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:
