Summer's here, and the time is right ...
_________________________________________

Let me start by saying - IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!

Greetings to all my phine phriends. It is indeed comforting to return to the ZONE and find the community has only grown larger, tighter, and closer. Community has always been and will always be such an integral part of the human experience. Why for that matter, for all of Life's creatures experience. Part of evolution. Just as birds fly together, fish swim together, ants build together, bees maintain together - humans also need to be together. Even in times of conflict, when forces seem to push us away, we still come together as the gigantic evolving organic mass we are.

On that note, I'm sure I share a similar jubilance knowing that in a few short weeks the summer music scene kicks in full force packed with phestivals, phun, and about every one of your phavorite bands you can catch, if you have the time. Wait a minute...don't have the time? Well, MAKE THE TIME! Time is the moment pholks and when the bands playing and community is happening, there's nothing phiner!

Just as the Rider has been quiet the past 6 months, contemplating the ever-changing world we live in, the voice of our closest phriends and phamily has also been quiet. It's been months since we've been graced with yet another incarnation of the WARLOX. To the chagrin of some and to the excitement of others, none-the-less, it's just damn phine to know we can *STILL* follow the DEAD!! Are you with me? I thought so. ;-)

And what better way to catch the vibe again than with old and new phriends. We have the smoking Joan Osborne along for the RIDE as well as an incredible cache of guest talent featuring such legends as Bobby D, Willie, Hunter, and Steve Winwood.

So get your game on. Get those coolers out. Dust off those tents. Here comes that old familiar smell of BBQs, patchouli, and the DANK. Get reddy to walk the walk, see old friends and make new ones. Score a new lot-tee or some ice cold Sammy Smiths - summer's here, and the time is right for DANCIN IN THE STREETS!

Well the Rider is certainly reddy to roll out and catch as many shows as possible.

What shows will YOU catch??

See ya in the lot,
Rolling Rider
