Thanks KP... It's been on my mind all day... It always is on the 9th of August...
I was at a Fly Shop outside of Jackson, WY the day I heard of Jerry's passing. We had heard Dead tunes on the radio all morning as we left our campsite (we had driven up from Colorado the night prior).
I was thinking to myself "This town rules, they rock the Grateful Dead alll the d**n time!"
When we walked into West Branch Anglers and heard "Foolish Heart" on the radio behind the counter, I expressed my approval to the kid at the register. His eyes got heavy, his voice low, and said...
"You guy's haven't heard? Jerry is gone." I don't think I will ever forget that.
Miss ya, Jer... Thanks, man... Thanks for all of it!
