Grateful Dead Music Forum

Hello
61/years and just getting on board...had the touch of grey album
Was friends with many of the fans...always was a British invasion and blues fan
Circumstances led me to open up to the jams and recalling the person I used to be...started playing my guitar again listening to Wllie nelson and Jerry
All my old band mates are dying or dead...except for Dave...he was the deadhead.
Lol.
What's up with that?
Lol
I'm now trying to play and sing at the same time after just being a guitar guy...for years.
But now ..I'm a song guy.
Maybe that's why I'm here.

The why is less important perhaps than the am.

Welcome!

Hi LTTB, and welcome to the forum! I think the only real relevant question is “on the bus” or “off the bus”. How and when you hopped aboard is always an interesting story, but if you’re on, you’re on. So welcome aboard!

Bill, the guitar one

I think.my discovery of this solo...had as much to do with it as anything...
I found when covid and the rest of the bad news got me down...I could play this video...and instantly felt better.
What power...what a gift

The whole video is well worth the 12 minutes but if you want just the Peggy-O content, start at 3:50.

Hey, I’ve known “Peggy-O” since Simon & Garfunkel’s first album “Wednesday Morning 3:00 A.M.” came out in 1964. I COULDA PLAYED WITH DYLAN????!!!!!

Bill, tgo

I'm learning it but damn Jerry's take on it.....is tough
That pinky on the left hand especially
