Happy Jerry Day all!!!
Don't forget to remember the man who played us the tunes as you celebrate in whatever fashion you prefer. I miss him terribly and still can't believe that the world keeps spinning along without him.
In my crazy years he kept me sane, and in my sane ones he keeps me crazy. Wherever you are Jerry, I hope you're doing kind.

Nope, no mouse.

Saw them back in '85 or 86. Played two nights, both shows were sold out. It's funny, I enjoyed hanging out with the deadheads who followed them around about as much as the concert.

Yeah I did, somewhere between 50-70 times between 86-94. Just about any time the Dead played within 200 miles me and the friends would all head out. I miss Alpine Valley and can't believe I'm going to be skipping out on the upcoming reunion of the remaining members there. (Mom-things do NOT have time for Dead shows.  )
Before you ask, I'm pretty sure I've went to a show in about every popular chemically altered state, and I've also went to a number of 'em totally clean & sober. Everytime was magical & special, and every single show is an event and a golden memory of mine. (Albeit a bit foggy at times.  )

Since we're on the subject of the Grateful Dead, I was wondering what the name of one of their songs is. I saw one of their music videos the other day and it was of skeletons playing a song on stage instead of the band. I liked the song but I missed the name of it. Any know that one?

Touch of Gray
If'n you're talking about the viddy they made back in around '88 that was very MTV-ish and the dog runs off with Mickey Hart's leg bone at the end, it's "Touch of Gray".
Quote:
A Touch of Gray
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Faint light of the morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care, cuz
It's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it, but
It's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only there is to say:
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
It's a lesson to me
The eagles and the beggars and the seas
The ABC's we all must face
Try to keep a little grace
It's a lesson to me
The deltas and the east and the freeze
The ABC's we all think of
And try to win a little love
I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but
It's alright
Cows giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but
It's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand that fits.
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, cuz
It's alright
Oh well, a touch of grey
Kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say, and
It's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

Please don't get me started.
