Yup, Jerry Garcia died.
I can't believe it's been 12 years. I might try and get tickets to Phil and Friends when they goto the Mohegan. One of those things for me that I will always remember where I was when I heard it. Some life guard at the Cape Cod Vacation Condominiums in Yarmouth told me as I pulled in to Ricky's and my apartment. Do you remember where you were???

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

That too. 12 years ago would have been the 50th anniversay, too.
The forgotten atomic city for most people. Being second ever at anything makes you a historical footnote. Everyone knows that John Glenn was the first American to orbit the eath, but maybe 3 people out of a hundred remember that Scott Carpenter was #2.
And even I can't name the second group of astronauts to walk on the moon |

yup jerry garcia passed on.
I only remember because I had an aunt who passed away that same day in 1995.
One thing that hasn't been the same since is that I don't see people camped out in and around the garden area in boston. I walk to the train at n. station everyday and always got a kick out of seeing the whole dead community that would set up there when they were in town.

Patchwork Quilt
I never knew you
But then who really did?
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
A patchwork quilt of a life
Memories embroidered
On your soul
So please forgive me
For putting you in my song
But the spirit she moves me
In fact she pushes me along
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
Can't stop the river
Just let it roll
We were at Jones Beach
When we got the word
Saddest sound that I ever heard
The bluest note that nobody could play
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
And in the way
So walk beside me
Or above me, I don't know
These days it sure seems
I'm lost where ever I go
God, how could you, I heard someone say
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
Now that our North Star can no longer be found
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
Hippies dance and babies cry
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
Bright lights, Dark Star
I never knew you
But then who really did
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
-Warren Haynes
