Deadheads

The JGB Band is one planet in a small cosmos of Grateful Dead successor bands that metaphorically orbit the memory of the original Dead. A JGB member is related to a friend of mine and graciously invited us to a local performance. I had never been to a Dead event and found that the fans confirmed my preconceptions by being colorful, mellow and diverse in age. Good times.
