Thanks to my college buddy Jim Doten, I have been to a Grateful Dead concert.

It was sometime in the early 1980s when the San Francisco circus came to the University of South Florida Sun Dome in Tampa. As a long-time Deadhead, Big Jim was eager to share one of his favorite things with his straight-arrow little buddy. And if you knew Jim – the mellowest of the mellow – you’d know it’s hard to say no to him on just about anything. I never pass up a chance to spend a day with one of the greatest friends I have.
RICHARD LOREN podcast excerpt: "Jerry Garcia was a real human being. He was a mentor to me in how to behave as a real human being. He's the kind of guy that treated everybody with deep respect. He wasn't on any ego trip. He was kind. He was humble. In the course of the years I was with him, we traveled a lot and we met a lot of people. And everybody he met and encountered he made them feel as if they were his friends. They walked away and went, 'Wow! Jerry Garcia, man!' He cared about everybody. He was extremely intelligent; he was extremely well-read. He was a rock 'n' roll Buddha."
