R.I.P. Phil

Heartbreaking news. Phil Lesh of the Greatful Dead passed away today. First Jerry and now Phil. End of an era but at least we still have the music. Keep on trucking Phil .

The man was an icon. Quite possibly the most influential bass guitarist in history. He took it from bass playing to bass guitar playing. His Clubhouse on UTube are wonderful. The Dead saw a lot of publicity aimed at Garcia but this band was a truly collaborative effort by a group of uniquely competent musicians.

Drug addicts. Uniquely competent functional drug addicts.
