    I don't know who that guy is. It could be me except he's missing a 12 gauge. Other than that he looks set. Ahhh...a lazy afternoon on the ranch.

    It's ColonelJessup. Search for some of his earlier posts and you'll get a pretty good idea what he's smoking.

    If you're familiar with the term synesthesia, I watched Dino Valente and QuickSilver at the Fillmore one night in late 19??. The notes were liquid and plastic and everyone was "in tune" at 250mg. I think it was there that I met @FredWeinberg, unless it was Ten Years After at my first Long Beach showr in '79. I brought this up because @Fred, who is surely wise enough to not join this discussion, recently had some posters graded. He assures me he remembers where he got them ;) and that redolence evoked a great deal of nostalgia. Hopefully he'll enjoy seeing this one. B)

    That grass is a hybrid. It's a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

    Rick, it wasn't Quicksilver MS - so, it might have been Ten Years After (Long Beach)

    Heritage picked up 220 Fillmore/Avalon posters from me last month, and I assume
    they'll be up in another month or so - I think most will be going to NGC for grading
    (except the very large ones). Yes, not only do I remember who I bought them from
    in the very early '80's, I kept the invoices - HA might have fun with my purchase prices.

    And yes, that poster above was in my collection - but in much better condition !

    I hadn't posted to this thread till now, because all I would have done was cause
    more memory triggers! Or forgotten times.........
