If not for that kitty in the photo I'd have taken Roscoe on trips to where ever, but that's ok, I'm probably not young enough to go truckin the way I used to. So this is the reason I thought of this, Bob Weir passed away today Jan 10 2026, I'm not sure if he was the last member of the Grateful Dead but I do know that band has lost a hell of a lotta members so far. I can't do him justice the way @fourwalls does it and I ain't no dead head but I love this one song and figured just maybe some of ya'll like it too.

So true. Even those born in the 1990s are feeling it.

@rebelann I can't understand English songs without subtitles.

I will check if I can find the song with subtitles for you, which language do you normally read? I know that China has more than one language

I honestly only knew about Jerry - Hubby told me about Bob Weir passing away. May he rest in peace. There are a few "boomers" near me who have crossed over this season .

@rebelann Right - it's never easy . Part of life - but not easy. I've had "older" friends since my skating days - in my late 20s - and sadly many have already passed on from years ago. And now in the senior tai chi class, I know many older folks again - deep inside I do think about these things. There have been some my age that have passed on (really, really shocking to realize that reality still) - age wise you're right it's very unexpected.

My condolences for your loss. It's an eye opener for sure, so many in their 70s are passing on.

You're very welcome. I think most of us expect our grandparents to pass when we're young like you, then when we're older we know our parents will pass, it's never easy. You're not old enough yet to expect people your own age to be passing that often but if you have friends that are much older it becomes harder to deal with. I wish I had some positive words of wisdom but there are none that I can think of about this situation

Adorable and peaceful kitter. We're going to make the big effort to fly to Phoenix this coming Fall. We need to see our daughter even for an extended weekend.

@rebelann My daughter does not do well on visits for more than a weekend. That makes both my hubby and I sad but it is what it is.

We keep losing them every day. It’s terribly sad. Can’t play the song here, but have heard it before.

I think Truckin was just about the only song of theirs that I liked, I was more into the Beatles or CCR

So true and so many really good tunes ..... heck, even the Rolling Stones had a couple good ones but I didn't really like them that much.

I love that photo, I once said that pretty soon we might be able to hear the sounds of the rock and roll band in the sky,

It's always sad to hear when someone so familiar passes.
