Last Saturday we celebrated Jerry Garcia's birthday. Today we pay our respects and honor his passing 16 years ago.

It's always nice when I go looking for a piece of video to post and find something special that I've never seen before. Jerry Garcia's rendition of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes done for the movie Smoke (which I have just added to my NF queue)...







You can see lots more pictures and learn more about Jerry Garcia and the 47 other musicians in my tribute book, Everybody I Shot Is Dead.

My bad. I totally glossed over Jerry Garcia's birthday yesterday. Not good.

So, this post is a Happy Belated 67th Birthday to Mr. Jerry Garcia. If you don't know who he is you were either born last month or you are brain dead from all the hallucinogenics you took at the Grateful Dead concerts in the sixties and seventies.

Sadly, all three are gone.

And a couple of songs from the same show...taped at NBC on May 7, 1981...
