    Ben Franklin's B-day
    The menu link reads Jan. 16th, 1968. That is a mistake because this show occurred on Jan. 17th. That is Ben Franklin's Birthday. I love this Aquarian run through Valentine's Day. Some of my favorite music from the Grateful Dead! ......And there were days I know when all we ever wanted was to learn and love and grow.

    I lived at 750 Turk St.
    I lived at 750 Turk St. (Turk & Van Ness) and it was just a walkdown Van Ness to Market St. The Carousel was my office, where I did my business and socialized. I remember I had the Franklin Poster from this show. I'd collect posters from every show I'd go to. They were free and I wish I still had my whole collection still. The Dead and Quicksilver always put on a good show.
