What a wonderful month it's been, sharing our love of the Grateful Dead through song and video! We applaud all the hard work and effort that you, the fans, put into the DEAD COVERS PROJECT, and we hope you'll continue to watch and support all the amazing participant videos on YouTube until we fire up the DEAD COVERS PROJECT again next February.
Throughout the month of April, we'll be shining our lovelight on a handful of artists that really made the grade. You'll get to know each of these five artists and find out just what made them connect with the Dead in our exclusive DEAD COVERS PROJECT profiles, but for now we'd simply like to congratulate the following participants (in no particular order)...
Now Playing In The Band...
The project may be over for 2012, but you can continue to check out some of the "Top Rated" videos that were submitted and "Like" them here.

By Ziph’s rules I’m thinkin any entry will be allowed to occupy up to three categories. The entry above for instance might appear in 1. Duets (but there's four. Ok,if they were a duet then) 2. No longer in circulation 3. Traditional bluegrass I’ll work up an entire category list soon but before I beat that horse it’s time to give Cubensis a little heat and after just scratching the surface of the more than 2000 entries I have already stumbled upon a veritable gold mine of solid, performances by “Playin’ Dead” out of Boston. These guys glide right out to dnd's edge and skimboard down the other side where they are the first to be nominated in the category: Nuts and Bolts Dead Bands These guys have been putting in the hours, are prolific, and got what it takes to soothe a worried mind. I expect they’ll be making many of my lists as we roll down the road. Like ‘em or leave ‘em Pretty good huh? Check out some of their other tunes; let me know your favorites. In fact, give a listen to Mr Charlie if you wanna see this southpaw in full regalia. And this wouldn’t be political without a little mutual back scratching. I would not have found Playin’ Dead if I had not listened to PAPPYPGH’s best solo performance, a very serviceable rendition of Dupree’s Diamond Blues PAPPYPGH has a powerful tenor voice that I suspect will really come into its own as he learns to belt it out and keep it out and he is a solid guitar technician who knows the chords and is neither tenuous nor sloppy. And it was PAPPYPGH’s Dupree’s that led me to this larger than life version by Playin’ Dead, where they demonstrate a cool as ice execution of this silly song. And that’s it for our first edition of Ziph’s Picks. I’m just kidding about the likes, go ahead and like what you want, we’ll be following traffic, not likes. ziphFor all you Bay Area Dead Heads

My versions of Let It Grow and Saint of Circumstance...
These vids are different from my Looks Like Rain vid that was featured on this page in February (thanks again to the DCP folks for that unbelievable opportunity!). Less polished and the improv on piano is zanier (especially the last half of Let It Grow) - I modeled these covers after my favorite live recordings from the early 80's soon after Brent came on board (~7 years before my first Dead shows) - I tried to sound like a coked-up freight train that's perpetually on the verge of derailment.... Having a blast browsing all these DCP vids! Any feedback / input on my stuff is greatly appreciated! -Live Long and Prosper, Satish
