"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
- Anthony Bourdain

21 years ago we lost one of the great troubadours and Fort Worth royalty, Townes Van Zandt. It’s time I make my annual pilgrimage to visit him as he lays in rest not far from me. Your words will haunt me forever, Townes. To live is to fly.

On December 31, 1963 Jerry Garcia was playing a banjo in a back room at Dana Morgan's Music Store while waiting for his regular Tuesday night students to arrive. Since it was New Year's Eve they never came, but a group of friends from Atherton out looking for a place to spend the holiday evening heard the music and went to the door. Among the boys were Bob Matthews, one of Jerry's students, and his classmate Bob Weir.
Jerry got instruments from the front of the store for everyone and they jammed the rest of the night. Soon afterward, they formed the jug band Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, which became the Warlocks and then the Grateful Dead. Bob Matthews was an early sound engineer for the Dead during shows and on studio recordings.
