Babbs currently lives on his farm in Dexter, Oregon (near Kesey’s house) with his wife Eileen, an English teacher at South Eugene High School. In 1994, he helped Kesey co-write The Last Go Round, about the oldest and largest rodeos in America.

I got my own bus for $400, a 1976 International, lived in the driveway on Glisan street for a couple months with my baby Surreal and her mom: the home on Glisan st with Jim Boyer, Bingo, and four other artists. Moved that bus to off grid 80 acre freedom, for nearly a decade.

When I went to his annual party a couple years back, the Dead were having their show, so
the usual hordes weren't in the Eugene area. I played fiddle with my buddies and Simon
Babbs who'd invited us down.

  We rode down there in style; cray ass Don in his big truck.  Another brother Babbs stuffed
in the  pickup, giving all kinds of stories I won't go into in further detail.  The party was fun,
if not as wild as I'd hoped. I got to play lots of music, slept in a hammock, as the field hosted
dozens of car campers.
