19 yrs today RIP Jerry Garcia

“There's no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don't think any eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great, much more than a superb musician, with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He's the very spirit personified of whatever is Muddy River country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn't only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he'll ever know. There's a lot of spaces and advances between The Carter Family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman—a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. There's no way to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep.” - Bob Dylan

19 yrs today RIP Jerry Garcia it's one of those "never forget where you were" moments for me. We had just seen them in DC, Hornsby sat in both nights. Bob Dylan opened. My buddy from DC called and said, "Jerry is dead." I thought it was some BS rumor. He said, "nah man. it's all over MTV." that's when I knew. I started my car and the Maxell XL II in my tape player started playing Standing on the Moon. I cried.
