looks to be a nice day here... hopefully I get something accomplished
I was never a fan of the grateful dead or much of the stuff JG did that sounded like the dead... but that's just me, I do like the some of the stuff he did with David Grisman and a few others tho... I believe because he was known as THE Grateful Dead it simply overshadowed his musical genius a bit. People who didn't care for the dead never got a chance to hear his other stuff and collaborations...
His greatest contribution to my life was Cherry Garcia ice cream from those two hippie dudes.
