      If this is touching you, definitely go back and listen to Jerry deliver this song with The Grateful Dead, he is The Storyteller. Many exceptional versions, 1/11/78 is a favorite, any live version from the 70's highly recommended. Welcome aboard.

      In 10th grade I got a very pleasant surprise when my 5th period class attended an optional assembly in the auditorium and it turned out to be Stanley Jordan (class of 1977) performing solo. That I had just gotten high during lunch didn't hurt.

He is amazing with one hand on the guitar! Holly Bowling, of course, is amazing. I love the different settings, from Jake Peavey's flat (presumably) to the sets at the music festival to, of course, Ms. Bowling outside! Her recent videos from Tahoe, etc. are striking. Plus STUUU and Lebo with a Townsendesque flourish to end the jam. Very nice work by all involved. Thanks again for doing this wonderful tribute.
