19 years ago today I was with my family in Rangely Maine at a family Reunion. I think we’d gone into a small local store.. and that’s when I heard that Jerry Garcia had died. \u00a0I remember it took the breath out of my a little. I’ve always loved the Dead.. it’s what I still listen too when no one else is around.. I even have a station in my car that only plays their stuff. I’ve never been a complete deadhead and followed them around.. but I have been to more shows than I can remember.\u00a0 Gabe was only 3 months old.. Sam was3 and Max must have been 7. I remember thinking that\u00a0 “i’ll never be able to take them to a Grateful Dead show”..\u00a0 Funny thing is, all three boys learned to play China Cat Sunflower as one of their first guitar songs..<\/p>\n

Thank you Jerry for all the music you put out in the world.. we’re all still enjoying it.<\/p>\n

Tonight Diane, Ellen and I went back to the waterfront to here some more music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tonight It was the Avett Brothers. A band I honestly hadn’t hear of until Ellen mentioned them to us on Thursday. I don’t know what rock I must have been living under.. 4000 fans were there tonight.. all ages.. and they all seemed to know all the songs…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To be honest I had to listen a while to ‘get’ them.. I’d heard a few of their ballads that sounded a little like townes van zandt songs.. Those I really liked. I wasn’t prepared for the amazing wall of sound they brought . The two brothers were amazing musicians.. one on banjo, one on guitar. that was surrounded by stand up base, a fiddle player, drums, (excellent !)\u00a0 , keyboard player and a very cool Chinese guy that played the cello like it was an electric guitar. They were loud and high energy.. .. sort of like a bluegrass Mumfred and Sons.. or drop kick murpheys maybe. By the end of the show I was in the groove. \u00a0 They even played ‘Uncle John’s Band’ as an Homage to Jerry ..<\/p>\n

Here my favorite song of theirs.. “You and love and I”.. They didn’t play t tonight..<\/p>\n

I want to also shout out to the lead act, David Mayfield <\/a>. He was an amzing musician and entertainer. He really worked the crowd well. I’m goign to check out more of his stuff !<\/p>\n

It was a really beautiful; day.. I’m grateful for that.<\/p>\n
