Took a deserted backroad home from the Flagstaff arizona festival last weekend, pulled off for a break, narrowly escaped with my life when these dinosaurs attacked, didnt have any cheese to throw at them so used what I had. Whew!

Got a photo of several flying saucers landing way south of Don Griesers place but the pics were distorted by #electromagnetic interference,or something....just happy to get home safe. Those logs in the background are pertified, tho not with fear.

I hear the sleestax invented the two finger chords! Great pictures, Bill. Jurrasic Park V - Rise of the String Band.

Hey Bill,

I was wondering if this fella played the mando-cello. I know that Mike Marshall mentioned that at one time these "large mandolins" roamed the earth too!!!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Judging by the length of the arms, I'm guessing mando-bass!

I wonder how good a couple of those teeth would be for making nuts and bridge saddles?
