The weather has been nice all day, not too much humidity and not to hot. I could use more days like this and it looks like the next 2-3 days.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post videos of my gigs here, but last night was fun. We played well, for the second night in a row, and managed to load up the equipment at 1:15 AM without feeling particularly tired.

Robert Hunter, lyricist for the Grateful Dead, my favorite rock 'n roll band, died yesterday at age 78.
Hunter wrote lyrics to many of the more "cerebral" Grateful Deal songs, along with Jerry Garcia, who wrote the music to most...

This is one of my favorite songs by Grateful Dead. It describes the first time Jerry Garcia met Janis Joplin. The best line in the song, IMO, goes "Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at...

I admit it. I deserved to be harassed by the police today. It occurred in the "elite" (Martin, Taylor, Gibson) guitar room of Guitar Center Concord CA at about 5:45 PM.

This is one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs. There are so many, it’s hard to pick a favorite really, but I’ve always loved this one.

I am not a musician, but I have loved music all of my life. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for "classic rock," the psychedelic rock and blues-rock of the 1960s. I had the privilege of attending live performances of many...

Does anyone here listen to jam bands? My favorites are ofcourse The grateful dead, Moe, Disco Biscuits, and Lotus. But the whole genre is really just my type of music, i can listen to it all the time.
