Loved the early Dead. Ron was a founding and contributing member of the Dead, The best white Blues guy I have ever heard. And the Dead followed his lead. The Janis. She validated Ron and the Dead.....Ron and Janice collbotated,,,,like you couldn't believe. To the Max. Both flew too close to the source.


I think Pigpen turned 75 yesterday.....hard to handle that he died at 28......


On edit: Maine guy here, John McKeenan (es GOP Gov of Me), Olympia Snowe's husband....Bill Cohen Republicans. Before LePage.

Anyways, didn't mean to call Ron, John, But this 25 minute white blues discussion is awesome.

BB and the HC was an awesome band as well. But Janice loved to play with the Dead, The whole crew loved Janice playing with Ron....


Thing is, Ron was Jerry's alter-ego. Two different dudes that arrived at the same place at that time. 1972....I think both died later..... :-{

Pretty hot stuff between 2 lovers that were doing it live......
