Now Playing: Cosmic Charley-the Greatful Dead
Topic: How do you do?
Today is the birthday of a dear old friend that I have, unfortunately, lost contact with. Cosmic Charley is another one of the people that I have known since dirt. Even though we haven't talked in a couple of years, I still "hear from" him regularly. I have a million Cosmic stories.
One of my favorite is when I went to his house in Tennessee on my way to Charlotte, NC for a Dead show. I got there pretty late, after a 12 hour drive and was sitting there catching up. His father walked in and Cosmic introduced me and I said "Hi, how are you?" He said (Tennessee accent and all) "Sounds like a yankee!" and left the room! I had heard about that kind of attitude but WOW!!! Apparently the Mason-Dixon Line runs right through their living room!!! Truly funny coming from the father of a long haired, tye-dyed, Jerry lover!!!
Happy Birthday Ancient One!!! See you in the fabric of time.
