| In August 1995 we went to Alaska to perform at the Bald Eagle Music Festival which is part of the Southeast Alaska State Fair. Damn we had fun! I'm sure we're all gonna remember that trip for a very long time. Especially since we were there when Jerry Garcia passed. It was absolutely surreal walking along the streets of Haines, Alaska hearing a radio blaring PAUL HARVEY eulogizing Jerry. "This is Paul Harvey..... good day!" Yeah, right. Let's see. L to R: That's Mook copping a feel offa Little Bear, Bronco Bill, Barry, the reverend Rich George, David doing... I don't know.... something... peculiar, and Arthur. |
