Subject: 40 YEARS SO FAR . . . .

40 years ago today, the Magic Began. As fate would have it, my first show was a "miracle" ticket from the Band's road crew. I was working, as a busboy, ... at my cousin's restaurant (Gordon's Seafood) in Pikesville MD. The band was staying at their usual Pikesville Hilton. The road crew came in for dinner (May 3rd) and had dinner It was rather early in the evening so I was able to talk to them I was asked if I was going to the show the next day and I said no. One said I was now and to be at will call the next day at 6. I asked my dad if I should go (he was in the record business) and he said why not. A decision, me thinks, was later regretted.
The next day, I rode with Brian Weiss His dad drove us in a diesel Mercedes and Brian had black roses because, after all that is what you were supposed to bring. I had been listening to the Grateful Dead since 1974 as my best Adam friend's brother, Lee Caplan had them in his collection We regularly listened to Workingman's Dead, Live Dead and American Beauty. So when I go to the show, I had some working knowledge of their library
That concert led me to the one of the greatest life experiences of my existence I became the man I am today because of the values I learned and continue to learn from being part of that community. I had already had a sense of doing for others, instilled into me from being in Hebrew School and being taught by some "hippy" Jews. But it was solidified in the Dead community I became a justice warrior and a lawyer. So much more
I had always been moved by music. The Dead took me to another level. Jerry Garcia's ability to take an open coda jam so far out set the modicum for me He turned me onto some many different genres of music and I ate them up To this day, I live to see and hear jam band music Mickey heart turned me onto percussion and I become a percussionist, even studying with his mentor Babatunde Olatunji, of blessed memory. I am so moved my music it carries me
Most importantly, I got to make some of the best friends in the world. Many still in my life from those early days. I found recovery in my life and was able to experience it High on Music, first as Wharf Rat, and now in so many other groups, to this day I also founded one of the largest Grateful Dead and now other bands pages, on social media. WEIR HERE LISTENING PARTY The mission was very simple. Continuing a social engineering experiment that began on this day 40 year ago. Now bringing the community together in virtual reality
So thank you Big Steve Parish, Ramrod and crew for doing what you did. A simple twist of fate. Your act of kindness, so apropos for the scene, was so beyond
Thank you Bob Weir Jerry Garcia Brent Mydland Bill Kreutzmann Mickey Hart Phil Lesh Donna Jean Godchaux Keith Godchaux Vince Welnick Tom Constanten Bruce Hornsby Ron « Pigpen » McKernan for making the music that forever changed my life. I wanna thank you for a real good time

Sorry to be a contrarian, but this show is an example of Jerry not being on his game. There are many vocal flubs and not much fire coming from his guitar ...
