Cool, SC and I started playing together in the mid 60s when we were in jr high thru a couple of semi pro/ pro bands the last one breaking up around 75. We did about 30 -40 % Dead material in that band...same time the Outlaws were breaking out. They were the Southern rock, us the Deadhead band around Tampa at that time.
I moved to Jersey '76 played in several hippie country bands before stopping full time playing about '83.
I was visiting him in the late '80s and he told me about some new Deadhead bands in central FLA including UJB. When I saw your connection to UJB on the playing dead site, I had to ask.
Small world...
We (Steven, myself and at least 2 other original members of the afore mentioned band are trying to organise a reunion next summer in Pinellas County. A little recording and a gig somewhere. Looks like its gonna happen (fingers crossed). You can be sure ther will be a nice GD chain in the set.
all the best.
