Anyone else like The Dead?I saw them a bunch of times when Jerry Garcia was alive,and even followed them on their last tour in 95.

how old are you anyway, ricky?

the dead are good but i mainly listened to jerry garcia and david grisman's non-dead albums. shady grove is particularly good.

I'm 30.I like Jerry's stuff with Grisman,too.Have you seen the film "Grateful Dawg" about Garcia and Grisman?

[dopediana]

you look young for 30. but that's my opinion. i thought you were between 22 and 27. victor was on the ball. we realized after you left with wyatt that we didn't know anything about you except that you came from lynchburg. we didn't even know what was happening under the blue tam.

i've never seen the movie, but i have their album "acoustic disc: 100% handmade music" and that has a track on it called "grateful dawg." it's an awesome album, really diverse. i have to admit that i could listen to "louis collins" all day long. i wish i could play it on the guitar. my dad can though.

I look older than 30 without the tam. :D Yeah,I'm pretty quiet most of the time and even more so that day because i'd only had about an hour and a half of sleep.
Um,stuff about me:I was born in Alabama,but grew up in Lynchburg in a conservative working class family,in a conservative working class neighborhood.(actually the same neighborhood Jerry Falwell grew up in many years earlier.)I however have always been very un-conservative,but still very working class.My first experience as an activist was protesting the first Gulf War in 91.I didn't go to college,but I'm pretty well self educated.I've work in industrial jobs between touring with The Grateful Dead and Phish.I've been to several Rainbow Gatherings,I've hitchhiked across the country several times with hippies and gutter punks.I've lived as a squatter in San Francisco,Berkeley,Kansas City and Chapel Hill.I'm an anarcho-syndicalist and a member of The IWW.I work as a sheet metal fabricater and I live in a loft apartment in downtown Lynchburg.Anything else you want to know just ask. :)
