Yes,John,on a thread about pedal steel guitar here ,Toker mentioned how he liked NRPS.
Of course I agree,that was mountain music over here as well.
Saw those guys play in my hometown twice,smoked one with Buddy Cage.
The pedal steel slide in Henry was played by Jerry Garcia.
Man.

You can view all of my stuff (except for the photos which I posted to Supertopo server over the last year, which I stripped out as a matter of expediency to keep the rest alive) and that of everyone else who used off-site hosting for photographs.
Hacking your browser to see photographs on Supertopo
Your assuming anyone wants to spend time to figure out how to hack.
Sorry Tar, but if I need to hack or click on photos in a TR rather than have them embedded in the TR, I'll pass.

The New Riders of the Purple Sage recorded "Henry," whose chorus was our theme song when driving to and from Yosemite Valley in my Berkeley days:
"Now he's rollin' down the mountain goin' fast, fast fast.
And if he blows it, this one's gonna be his last.
Goin' to Acapulco, turn the golden key.
Henry keep your brakes on for this corner if you please!"

Ha ha!
Name that shoe!
Can't do it. Closest I can come is the La Sportiva Cliff? But it's not quite right, methinks.
The Honnold spoof is pretty darn good. I liked the GarageBand positioned on the summit, but it sort of reeked of too many financial resources.
He doesn't look as fast as Danno, though.
The key to Osman's speed was in the use of his legs.

My pictures of Ron, BTW: taken with a Polaroid!
How's that for retro chic?

Oh hell,
zB, since we are going all OT on Ron's sendoff thread:
Regarding your query:
I have saved three versions of the thread I was interested in.
Web complete
Web archive
PDF
How is fragility/portability being assessed here?
I do want to answer that, because Nut Again! explained it to me even better than I may have on my own.
I'll get back to you in a bit, after I prep my answer as clearly as I can. Watch this space, please?
After all, we could of course start a separate thread, but that would be way too sane & formalized and stuff.

Gang, the "hack" is pretty easy in the scheme of things. JLP deserves his own appreciation thread on supertopo for this alone.
1. Install the browser plugin "Custom Javascript for Websites 2":
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/custom-javascript-for-web/ddbjnfjiigjmcpcpkmhogomapikjbjdk?hl=en
2. Left-click on the 'cfs' icon in upper right to pop open a little window where you type in the "hack" code
3. Type in the code EXACTLY as shared in the picture from JLP. That's it!
It is a remote possibility that you have javascript disabled in your browser, but very unlikely. You would not have any normal modern websites working properly or nicely if you did that.
Note, the only reason you can't copy/paste in JLP's code is because it has some symbols that get mangled by forum text processing. So you have to look at his image and retype it yourself.
There is no magical scary stuff in that code... only "hacking" in the simplest sense of implementing a work-around. It takes all the supertopo content, and whenever it recognizes those links to external pictures, just replaces that HTML with the code to view the image inline rather than linking to it. For those who understand a little HTML, it just changes an "a href=" to an "img src=" type of html tag.
I understand the fear/stigma associated with the idea of a "hack" but really this is like using a little bailing wire to hold your muffler on your car.

Ron is an original, not a stamped out typical citizen. ST has a few like that which makes it an interesting place to come. They should be preserved here like endangered species are elsewhere.

Original? Hardly. More like a zoo of obsolete mindsets. Barney Fife type fellers with one bullet, sitting on the porch, all hissified and squealing when anything new upsets their white idyllic.

Thanks for explaining that, Nut Again!
For a while I had a browser plug-in that allowed me to see all of photobucket stuff from everyone instead of that annoying paywall notice.
Before I start archiving again, I'd like to find another one that gets rid of the photobucket watermark.
Doesn't seem to be available just yet?

When it comes to literature, history, or music few here belong at Ron’s campfire.

Wasn't his dad a renowned concert violinist?
Yeah, for sure:
https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/28/arts/julian-olevsky-is-dead-at-59-was-a-violinist-and-teacher.html
Julian Olevsky, a violinist who began his professional career at age 10, died of a heart attack Saturday at his home in Amherst, Mass. He was 59 years old ... He is survived by his wife, Estela Kersenbaum Olevsky, a concert pianist and a professor at the university in Amherst; a daughter, Diane, of Amherst, and two children by a previous marriage, Roxane Olevsky-Abercrombie, of Amherst, and Ronald Olevsky, of La Verkin, Utah; his mother, Augustina Schachmeister Olevsky, of Amherst, and two grandchildren.
 Thanks for chiming in, Nut Again! Ha ha. I should have called it a browser tweak.
