Day by Day by Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders - June 3, 1975

Spinning this rare recording of β€œDay by Day,” performed a handful of times by Jerry and band in β€˜75-76. Exquisite music β€” transcendent and spiritual jazz rock with Merle to honor Jerry’s life and art on the anniversary of his death. #gratefuldead #deadhead #daysbetween

I am following and will look for your posts. I love what’s happening today on the interesting edges of country with Sturgill, Tyler Childers, Billy Strings etc. ! Please follow back. 🎢

Yes. I see the power in that! Jessica is such a beautiful song in its full form and these days we forget how compartmentalized the music business was in the 70s! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

One wonders if they played the unabridged album version of Jessica.

Mystical-Prophetic Hero, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a prolific author and holy man who marched in the 1960s with Civil Rights leaders, said when he walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: β€œI felt my legs were praying.” #DrMartinLutherKingJr #CivilRights #Prayer

Truly an extraordinary thing. Blessed to live in these times to see this crazy band from down under.

Just back from Citi Field. As ornery and unhappy a post game crowd heading down the ramps as I ever remember. This team seems lifeless.

When I first saw D&C back in β€˜16 and I was a bit skeptical, it all clicked for me hearing Mayer sing Box of Rain.

Neat picture of Jerry. He looks angular and lean.

Hard to believe that I am taking my new listening recommendations from the New Yorker. But they got this right. Ryan Davis's music is really astounding -- especially great for folks who like Sturgill, Billy Strings, Charley Crockett, Tyler Childers etc. #music #Americana

Please, Marie, if you knew me you wouldn't criticize and insult me in such a way. I am hopelessly a libra and too often see all sides of things.I know probably much too much about my generation, especially my end of it born between 1965-70. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom, but not insulting me.

In these regards we have done better than the Boomers. Thank you for your ideas, and while I express some criticisms, Marie, I agree with much of what you say too about our generation and do believe there are many people who work hard to make a better world. Can we do better? Yes. I am hopeful.

I criticize and certainly don’t β€œtrash” because I am sad that we couldn’t do more, that we haven’t changed the world. Many people opted for material comfort and personal β€œsuccess” over change. Maybe there’s still time.

Of course l, all of these things are over generalizations β€” and in that way, a bit silly. I know many fabulous wonderful people in my generation and many change-makers but we’ve hardly been a transformational generation. Where has our Dr King or Caesar Chavez?

I am Gen X too and did not go into those fields either, but many did. I am not sure what our generation added to the common good.
