gentlemonkey Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Jerry's guitars I know the Booche bros love reading about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 I still don't know what to make of it all. I mean, who the hell is GDP these days? Is Bob Weir silent about all of this? I would think that being a lifelong friend/partner he'd just want to do what Jerry willed.Still, I'm sort of wondering why there isn't an uproar from the deadheads blasting Irwin for wanting to auction the guitars off. I think he should be able to do what he wants, including getting a ton of money out of his life's commitment, but I'm just suprised I haven't seen any bitching about that.

Booche Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 As I told Giggles not too long ago, "I dont care if a collector buys them, Irwin can do whatever he wants with them."Phil: Now that Jerry's not here to play them, I don't care if they go into someone's vault. neither do I, its not like I would travel 1000 (or even 100 for that matter) miles just to look at them.let him sell the guitars and give GDP a final bid if they want one. let the madness end.

Hux Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 There has been quite a bit of displeasure voiced on dead.net (DNC) I think the big fear among people who didn't want Irwin to get the axes was that he plans on selling them, and some fear that'll be the last anyone sees of them...

bouche Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 I think it was pretty much the last anyone would see of them once jerry died. I think Phil said something in that regard in his quote too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogatthestation Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 The best part of that article in rolling stone is the post in the message board at the bottom."i feel as if Garcia was a tota lfish out of water when it comes to a real serious relationship he didnt plan to have a family and had to give last valuable possesion to his guitar maker that is a valuable lesson that the rock culture can learn if you want to have a family make some plans first even if your not the most neatest handsomest guy in the world"The perfect summation really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Hmmm...I think I kind of care where these guitars get to. A guitar pocesses an extrordinary amount of energy. Ist of all the energy to create a guitar...it is (when handcrafted) a labour of love, of passion, and of desire to make something someone else will cherish. Then the player...(who in this case happens to be someone who really cared, and enjoyed playing these instruments) adds so much energy...that is absorbed by the wood....it nevers goes away it only gets richer and more potent by the years. That may sound cheezy...but it is true. As a lover of guitars, music, and as well Jery Garcia...I can't help but go Hmmmm, who getting these things? I they really want...I'll hold on to them...give them te respect they deserve! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 That's so well put. It couldn't be more accurate than describing the many nights of incredible energy flowing in and out of those guitars, jerry, the crowd over so many years.I'm sure if you put your ear up to the wood grain, you could hear Jerry playing Morning Dew.

Velvet Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Last summer I went to the Rock & Roll Museum in Cleveland (which is amazing - go if you're in the area) and there were 5 Jerry guitars. And the coolest thing was they were pretty much the only things in the place that you could take a picture of. No camereas inside and the Jerry guitars aren't officially inside, they're in the lobby. Pretty cool to see all five of them close up. If I had the technology I'd scan in some photos for y'all, but I am computerly incapacitable.
