Thanks for all the music and inspiration that you shared without conditions. Thanks for channeling something beautiful into the world that changed so many people's lives for the better.

Wherever you are, and everywhere you still are. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Here's wishing you a very Happy Birthday Jerry! Wherever you happen to be, we are sending you all our love on this very special day. It's been too long since I last saw your smilin' face, however your music still brightens my every day! I love and miss you more than you know! Happy Birthday!

Been thinking about this day all week. Gonna take it easy tonight & have some Non-Moments of Silence, lost in your music. "Dust off thos Rusty strings just one more time..." PEACE

How you are missed, but your music lives on.

Happy Birthday Jerry....Where would we all be without your inspiration and music! You are missed dearly! Peace, Love and Happiness "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery...none but ourselves can free our minds"

Happy Jerry day to all my brothers and sisters out there. Words can't even begin to describe how much I miss Jerry and that special magic that was a Dead show. It was, and still is, an honor and a privilege to be a part of it all. The Bus may have slowed a bit, but it hasn't stopped! Peace

Fare you well my honeyFare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll Make myself a bed by the waterside In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll In a bed, in a bed by the waterside I will lay my head Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul River gonna take me Sing me sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back back home It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home Goin home, goin home by the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul Goin to plant a weeping willow On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll Fare you well, fare you well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

Words cannot begin to describe how much we miss you. You are part of the molecules of our minds and our souls. Tonight I will look out into the big starry sky and hope to see you standing on the moon. peace and love,happiness and hope,pk

Where would we be without you?

I first direct those who haven't read it to Patti Smith's most fabulous Jerry Week essay. A true classic. Also in honor of the solemn and festive day, check out the Jerry birthday card made by our own Tom Mtttemeyer here.

Excellent essay by a very gifted poet. First time I have read it. Seems we are all riding on the big blue ball together in life and in spirit. The spirit can change the planet far beyond our steps on earth. In lifes like Jerry's, we all have and will continue to benefit from his spirit and his love. what a wonderful world.

I first heard the Dead in 1966. The times were and continued to be heartwrenching. When the Dead came out with this song I don't think I was the only one who felt like I was taken under the wing of the Dead. Jerry Garcia and family moved me then and does to this day. How very fortunate we are to know this man, this band, this music.

Belated, but who's checking. Miss ya Jerr!!!

missing you more than ever...

These two songs, on a good night really show how much Brent and Jerry had a major connection. Brent would just fuel Jerry's fire and vice verse. It gives me chills to see Jerry so happy and animated. By the way, I have friends that hate Brent's voice, but I feel he is incredibly under appreciated. I love his voice, it seems to melt beautifully with Bob and JG. Regardless of your views on the vocals, the only player as good or better, in my opinion would be Hornesby. JG and Brent would just start a back and forth that Bob seemed oblivious to. Watch the DVD's if you don't believe.Peace, Kenton

Mission In The Rain Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia I turn and walk away Then I come round again Looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same I must turn down your offer But I'd like to ask a break You know I'm ready to give anything For anything I take Chorus Someone called my name you know I turned around to see It was midnight in the mission and the bells were not for me Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Ten years ago I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dreams at all Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true But everything you gather is just more that you can lose [chorus] All the things I planned to do, I only did half way Tomorrow will be Sunday, born of rainy Saturday There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain No matter what comes down, the mission always looks the same [chorus]

"Walking along in the mission in the rain" Mission district of SF, after getting out of court on some ticket thing ( & getting out of the ticket)...about 1976 or so......the song ringing through my head @ the time............xoxo Gypsy Cowgirl

as most of us know, Jerry lost the first two joints of his 'middle' finger in an accident when his brother Tiff chopped it off. Jerry was around 4 years old. here's the trippy hippie questions of the day: 1) had Jerry ever given anybody 'the finger' with his right hand before his finger got chopped off? 2) was Tiff the very first recipient of Jerry giving somebody 'the finger' with his right hand after the bandage came off? 3) in his adult years, did Jerry tend to give people 'the finger' with his left or right hand? been wondering about all of that for a long number of years... ( -; peace.

welcome back!:-)

Can't answer any of those, Joe, but I do seem to recall that the new Senator from Minnesota once offered to have Jerry give the "finger" to someone on Halloween night in 1980... All you had to do was give generously to Jerry's Kids! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

thankx, marye. I also remember hearing a story about a dude who saw Jerry before some show, must have been 88 thereabout, post-coma Jerry; maybe walking around, anyways, Garcia was smoking a ciggarette, and the dude yelled out 'hey Jerry, I heard you quit smoking' to which Garcia replied with a stubby, right handed middle finger gesture type of reaction with a smile as he did it. that is the only confirmed rumor of which finger Garcia used in his adult life, though this is only anecdotal evidence and hardly enough to form of a sample to gather the proper level of statistical integrity. ( -; apart from Polo and breeding Arabian horses.... Garcia was a real pip. a real pip. peace.

can't never get tired of this clip: missin' Jerry real bad today... seeing this makes me smile. peace.

thx, ccejjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj! i remember sneaking to the tv in the basement to watch playboy after dark as a kid (probably 13-14), i think it was wgn in chicago, it was on real late, and i saw THIS show. how could ya forget that poncho. another one of those brushes with my future before i knew... it would still be a few years before i found myself escaping though the lily field : ) peace

Didn't Jerrys brother aXidently chop off his finger while chopping wood at a young age? So iv'e heard somewhere.Phatmoye

nah, phatmoye; the story about Garcia and his brother was just for the press releases because the truth is too shocking; Jerry lost the tip of his finger in a poker game. ( -; peace.

yeah, it was them ace's running up and down his sleeve that did the digit in, just as the queen of diamonds was hittin' full shine! ;-

I'd have to say my favorites are 1. Tiger, 2. Wolf 3. Bean I love every single thing about the Tiger's tone. "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace." -Duane Allman

Man that may just be the coolest thing I have ever seen ccs gone. Wow I am really missing Jerry right about now too. "Half of my life I spent doing time for some other f@#ker's crime. The other half found me stumbling around drunk on burgundy wine"
