I just want to wish all our friends and extended family a fine, happy safe and full of beautiful music weekend. I'll be there in spirit of course...I just ask one little thing...reviews please as soon as you can! All the best friends!
On a final note...Last week many of us got a chance to celebrate the birth of Jerry Garcia with a beautiful performance from our favorite band at Montage performing some great Garcia classics. This weekend we get a chance to reflect on his life...Tomorrow August 9th marks the eight anniversary of Jerry's passing. I know there are still a lot of us that appreciate his musical brilliance and everything he brought into our lives that simply transcend music. It seems like just yesterday I was following The Dead around the country looking for that certain cosmic experience that only The Dead could give us.
If you were there, you know what I'm talking about...If you weren't, you missed something really magical. We are so fortunate we still have The ABB to give us that little something we all need in life. Enjoy it the the fullest folks cause just like THAT... it could all be taken away from us. Imagine if the road didn't go on...forever.
These really are the Good Old Days...lets keep it going! Enjoy The Brothers!
Here is one of my favorites from Jerry...RIP Jerr!
_________"The Days Between"_________
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
There were days
and there were days
and there were days between
Summer flies and August dies
the world grows dark and mean
Comes the shimmer of the moon
on black infested trees
the singing man is at his song
the holy on their knees
the reckless are out wrecking
the timid plead their pleas
No one knows much more of this
than anyone can see anyone can see
There were days
and there were days
and there were days besides
when phantom ships with phantom sails
set to sea on phantom tides
Comes the lightning of the sun
on bright unfocused eyes
the blue of yet another day
a springtime wet with sighs
a hopeful candle lingers
in the land of lullabies
where headless horsemen vanish
with wild and lonely cries lonely cries
There were days
and there were days
and there were days I know
when all we ever wanted
was to learn and love and grow
Once we grew into our shoes
we told them where to go
walked halfway around the world
on promise of the glow
stood upon a mountain top
walked barefoot in the snow
gave the best we had to give
how much we'll never know we'll never know
There were days
and there were days
and there were days between
polished like a golden bowl
the finest ever seen
Hearts of Summer held in trust
still tender, young and green
left on shelves collecting dust
not knowing what they mean
valentines of flesh and blood
as soft as velveteen
hoping love would not forsake
The days that lie between, lie between
