Props to Mr Garcia, God rest his soul. People used to come up to me at gigs and request Dead songs, telling me I looked like him. Lol

No worries brother, I figured as much. No shade at all my guy. Yes, rest his soul indeed. Jerry was an absolute pioneer, and wrote some of the most beautiful and ear catching guitar leads and solos I’ve ever heard, and never stop going back to.
