You are missed by so many! Thank you for making that B-3 shine! Thank you for joining the Grateful Dead circus or else "We wouldn't have known you all these years"!

... on his birthday. We miss him very much, he was an extraordinary keyboardist...

Musician (Not An Easy Life)

From the 1976 album "Silver", with whom Brent played keyboards.

Lyrics: Brent Mydland
Music: Brent Mydland

The rent's due tomorrow
Haven't got a penny to my name
I'm trying to build me a lifetime
Think I'd better start a new frame

Chorus
And I think I'm learning first hand
About what it's like to be
To be a musician
And I can see
It's not an easy life
It's not an easy life to live

Guess that I chose the hard road
No use wondering why
I had hopes I would make it
Must have had my hopes up too high

[chorus]

And I keep on smiling
Ooh, smiling
Smiling to hide the pain
Inside I'm crying
Ooh, crying
And it's hard to explain

[chorus]

Happy birthday, Brent!

Your unique keyboards and soulful vocals will always hold a very special place in my heart. Heard you sing "Tons of Steel" at my first show and it blew me away! Rock on, brother!

Happy Birthday Brent!!
