back in the usa baby

blogging live from a van speeding down the road
ooh i get vertigo writing n moving
i soul oscillating
i firmament bridge
i toll collector
i fellow traveller czech
i mossy station
no mr you wanted plattsburgh
its about five miles back that way
this is the end of this tour
the last ride
the end of this story
and the beginning of all others
corridor of trees
we drive towards green hills
and blue mountains
my last day in america for a while
port kent
ausable chasm
camping exit 35
food exit 35

work yer way up to a highway)
avalon cars
mysterious little green signs with just numbers
ausable forks

a beautiful land think with the greenest trees
pines n trees i dont know
i dont know my american trees
but theyre magnificent
yeah

what do i feel?
i dunno
hysterically happy then sad that its over
on my own tomorrow
just like a big boy
no more comfort in the bosom of a little gang
on my own
my oh my own
my own my oh my
hyde road
such gorgeous country
white houses in green fields
it could be scandanavia
but the air is ominous
the sky is grey and heavy
i the stranger is leaving
i tomorrow gone
in transit
disappeared in a tin tube portal
reappear in sweden next day
meet the twillies
see the difference between 17 n 18
westport
see a cosy house nestled in some trees
why couldnt i live there
oblivious of kilbey
who drives me mad
voice in another room : ah but then you wouldnt have nk...
slower traffic keep right
suddenly guilty for past thefts
everything affects me
i am superstitious
i am cautious in all things
no u turn
blue mountains
white clouds
dense foliiage

Listening to #23 for the second time today. Can't get enough! Pangaea is simply stunning. Like a beautiful sigh ...
Sad to hear you'll be leaving my beloved (and hurting) America for a while, but you have family waiting.
Stay healthy, stay safe and thanks, Steve, for your continued blogging.

Steve,
I don't mean this in a bad way but if you and Marty where stoned and saw this picture 20 years ago you'd be laughing your asses off going NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!
You guys are the best, you've fought the good fight and now it's time to GO COMMERCIAL dudes write some frickin' pop tunes you guys have the chops,the hooks. the harmonies no one could ever accuse you guys of selling out.
As for the road trip;
Lake Placid has Paul Smiths College a stoners paradise. It's a forestry management school. They tend to manage forests of marajuana there. Ya should of pulled over and drove throught the campus. You would have scored some good weed!
Peace FSF
Just took a walk down to the local music shop. There was a "The Church" section with U#23 in it. When I bought Hindsight a few months ago, it was in "Misc C".
As a fellow member of the bargain bin, I know this is pretty thin gruel -- BUT it IS growth.
Keep
plugging
away
Did you have something else to do?
Thanks for coming to the states. Annapolis was fantastic -- even if you didn't play "that good song".
;-)
Thank You
to the circle
of musicians
who are The
Church
My life is
enriched,
exploring this
stream
from which
all tributaries
flow
my love and
safe travels
homeward,
everywhere
that is

Oh look! There’s Marty too!
That’s an odd reflection in the window. Looks like some kinda animal?
What y’all hauling in that van? :-D
Love the van photo - hah. Van Womb, with the comfort of the gang.
Ride the silver seed into the sun towards Sweden tomorrow. Always liked that Neil Young line, "flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun."
Enjoying the blog. Thanks for sharing.

i always loved that adirondack territory. used to go hiking every summer down near lake placid, mt ampersand, haystack mountain, climbed whiteface mtn a few times (once getting caught in blizzard). beautiful country down there.
Tell Marty to put his seatbelt on...!
it's weird seeing you guys with reading glasses. makes me feel old!!
Ah, professor bad-eyesight one?
can you ask professor bad-eyesight two (located directly behind you) how he grows that beard?
Answers to be found on the stellar new diskette...
