Shot some goofy vid with the Canon SD800 IS digicam. Edited it up in Final Cut / iMovie then added some soundtrack action! Check it out, watch for the suprise at the end!

Google Earth Map of Hawes Trail
Putting in a plug for the ADEO Fitness companion GPS unit. (see the ad's on the right!) You can now easily download .KML or .GPX data once you upload your file to the Motionlingo/Trak website. Cool stuff here! This is a really neat gadget if you're into outdoor adventuring! Check it out!
Hawes Trail
Tom and I caught an early morning ride on Hawes, in east Mesa AZ. The clouds came in just about the time it really started warming up, which was nice! (kept the temps down for a while) Here's me looking better than later in the ride. Check the next post for a YouTube link where you can see all the carnage! :-)

40 Years ago today...
I do remember some of the songs but more from radio airplay a few years later.
(I only turned 3 in the fall of 1967)
Did see a copy of the vinyl in the local used bookstore the other day. Almost picked it up, but the thought of having to go haul the turntable out of storage, hook it up etc: got the best of me. Maybe I'll swing by on the way home and see if its still there? :-)

40 Years Ago Today
(one of the blog's comments....)
There is an interesting aspect of this record that most
younger people have never experienced. My first copy of
the LP was a monophonic copy, because the cheap phonograph
I owned could handle the sound of mono records better.
I always had a feeling that the sound of the mono release
was different in some way to the stereo release.
Not because all the sound came from one speaker,
but in the overall sound presentation.
Years later, I discovered that their producer,
George Martin, actually did mix their LPs differently
for mono and stereo. If you have to opportunity to hear
Pepper in mono, do it. The experience is quite remarkable.
One standout difference is in Lucy in the Sky. Te mono
mix has an almost fuller sound, almost Spector-ish, and
it swirls over the listener in a far more "psychedelic"
way than the stereo mix. In fact, I was so enamored of
that sound, it actually took me a long time to get used
to hearing Lucy in stereo.
I don't believe there's a commercial mono release on CD,
but I know there were bootleg versions floating around
for a while.
