I kissed Vince Welnick!

Hi All! I am a patient lady...couldn't find a man worthy to even date. So, I bought my (OUR, I'm married now) '74 VW Bus. I joined a VW camping club. At one gathering, Vince Welnick was present! He was playing keyboards for the band. I chatted him up afterward, had several pics taken with him (this was when cameras had film), and asked for a kiss before I left. I wanted a peck, but he slipped me the tongue! hehehe.... Then again, I was pretty-little-VW-driving DeadHead. hehehehe...I've been married almost 2 years, and the going joke is, "Now that i have the bus, I can get rid of the wife." He's had plenty of chances to kill me: snorkeling, SCUBA, on the back of his Ski-doo... I think DaMan loves his wife. ;-)

New Bob Weir iPhone App!

Hey - We've been working with Bob Weir over the last few months to create an iPhone app. Today it launched. Bob approached us about making and app featuring a twist on the classic kids songs. He recorded original music for some classic kids songs. His version of Old Mac Donald is wacky and crazy. The best part of this app is that 100% of the proceeds go to his charity The Further Foundation. So, check it out: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weirs-world/id359503370?mt=8 Bob would love to hear what you and your kids think! We've also set-up a Fan page so he can keep updated about Weir's World. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weirs-World/381664192352 Thanks - the folks at Weir's World

Touring NYC

Hey does any what Jerry's real name was?

is this

a trick question?

Name

My brother told me his name was Sam Morse. But I can't find anything about that.

your brother is messing with you

Now true, Sam Morse invented the telegraph, so there's some poetic connection there. But Jerry's name is Jerome (after Kern) John Garcia.

Dam

It sucks having a brother!!!!~

hey

Jerry's brother cut off young Jer's middle finger with a hatchet! So it could be worse. They were quite young at the time. It did give Jer something of an iconic handprint.

New book!

For all you heads in the academy, and for those of us struggling to follow along, I wanted to share my excitement at a new publication: The Grateful Dead in Concert: Essays on Live Improvisation Jim Tuedio, Stan Spector, eds http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4357-4 My partner, Brent Wood, contributed a beautiful essay entitled "The Eccentric Revolutions of Phil Lesh". It is a great piece of work and feels good to see it in print after hours of conversation, listening and writing. He's already published an essay on Robert Hunter's poetry and psychedelic experience and is currently tackling the subject of Jerry & tragedy. These pieces will hopefully appear as a whole book in future. This book is carefully put together with foreword by Stanley Krippner and contributions by the usual suspects. Great writing, nice organization (tuning, first, 2nd, 3rd sets, encore...) and good ideas! I couldn't be more proud.

okay, gotta share the joy...

Just got off the phone from interviewing Jorma Kaukonen for a story that's going to be on the Rex Foundation site, and I'm still grinning from ear to ear. And invoking all the techno gods that the online recording worked!

OH COOL MARY e!

can't wait to read it! Meanwhile, back @ the ranch I just swam 1/2 mile 2 days in a row & going again the next 2 days......:)))

wow, I'm impressed!

that's quite a feat! (Recording came out fine, whew!)

Went to the site

and am looking forward to the online recording along with the story! Nothing like an icon interview...wow! Congratulations! Balloons! Sparklers!

the recording

is not the best audio, unfortunately. Good enough to transcribe from, but not what you'd call broadcast quality. Still, we'll see what we can do.

Jorma Kaukonen

Thanks for sharing your ear to ear grin with us Marye....I was fortunate to have shared a few words with Mr. K. after a show at the beautiful Mt. Baker Theatre(where I work as an usher)up here in Bellingham,WA. He was on a tour featuring the 'Blues Guitar' with Robben Ford and Ruthie Foster. They each played solo sets and then traded licks in various combinations. I waited till the crowd got done with him after the show in the hope of asking how best to obtain a copy of 'Electric Hot Tuna....Live at the New Orleans'....Jorma was very kind and such an 'easy talker'.... P.S. It was so good to see and hear him playing with Jack Cassady at 'Furthur Fest' in May....

yeah...

I was really surprised, having done about 82 gazillion interviews with all kinds of people over the last 30 years, how easy and comfortable he was to talk to. This is one of my faves that I've ever done. One of the things he had to say is that he and Jack got to talking recently and realized they'd been playing for 53 years, and how many people are there that have not only spent their lives on one job, but one job they loved?

I'm moving from NJ to

I'm moving from NJ to Arkansas to start on my graduate degrees in interpersonal communications in about two weeks....

Heynow, son Simon married his sweetheart Jody

this weekend. An outdoor affair, and their recessional was "I want to hold your hand" by the Beatles and I wept tears of joy and then we partied with friends and family. A grate night. They Love Each Other! The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

Congrats to the father-in-law!

