yes! I wrote two years ago ;<BR/>" What if we have become the enemy we were once against. " The air has changed. The wind is blowing a different song and the masses march off like lemmings . . .<BR/>Meanwhile The Rennaisance Man and Travelling Minsrel brings it to us. TR, the Wind has it that the ghost of Bill Miner ( stagecoach and train robber ) haunts the tracks in Canada. It is widely held that he coined the phrase <BR/>" Hands Up ! " The San Quentin dungeons could not break him and Canadian prisons and others could not hold him. He is a master criminal so if you hear those words, just throw down your guitar, put èm up and give up the goods.<BR/>Train whistles across Canada . . .<BR/><BR/><BR/>-ST<BR/>Listening to a taste of Britain here with Andrew Loog Oldham on Sirius Disorder where satellite radio still offers a glimmer of hope and fading freedom. We are badly outnumbered, but one can still make a difference, in spite of as the railroad trainmaster used to tell me " that's a left-handed move for us " when I requested a special switch of cars.
