Booche Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 August 1"Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us." -Jerry GarciaGuitar.com: What are your musical limitations? Garcia: I’ve got nothing but limitations, I’m limited by everything — my technique, background, education, the things I’ve heard. I’m limited by being a human being. In a way, a musician with a distinctive style is in fact a product of his limitations. This is assuming that almost everybody plays at the outside edge of their ability — as good as they can do. How would you like to be remembered? Garcia: As a pretty okay musician. I don’t really expect to be remembered—that’s way ahead of me. I’m still trying just to get good. If I get good, then I might say I hope people remember how good I am. The idea of being remembered would be embarrassing to me at this point. It’s like, remembering is dangerous.

dogatthestation Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 "It could be that music is one of those things left that isn't completely devoid of meaning. Talk - like politics - has been made meaningless by endless repetition of lies. There is no longer any substance in it. You listen to a politition making a speech, and it's like hearing nothing. Whereas, music is unmistakably music. The thing about music is that nobody listens to it unless it's real. I don't think you can fool anybody for too long in music." -- Jerry Garcia (1971) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 1, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Astral Plane -------------When I was on earth and just a man I traveled long I traveled first making magic with my band With my trusty laughing wolf or maybe with my tiger in hand I sang to you I played for you I was such a happy man So many roads so many songs so many days I traveled long Stuck in the astral plane again won't you help me to get higher? stuck in the astral plane my friend won't you help me to inspire?Just my luck I was born a teacher I tried hard to be no preacher Spinning tales and singing songs plucking my strings I carried onBut my work here was not done A wounded warrior I should have knownI come to you now from the stars with your help the band plays on The music never stops it's always been here even in silence there are songs to hear CHORUSEveryone knew my face my smile, my beard, my glasses I tried hard to get to that place I tried for all the grateful masses And those that followed oh they knew but most did not even know me yet when the light came shining through together we all could see But something was not at ease some say I left too soon early one august with a full moon I slipped away I slipped away...---------------------© 2000. all rights reserved. tinsel tilde / 2012 Productions.
