The Rex Foundation
Now approaching the quarter-century mark, the Rex Foundation is the nonprofit the Dead founded in the '80s. Several Rex folks are here already, so I turn the discussion over to them!
Tomorrow night at ARCO Arena? Going to be a real fun night!
check out Bill Walton's Dead tribute with the Sacramento Kings, also benefiting Rex! February 9 at ARCO Arena. Sacramento Heads take note!
If you were thinking of starting off next year with the Jam Cruise (and given the lineup, who can blame you...), the promoter is offering a cool way to book your cabin and have some of the proceeds go to Rex--check it out here.
Thanks for the interview Marye, good to learn about the work Jorma's doing. I remember seeing him play a solo acoustic show a long,long time ago at McCabe's guitar shop in Santa Monica, it was pretty awesome!
which I certainly had fun doing, is here. We're working on getting audio; we'll see how that turns out...
There's a listening party at nugs.net this week, and all the download info is there too. Here's more info on the release: http://rexfoundation.org/2010/08/05/jerry-jams-for-rex/.

(July 9, 2010) Tomorrow, July 10, at 5:45 Eastern time, Matt Butler conducts the Everyone Orchestra at the All Good Festival in a Rex Jam.