Way to go, pops!

Gonna brag for a second, bout my dad!

Just found this blog in the internet today-a hippie news blog-and whaddya know? My dad had an article posted there! http://www.worldwidehippies.com/?p=8875 ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Nice article by your Dad, Ms. Lilly

Maybe I should move my rants in current events to this blog-site. Too many uncomfortable on this site with anything controversial.

Please still rant here Gonzo

as well as anywhere else you chose! Being silent accepting sheep and not discussing hot topics is NOT how we change the world!********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

cool, oroboros

much happiness to you and yours.

Tiger Lilly is from Mount Carroll??!!

I lived in Mt. Carroll from when I was 4 months old until I was 7 or 8. You know it?********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Ted

I'm a geographical wiz

I should've gone to work for the Pentagon, eh CB? TL: When I started inspecting export grain in southern Louisiana, I met 2 people from Mt Carroll: a young guy named Mick Merboth and an older gent named Bud Miles. I haven't see nor heard from either since 1981. Recent news from Mt Carroll: 2 teens suffocated in a grain bin.... http://www.wqad.com/news/wqad-mount-carroll-grain-bin-accident-072910,0…

Mt: Carroll was a small town

Bud Miles is ringing a very faint bell-I will ask my dad whether it rings any louder for him and let you know!********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Jorma Interview...!

Congratultions marye on the Jorma interview. I just saw him (Hot Tuna) at the State Theater in NOVA not long ago (awesome show btw). I don't know him personally but he (and the whole band) exude a very cool and peaceful vibe. Ditto to everyone else TL, O, et al.

WATTS

Just installed 4200 watts of solar panels on the roof. They went on line July 1 2010.In 2 months produced 1494 watts of energy. So I am just SUNSHINE DREAMING

well done!

good for you.

way to go

i am sure mother earth appreciates your hard work

rock star brands

I'm proud to be working on a book called "Brand Like A Rock Star" that uses the experiences of rock 'n roll to demonstrate how to build powerful and lasting brands. The book is a collection of expanded postings from the blog www.brandlikearockstar.com. It should be out in mid-2011. Lots of cool bands are discussed, including Jimmy Buffett, AC/DC, The Beatles, and many others. The Grateful Dead are frequently included, and I would love to get feedback and input from the community. Please feel free to share!

Thanks, yall

As a novice fisherman, it should be comical to watch me tie flies and actually hook and land a rainbow or brown trout in some beautiful setting. Kevin, I will be in Steamboat later in March to ski; however, the Yampa River runs through downtown and may offer a wading opportunity.Tiger Lilly: I'm really glad for you and your daughters looking ahead to better times ahead: I'll google Life Improvement on the Solstice. It just might help all of us out! Thanks Mary and Gypsy Cowgirl for the well-wishes: you know I'll be in contact when I visit northern California.

Uphill swing

After a completetly catastrophic end to 2010 (4 deaths in 3 months), things are improving so dramatically that I can barely believe it. I keep pinching myself to make sure that it is true, and not some dream that I will wake up from right back in the same old nightmare. Also I am happy to say that my daughter is pulling out of her year of sickness and loss-depression, and is back to focusing on school and going foreward. We are going to have a Give Thanks for Life Improvement Fest on the Spring Solstice this year.********************************** I am not young enough to know everything. Oscar Wilde

Yay Ted!

Let's see...Mary Jane, that's Winter Park, no?I'm thinking about retiring so I can listen to the E72 Box. I'm going to Steamboat this summer - it's going to be odd with no snow. I'll be training there because three weeks later is the SF 1/2 marathon. I did it last year and it about killed me - guess I'm a glutton for punishment! (My oldest daughter will be with me and hopefully she'll get me through with a little less agony). Have to say I'm a bit envious. Enjoy!!! " Where does the time go? "

Congrats!

Gr8fulTed ........Now, this isn't as good, but could be funny. A few weeks ago, my 7 yr. old grandson got in trouble @ school for peeing on the grass @ the playground. (my son thinks he was showing off or something) Last week, he got an award for highest academic score in the 2nd grade.....go figure-one extreme to the other....OH, maybe he takes a bit after me....haha....:)))

To Miss Adavie

So sorry for your lost, life is a fragile gift that is lost easy. I would suggest He's Gone,And to lay me down. Fire on the mountain and Shakedown street. Do you know what your father's favorite songs were? I would try to include them. I hope that this helps you in your time of sorrow.

After 33 years of working, I retired today: Look for me on the slopes at Mary Jane starting Monday March 7th and throughout the month of March. I'll have my fly rod too if I see some stream water flowing freely....
