And guess what? We (The Thanks) also played " For Yasgur's farm" It was sung by Ter, but he's no longer around and I'm very tempting to do this one for me in the near future (I'm quite busy hosting my brother-in-law who came over From Chiang Mai to visit us for 6 weeks and will be join by other brother-in-law from Chicago in a few days plus our lady friend from Chiang Mai, so not much time left for recording/uploading at YT for me at the moment). Just wait and see OK?

I'll finishing if off here, it's getting embarrass to keep talking about myself and the ancient history but what do you expect from an old man anyway, right????

Thanks so much Chad, I just read and responded to your PM. It's must be one of the BEST msg that I received this year

And I attached "For Yasgur's farm" for anyone who happens to read this thread. And Chad you can somehow kind of imagine how "Thanks" played this song in the past, imagine how Ter sang this one with his unique voice, and I must personally say "Gor" (Chalermkiat Amornsingha) my lated lead guitar was one of the best guitarists that I've ever came across. He didn't miss a note in this song. I missed him dearly;
This song has a sad ironic meaning to it too. Felix Pappalardi and Gail Collins his wife (who did all the pretty artistic cover of "Mountain" albums) were the co-writers of this and eventually Gail shot Felix to death in San Francisco with the gun that Felix gave it to her. Felix was one of my bass player idol and I've learned a lot from him.

Thanks again for everything you did for me, and we'll see how far it'll get

I changed my mind and grabbed my Santa Cruz, put Zoom q3hd on tripod and started shooting right away. After so many many years of not playing this song it wouldn't help to try to practice for another few days anyway, and transposed from key of A to G that's less strain for my old throat compare to 40 years ago

I know that you already knew the lyric of this song, but for the others who don't know. This is a song with very deep meaning for me and may be for few others too. So I put it up here

FOR YASGUR'S FARM
Who am I but you and the sun. A sad reflection in everyone
Was it me who let you walk away? Were you the one. Or is it we're the same

What are we in time going by. The simple story of a younger life
Happy dreams and somehow through the day. We haven't come so far to lose our way

Look at me, I believe it's true. You're a part of me, I'm a part of you

Love is only what we come to knew. The waking, breathing and all with you
A crystal passing reflected in our eyes. Eclipsing all the jealousy and lies

Quiet as the voices in a dream. Without two shadows the things I've seen
Remember the evening I let you walk away. Were you the one. Or is it we're the same

I wish you all have a safe and enjoyable trip to all those places.
Take lots of pictures

May I ask where did you reside in CA? When was it? And why you were there? But please feel free to ignore all of my curiousity if you don't want to reveal them.
