Today would have been/ is the 70th birthday of Jerry Garcia…a man who changed my life and many others. You live on, great man, and thank you.
….and if you’re dying to know where the jam goes…..
Ah, it’s that time of year again. Thanks for sharing more of Jerry’s music with us to honor him.
Another anniversary comes around. It’s good to relive some great moments again. Glad you like it,Ré.
Another year gone by, eh?
At least we’re still here
SMM – Thanks for the post on Jerry. I posted a blog about him myself today and have some of solo stuff in the player right now. Peace.
Please don’t throw a rock across the pond at me, but I have never heard one song from The Grateful dead.. but I’ll still say HBD Mr Jerry!!!
Well, Lynne, that’s honest !
I thought everybody in the US had some Dead in them. A bit like everybody in the UK has heard at least one Beatles song. Well, there’s not better time than the present. 
I didn’t know of Grateful Dead until I stumbled across the beautiful Peggy-O. Was suprised that a band with a name that sounds more akin to heavy metal were responsible for such a lovely sound.
Glad you liked it, Phoenix. Yes, many people who’ve never heard them think that it’s heavy metal or something. Now you can enlighten them too.
hey..It’s me again.. saw this and thought of you!!
