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 :):):):):):):):)
