I did 126 shows. I'm okay. My wife did 120. She's a nurse practitioner. We made it out alive. It wasn't hard to break 100 if you sold peanut butter sandwiches. I came home and earned a bachelors in marketing. That was a long time ago. My youngest of four is 19 years old. I wouldn't change a thing.
Grateful Dead fans, check out the "New Yorker"
Appearing in the November 26th. issue of the New Yorker... a very interesting and lengthy article about the Dead and their various sound people, archivists, spin off bands, etc. The ins and outs of Bob and Betty, Latvala, Lemieux, taping, etc. Also a look at the archives themselves as well as mystery tapes rotting in storage. This would appeal to both Dead Heads and people with only a slight interest in the band's music, including just us audiophiles. Check it out, especially if you have fond memories of their good days.
