In a way, it's my way of dealing with, finding closure with Grateful Dead music, and giving thanks in a way to Jerry and Bob and all the guys in the band for making up this wonderful music.
There was always so much encouragement, to just really take it and run with it, from Deadheads.
So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.
To sing a simple round is truly an enlightening experience.
We sing a little song before we eat, a little blessing before we eat, and it's really - we're thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat, and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way.
