News travels fast in the family. The first call I got Wikipedia still said "is" but it already was. He was the kid in the band  hard to take all these departures, inevitable though they are

John Mayer; "Thanks for letting me ride alongside you. It sure was a pleasure. If you say it’s not the end, then I’ll believe you. I’ll meet you in the music. Come find me anytime."

Weir once said .. “I had a little flash while we were playing one night. It was toward the end of the tour. I don’t remember what city it was in. We were getting into the second set, setting up a tune. We were all playing, but the tune hadn’t begun yet. We were all feeling out the groove, just playing with it. Suddenly I was 20 feet behind my own head, looking at this and kind of happy with the way the song was shaping up. I started looking around, and it was 20 years later. John’s hair had turned gray. Oteil’s had turned white. I looked back at the drummers, and it was a couple of new guys. I looked back at myself, the back of my head, and it was a new guy. It changed my entire perception of what it is we’re up to.”

An old college buddy (I took him to his first show, Milwaukee Civic Auditorium, spring '80; he went to see at least 100 more) just sent me this:

Saw John Mayer speak, he had pre-written it, the message was beautiful.

Grahame Lesh hosted a Bobby Tribute show and benefit for the Further Foundation last night at the Warfield. It was streamed for free on youtube by Nugs, if anyone wants to watch the show the link is below. Not sure how long it will be available for replay. Show started around 9:30 and we watched until one AM before crashing out. Lots of musicians involved, must have been difficult to pull together so quickly. The set break was about 35-40 minutes, they showed a photo montage during the break.

Saw that Al Di Meola covered Uncle John’s Band a few nights ago at one of his shows. ♥️
