   “Franklin’s Tower”
   Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
   Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission

       In another time’s forgotten space
       your eyes looked through your mother’s face
       Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
       may the four winds blow you safely home

       Roll away … the dew
       Roll away… the dew
       Roll away… the dew
       Roll away… the dew

       You ask me where the four winds dwell
       In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell
       It can ring, turn night to day
       Ring like fire when you lose your way

       Roll away… the dew . . .

       God help the child who rings that bell
       It may have one good ring left, you can’t tell
       One watch by night, one watch by day
       If you get confused just listen to the music play

       Roll away… the dew . . .

       Some come to laugh their past away
       Some come to make it just one more day
       Whichever way your pleasure tends
       if you plant ice you’re gonna harvest wind

       Roll away… the dew . . .

       In Franklin’s Tower the four winds sleep
       Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
       Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
       May the four winds blow you home again

       Roll away… the dew
       Roll away… the dew
       Roll away… the dew
       Roll away… the dew
       You better roll away the dew

     Drummer Terence Higgins with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has the funk during a sound check.

   Chris Potter with Dave Holland. A tiny fraction of a solo, but still worth a gawk.

   Hey Boo- or for that matter-anyone! Since the newest member of the “phony generals club” has a new member- Sanchez- has anyone compiled a list of all the generals that have spoken out againt the Iraqi Abortion?

   If you want to see some good music films, there’s a whole bunch of concert films of all different types over at Filmschatten. These are complete concert films, not just clips.

   http://filmschatten.blogspot.com/search/label/Music

   Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Curtis Mayfield, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chili Peppers, Neil Young, Hendrix, Doors, Dylan’s Eat the Document, old r&b, 50s rock flicks, punk, bluegrass, soul, all kinds, too many to list. Lots of other movies as well. All kinds, from all over the world, going back to the silent days. One of my favorite new sites. Highly recommended.
