Fellow Busriders... 
Lately I have been archiving, gathering stacks of Dads artifacts from improbable places around the farm.  I pile these in Dads office where Mom, Stephanie, Sunshine and Shannon clean and sort the piles of manuscripts, art, notes, journals, letters, doodles, photos, newspaper clippings, costumes, props, posters, film canisters, and various video and audio tapes.  We are doing this partly for the IRS…. so they can tax us heavily on the street value on this estate list that we must provide, and partly because the stuff was deteriorating in the moisture and farm dust where sat.  A couple boxes of dusty, faded labeled, unboxed cassette audiotapes became one of my side jobs, to sorted them and transfer them to CD.  On these tapes are some very intimate moments with Dad…up late talking or singing into the microphone.  There is a whole category he called "Nintendo Poetry", he would gather every Casio keyboard and  drum machine around and play them all at once with a rapid chaotic tempo.  Into this mayhem Dad would sing old folksongs or favorite poems or even make up a song or poem in the moment, getting lost in reverb and echo till the roosters start crowing.  Some of the pearls are actually pretty good...even professional…a real look into Dads mind as he fills the gaps of his late-night insomnia.  Here it is at last

Neal Cassady driving Further into NY on the NJ Turnpike June 25, 1964. Here it is! Never before released Neal Cassady rapping and driving Ken Kesey’s bus Further into New York in the summer of 1964. Kesey and the Merry Band of Pranksters were making a movie of the trip and were filming and recording everything. Cassady is at his best in this recording that starts out at about 100 miles from New York and ends up 50 miles closer. The film that goes with this recording is in the process of being edited together. This CD mastered from the original tape includes everything from the first part of Cassady’s famous NJ Turnpike rap. Part 2 will be coming soon to complete the Turnpike recordings from the vault of Ken Kesey.

ACID TEST VOL.2 
SANFRANCISCO STATE 10/1/66
Item #A21 
One week before the law that made LSD illegal in California was to take effect; Ken Kesey snuck back from his hideout in Mexico to attend the San Francisco State College Acid Test.  Word on the street was that Kesey had made a deal.  He didn’t!  The set-up was with Kesey, Jerry, Mt. Girl etc. off in a different hidden room secretly microphoned and wired so people could hear him and he could hear them and interact with the crowd in the auditorium.  This didn’t happen until around 4am.  All of this was being broadcast by the local radio station that also recorded it with a professional reel-to-reel tape recorder.  Ed Perlstein recently found this gem preserved in the Bay Area Music Archives, and sent a digitally re-mastered (but unaltered) DAT. Nest generation Prankster Simon Babbs has enhanced, the sound, divided it into tracks, and created CD through Intrepid Trips, he burns these CDs individually for you. Versions of this Acid Test have emerged through the years from amateur recordings of the broadcast, but this CD with its pristine recording from the location are a window into time!  With Ken Kesey on guitar and vocals, Dale Kesey on violin, Hugh Romney (Wavy Gravy) and Mountain Girl (Carolyn Garcia) backup and side-pranks, Jerry Garcia on Organ, and Steve Newman was engineering.

ACID TESTS VOL. 1.
Item #A01
By the Merry Band of Pranksters By Kesey, Babbs, and the Pranksters. A CD, re-release of the hard to find Acid Test LP. A studio recording session, from San Francisco in 1965. The Pranksters took over the place early in the evening and finally had it wired to their satisfaction early in the morning. The "Band" kept getting higher as the recording progressed, by dawn the tracks had been laid down, and the studio owner had gone irreparably mad. Also on this CD is the only other "professional" studio recording by the Pranksters, called "Red White and Blue Meet Black." This is an invitation for the Hells Angels to join the Pranksters in La Honda for a....bash. Editing, dubbing and mixing were done while hiding in Mexico later that year. Slated to be released in 1967, the record company got scared, so it sat in the archives, till now.
 $17.00.
