JRL DUDE!

[Bushpig]

Pop this one in your pipe and smoke it dude,

GRATEFUL DEAD 'RIPPLE' (AMERICAN BEAUTY)

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps theyre better left unsung.
I dont know, dont really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then whos to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da.

Thanks guys. As Piggers knows it's been a rough week for me and mine. My dear friend Moose, a bartender I worked with hundreds of nights passed away last week. I just got back from his memorial now.

He was a great soulful, big hearted guy as the couple hundred people that showed up would tell you.

RIP my friend!
