Remembering Jerry!

Thirteen years ago today, Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack after checking into a drug-rehab facility in Forest Knolls, California. I thought that I would include this video of one of my favorite Dead tunes, "Box of Rain"-one of the few songs sung by Phil Lesh, and the song he sang to his father (who was terminally ill with cancer) on his death-bed. As a few of you know, one of my claims to fame is that I was at the last Grateful Dead Show at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9th, 1995 and the Dead performed "Black Muddy River" for their first encore and then returned on stage to perform "Box of Rain" their last song performed together in their 2,314th Show as Jerry died a month later.
