    i was a part of the late eighties, early nineties tour scene spending most time off in the Haight, Santa Cruz and Humboldt areas. I'm just looking for some folk I used to hang and travel with. I've been living back in Canada for the past 10 yrs, so I've fallen out of touch with just about everyone. Drop me a line if you might remember me. thanx.

    Was in a band way back there in1972. We were bored kids in the neighborhood...and we started a little garage band that grew out of some bongos a mic and a tape recorder...an old guitar and a basement piano. We got focused and scraped up some bucks with odd jobs, paper routes and allowances. Before long, we built us a little PA, upgraded to "big" amps and a few Shure mics. I added a 2nd hand pearl drum kit to my bongo jams and off we went. A strobe light and our own patch-it- together lights and we got us a few gigs at party's and the school dance. Never had so much fun in my life. We called ourselves Spectrum and or Freight Train...There was another local band that was called Earth Spirit...We made all of $75 for the dance but after the split it worked out to $11 and change and it was worth every penny to see those people dancin'. Jim Moore on keyboard, Andy Ferretti and Rick Blais on guitar. Mark Izard on Bass...Jeff Mantooth singin' his heart out and I rolled the sticks. Some of the set included; Revival, Down By The River, Walk Away, It Don't Come Easy, Are You Ready, Guitar Gently Weeps....the rest will come to me as I let the memory return through the years. If you guys are out there touch base please. It would be a trip. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land" Robert Hunter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Oakland 93, I GAVE you a backstage pass during the show
    I'm looking for that guy I met at the Chinese New Year's shows in Oakland, '93. My first show, and this guy showed me the ropes, introduced me to the love of the scene and I was amazed, overwhelmed, lost, and tripping hard all at the same time. Can't remember his name, but I can quote him. It was set break. and I asked if that was it....did I miss a lot? He says "Is it over? You thought that was the end of the show? Hell no, it ain't over yet, that was just the first set! Stick around brother." I gave him a backstage pass I had acquired cuz I was so happy just to be where I was at. Skipped the chance to meet Jerry so an old fan that was just so kind to me could realize a dream. What a way to meet the Grateful Dead, huh!?!? I'm also looking for Almish Nelterson, or a copy of his book, "WOW". It should be bright orange, with big letters say WoW. This book was being distributed at the Shoreline shows in '94. I also want to say hi to Teach, Shaggy from Oklahoma, everyone in Vegas, Tulsa, Reno, Montreal, and Susanville that still search for the sound. @DarkStarGazer@ wishes all well and good.

At the beginning of 2007 I got a really bad case of food poisoning and ended up being misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic. I was subsequently held in psychiatric facilities for 1.5 months before being released without any explanation as to how they supposed my "mental illness" was "all better". I've spoken with an attorney in my homestate of Pennsylvania (a deadhead) and I've been told that I have a legitimate case, but need to find family to represent me. I'm grateful for any help anyone can offer! Thanks and keep on truckin'! Joseph http://www.photonicbeing.org

I am also looking for heads in my area.. Big Rapids, MI - Sister Earth you are not too far :)I know there must be some in town, though because there is a telephone connection box with like 20 dead stickers on it in town. Would love to know of anyone around who even listens to the dead, let alone really likes them - I seem to be alone in this small town. I know we are everwhere, but is everyone who likes the dead in hiding in this tiny town :) Email me --> esawicki@yahoo.com

It's been awhile since i was in action, but it would be nice to hear from old friends I knew on tour... You see it's a Black Peter issue, as I am battling cancer.. I am about 3 hours from san fran, and I feel like the family can help me heal, and deal with this issue. And new friends are always welcome to chat with me, after all that's what family is all about.

I am looking for Jason Pizzo...he is the person that originally got me into the Dead...I guess I have to be grateful for that any way. We split up very unfriendly like and I just would like to apologize for my part in it....although not for the left hook in P'town...he kinda had that comin'.... I know he is in Vermont, probably Burlington...and I know that he just lost about everything he owned in a fire where he was living, as I saw it in the local paper from up there....but I dont know where he is now... If anyone up there reads this, and knows him, please tell him to e-mail me @ patriot.gyrl65@yahoo.com...... Tell him I said to get himself a can o' peas....

I just wanted to send out a hi to Eileen Law. Hope you doing wonderfully and are fullsteam into the pursuit of happiness. I wrote you years back re: my brother being one of the first to subscribe to being a "deadhead', my first concert on his wedding day being the wall of sound debut march 23 1974 at the cow palace, and your effort's always meant so much to me and you are someone I will always treasure in my mind as a warm and beautiful person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for this long strange trip that it has been. love and peace,pk

You know who you are! I used to chat with you on 40M and and repeaters up and down the coast. You used to come up to my car because it had call plates and antennas all over it (at the time in 88-90 had a white nissan sentra with my N6PPS plates) and we would talk shows and eqpt. while getting strange. We would also find ourselves in mid chat around the soundboard during shows. We would run into each other from LA shows to SF/Sac shows. I also met a few of you in Phoenix and Vegas before/during/after shows.... Where are you? PM me and we'll sched on HF or IRLP/Echolink Peace DE KJ7XJ CN87tf

Hey Annie! You were an unemployed architect from Connecticut who lived in the city. You made hippie beaded necklaces for a living and volunteered at the Warfield. We met on a plane from SFO --> PHX and rented a car together for the shows in Dec. 1992. You lived in an apartment near Delores Park and your neighbor was in the SF symphony or ballet or something? Remember the "Peace March" against the 1st Iraqi War from Delores Park to City Hall? Remember the morning of the march the Urban Foresters were planting trees along the street on your block? I think their goal was to plant ten thousand trees throughout the city. Remember during the march, the kid who climbed up the light post and yelled at the crowd? "What do we want?!!!" The crowd's response, "TO END THE WAR!" When do we want it?!! "RIGHT NOW!" We danced to the music on the square at City Hall after the march. I think I was the only one wearing slacks and a button-down shirt. Hey Annie! Where are you?

Hey That Nice Hippy Guy! I'm not so far away, and I've been thinking about going to southern Missouri. I live in Little Rock - only four hours to the Missouri line. Ha! Ever been to SchwaggStock? I haven't, but I love The Schwagg, and I've always wanted to go, and it's somewhere in southern Missouri. I'm looking for any kindred spirits in the central Arkansas area. I know there are some deadheads around here somewhere because we have seen one another at Juanita's. I just don't know you! Drop me a line anytime! Peace and Grateful Love Always
