  The Golden West Beckons

Y'all should plan your vacation to California around August 1st.

You've heard of the Seinfeld tour put on by the "Real Kramer", well this is the Daniel Amos tour, where you can live the ultimate DA experience!

All DAmbers interested (and attending) will get a "Star Map" of sorts with some major TST landmarks mapped out for your own personal Stalker Tour. In just one weekend you can:

- Visit Buffalo Hills (yes, it's a real place) where Terry and Ed took their kids for little league games
- Walk the campus of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa (The Carnegie Hall of Christian venues) where it all began
- Stroll Olvera Street to sample those wonderful taquitos
- Interrupt the mighty grunion's life course
- Light candles at the Fabulous Green Room in Huntington Beach (Ok, so it's a surf shop. They sold Gene's house, whaddaya want from me)
- Stand at the feet of John Wayne and beg for supplication
- Avoid the needles as you body surf Capistrano Beach
- Stop at the Mystery Spot
- Listen to Scully in Bakersfield,
- Eat the Chili Onion Supreme at Wally's Weiner World
- And take the California Aqueduct on down to Disneyland!

This is the road trip you'll tell your grandkids about.

All this with a Terry Taylor/Mike Roe Backyard BBQ in the mix? How could you go anywhere else?

E-mail me if you're on your way.









By the way, that's not all. Still, more details to come!

Jiminy,

As a mid-westerlily you apparently don't understand the mystery and majesty of the sparkling American road. Out here in the true west, we have a heritage of discovery that caused our ancestors to seek the frontier. I offer you a chance to see, feel and taste the land that inspired much Uncle Terry's music and life. If that seems like too much activity for you then by all means, stay home.


to coin a phrase...

Sleep, silent child. Depart.







To the rest of you,


Draw back blue curtains of sky and drive!

Drive!

Out here in the smoggy west, we have a heritage of nauseateing air that caused our ancestors to seek the pepto-bismol. I offer you a chance to see, feel and taste the smog that inspired much of Weird Al's music and life. If that seems like too much in-activity for you then by all means, stay home and enjoy the beautiful lakes. to coin a phrase... Sleep, in fear of your last breath my child. Depart. To the rest of yous, Draw back blueberry pie and driver ! Driver is cool!

LOL

We need an observer at both locations!

I'm seriously thinking about renting a car to drive to LA, then flying out of LA to MN and then home to Phx...

Can you pick me up at the airport?


Anyone looking to buy some old Larry Norman jun... stuff? If I can sell a bunch of stuff on ebay or something I might get enough cash to do this.

will the golden girl of the golden west be there??? )


The Golden Girl of the Golden West

from the album "Zoom Daddy"
Words & Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven, Jerry Chamberlain and Tim Chander
©1988 Broken Songs

she's a pistol packin' mama and a bleach blond surfer queen
a highfalutin' filly and an adolescent's fling
she was born at sutter's mill and killed up on the silver screen
she opens up her golden gate and offers us a dream

na na na na na na...

she's a powder snow bunny and a painted desert rat
an avocado model in a boysenberry hat
she's our buffed and sprangled banner, she's our sedentary fat
she's hungry cold and homeless, and she's luxury's lap

chorus
she's the golden girl of the golden west
a lipo-sucking diva with a saline chest
she's the golden girl of the golden west
a fashion island floozy in a skin tight dress
she's the golden girl...

one man's blessing and another man's curse
she's an economic engine with her gears thrown in reverse
she's a double beef burger called "the double patty hearse"
she's a napa valley vineyard selling toast and liver worse

na na na na na na...

she's a corporation raider on the sports bar beat
a giant dodging forty-niner with two athletes feet
she's a warrior and an angel and a ram in heat
she's a drunken clipper captain with a silicon leak

chorus

na na na na na na...

she's a bleeding heart madonna with a big electric chair
an earth shaking quaker with a fundamental flair
there's a method to her madness and a charismatic air
an orthodoxly logic in that presbytery stare

so come all you huddled masses, all you yo-yosimite sams
make a wish and pitch a penny off the mighty hoover dam
yeah and leave it all to beaver and start packin' up the van
take the california aqueduct on down to disneyland

chorus
