Google’s Blogger took down my Juanita Musson memorial post at Olompali on April 3, 2011 stating it went against community standards. My Blogger post would’ve been dated on April 3, 2011, or sometime later that month. I am trying to resurrect bits of it via Facebook posts. I wonder if this iconic bathtub photo of Juanita is the reason why Google took my blog post down to begin with? How do I get it back?
From Facebook: It's been confirmed: Juanita Musson's Memorial Service is on Sunday April 3rd, 2011 Olompali Ranch in Novato—Noon to 3pm. Please wear bright muumuus & Hawaiian shirts! A cock or a monkey on your shoulder, bedpans of food and wild Juanita stories will do...what a peculiar tribe we've been! Juanita Musson's memorial at Olompali, Sunday, April 3, 2011. It was a Gate 5-ish reunion of sorts. Juanita stories abounded. Do you have a Juanita story or photos, etc? Post them here.
We were all trying to remember the 60's with little success — with Jerry Tomlinson, Yerushalmi Ben Yehudah, Larry Otis, Kurt Crowbar Kangas, Shannon Cinnamon McCloud, Stuart Ramsey, Lynn D Kircher, Neil O'Neill, Julia Brigden, Letitia Graves, Caron McCloud, Laurie Steese, and Shiloh Sophia. (Stuart's gone now...)

If you had complained, she would've walloped you with a frying pan. Then it wouldn't matter at all. 'Course if you were blottoed, she could've crowned you one and you wouldn't have noticed!
We met a lot of folks at the memorial that sort of knew, or people who looked familiar, or we were at the same place/time thing. I recognized Jerry Tomlinson who lived at Rancho Olompali when it was a Grateful Dead commune. I remember going to parties there, wading in the grotto. Before that, I got my saddle fixed there—so it was a three-wave tier of memory rolling in.
We went to Sonoma and partied late into the night. Our host, Tim was a friend of Norton Buffalo's—so sad to see Norton's Ovation guitar silent, by the fireplace. Neil sang. We walked in the sculpture garden. Amazing place over the hill from Beltaine Ranch. One woman Caron, was with Greg Davis in the wayback days—so her kids were related to an old flame of mine, Geoff Davis! Another woman I met went to school with my brother Guy. Shannon McCloud. We all trundled up to Sonoma—Nuns Canyon and drank and feasted until the stars sighed. https://picasaweb.google.com/MoHurleyArt/RelaisDuSoleil#
I'm uploading the last of the photos now. Two more folders to go. I'll leave them all at the end of the album so it's easier to distinguish them form the earlier ones (I had 3 cameras going—and Neil had one too). https://picasaweb.google.com/MoHurleyArt/JuanitaMemorial#
