Flame to ashes to flame to ashes , the arcs and curves that make a life are many . True for Randy Adams . The truth may never be known 'cept for a few . But this much can be said . Exiled to California thru the 80's . 5 sets a night 6 days a week from Williston , North Dakota to South Padre Island , Texas . Every place in Wyoming except the good parts . A '69 Impala could hold all his possessions . 10 years was long enough in exile . Back home to Laurel in the 90's . Thus begun a string of mercenary engagements as a guitar player , singer and songwriter with such Washington D.C. area luminaries as Train of Thought . Mondays at the Grog and Tankard and forays into Alabama and the mysteries of the south . The Awakening at the Laughing Lizard Lounge . Ohio and The Wetlands in NYC . The proto jam band New Potato Caboose . Everywhere from St. Louis to Atlanta ( it snowed ) to Memphis , Tenesee . The Next Step and over 100 Monday nights at The Bayou in Georgetown . The Shadow World , loud and agressive . Dense electronic experimentation , The Resonance of Emptiness . Acoustic guitar reflections on the nature of impermanence and the transformation of death , " The Transmigration of Blind Joe Death " . The love of life , seeing through the eyes of a beautiful child and being in love with the world , " Meadowlark " . Spring is coming - followed by summer and The Watchers .
