Twirl Girls and Dead Reckoning @Dogtown
I’m always Grateful when Dead Reckoning comes to town. Dog town that is.
Dead heads were bobbing and twirl girls were spinning. Everyone was singing along.
Another twirl girl. Yours truly.
The term Dead Reckoning is a navigation term, meaning the determination without the aid of celestial observations of the position of a ship or aircraft from the record of the courses sailed or flown, the distance made, and the known or estimated drift. Sounds about right.
One finger raised is Grateful Dead code for “miracle ticket.”
Part of the fun of a night of dancing to Grateful Dead music is looking at the pictures and watching the video clips the next day.
This Bobby/John Barlow song (Throwing Stones) is a good one for today: And the whole world full of petty wars… Singing I got mine and you got yours… So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones… And the politicians throwing stones …Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down …Ashes, ashes, all fall down…
And shake them we did!

If the game is lost, then we’re all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shining ball of blue we call our home
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Looks like fun I’m going out with Pam on Friday – she is a dead head – I’ll play a couple of these and see what she thinks. Sounds good to me!
