So, yeah; there we are at the spot and a guy had just come by and given us each a couple oysters. It was the first time I had ever just sucked a raw one out of it's shell, fresh from the sea, which you can taste...
When you're tripping; you can taste, smell and become transported to St. Augustine; vicariously through a guy who had been with the band that was packing up when Jacob and I were heading for as far as the wall at Royal and Orleans, if we had to.

He had been playing percussion with them and wound up doing a few songs with us; but he was from Saint Augustine, Florida; where I once spent a quality year.
I thought he might have been "The Boogie Man," as I looked him over and age-progressed the Boogie Man 18 years in my mind..
I'm talking about a one man band type guy who played banjo and harmonica but who also had percussion stuff rigged up through foot straps. He basically had enough going on to inhabit the "amazing" plane, and would always do pretty well in America's oldest city..
But I thought it so amusing; after he said St. Augustine, for me to notice the resemblance and then blurt out: "Are you the Boogie Man?!"
But, there are 6 oyster shells; so I will say the guy who turned out to not be the Boogie Man was with us when the oyster guy came around and gave us free oysters...
Before the guy came and gave us free windowpane cid; right after Owlsly's heart...
But the song that is hopefully linked here is Jacob and I on the first night of the year; 1-1-26
But it is bookended by me playing around digitally with some of it to make an intro and outro using technology
