      When down I found that listening to the Dead would restore my spirit. The GD became my most effective antidepressant. For years I tried to figure this out and then one day listening to Stella Blue a thought charged into my mind, "Jerry's guitar sounds happy even when he plays the blues." Eureka, that's it. Jerry plays a Happy Guitar. Add that to the smile and BOOM, the ultimate antidepressant. Smile on.

    After readin' a few hundred of these I need to put my two cents in here. to begin with I am 72 now. Saw my first show as the closing of the joint in SF. The name of the place is gone right now. It happens when u get to 72. From that show til one in Prov RI '85 I saw 153 shows. A few stick out like the one in Syr NY '82 where fifteen minutes before the show Howie and I got front row seats center stage b/c someone decided not to come to the show. It was that might that I meant the love of my life. This was a sit down show but no one sat. Two girls had somehow gotten down to stand in front of Howie and I. They were pretty little things so neither of us minded them being there. They were rubbing their asses up against us all through the show. It was not until after the show we even learned their names. The funny thing was they too were from RI where I had been living for a year then. Howie and I were living up on Observatory Ave in a house known as the Observatory commun. The girls were from Cranston. That summer Betsy and I set up Living together on the west side just a block form PC in a triplex that was an historical building. She had money. Her father had died when she was 25 and left her, her sister and Ma vry will off. This meant that I didn't have to work. But I did just to fill my time. the triplex and the one next to it where the first two built on the west side. Both were in poor shape. The man we rented form for four yrs was a rich lawyer who bought them to restore. This is the work I id while we lived there. By myself I brought them back to their original mid Victorian glory. By the way we were of the same age Betsy and I. Just 33 that wonderful spring we meet. I had only 15 yrs with her. She pasted in '97. We left RI in '87 after we adopted our twin girls who where just a year & a half. We did not want to raise them in a city so we moved back to my home county of Steuben NY where we bought a large farm (500 acres of burned out potato land). We went to raising grass fed beef on it. Over the years the kids and I have expanded the farm to 800 acres & gone into chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, ducks, geese & turkeys. My girls are still with me. Neither of them have a full time man. The little one (4'11") has one child and has no more use for sex while the tall one (5'8") has three and has dif man every month. Me I have lived with no woman but Betsy. She was the only woman I vry found who was worth her salt.
    So Kids the dead brought me a lot more then wonderful music. They got me the love of my life and two wonderful Kids and four great grand kids.
    I have many more stories to tell of my shows like the fact that I never went to a show with a ticket in hand and I never missed a show I went to.

      Things had certainly gone way downhill by that point, can't even begin to imagine what the earlier years were like.

      You're one of the lucky few human beings in the history of humanity to have seen Jerry Garcia & the Grateful Dead. I started liking the Dead in the early 2000s... Officially became a Deadhead in 2014/2015 so I even missed Ratdog 😔
      For me the live shows have been all JRAD, Dead & Co, the Cause, Grateful Shred, Dark Star Orchestra, & Brown Eyed Women (whose bassist is amazing, BTW! Check her out!). I'm not complaining, but I'd pay a lot of money for a sphere I can walk into and experience past Grateful Dead concerts as if I were actually there (with VR/AR/AI technology) - with the same volume and quality of sights and sounds and the ability to walk around and dance (and even talk to people who were there). I hope those types of devices exist before I die! I did check off one bucket list item this year (VIP pit ticket for Dead & Co @ Deer Creek!!). Many more to check off -- hopefully soon! 😁🤘✌️⚡☠️

That evening my best friend had a nice quiet party in his basement. There was the Skull and Roses album. Bertha was on. There was something about that song and the way it was being played.... after that, their music never stopped. The 1st time I saw them was at Vanderbilt U. Then RFK 6 10 73. That was the greatest one I ever experienced. May I suggest the new soundboard of it at ua-cam.com/video/JIGb3BhKePQ/v-deo.html
