Hey, Oteil. Whatcha doing?
“Jerry Tribute! Seeing my friends, playing some of the Big Guy’s tunes, having a good time!”
You’re a positive dude.
“I am.”
You liking Colorado?
“Parts of it. Parts of Colorado are delightful.”
And the rest of it?
“Alabama with mountains.”
True. You should stay in the back of the bus while you’re there.
“Excuse me?”
Dude, I meant the master bedroom of your luxury cruiser.
“Still.”
How heavy is that thing?
“I think it’s made from a neutron star.”
That’s what I hear.
“Time goes faster when you’re near it.”
Sure did for Garcia.
“Maybe that was it.”
Could be. Or the smoking, heroin, and ice cream.
“A combination of the four.”
Probably.
Yes, the Tiger has been converted to a bass. Well, at least for a little while.
Kimock has said on some message boards that Garcia set his guitars up with really high action.. Do you suppose they adjusted the action that night so the weak fingered youngsters could play?
That’s how you winnow the weak from the strong.
