The title of this post, So Many Roads, aptly describes both our travels of the past 17 days as well as the path followed by Jerry Garcia’s adventuresome life.
It’s somewhat hard to believe how much time has passed, but Jerry played his last concert with the Grateful Dead 10 years ago this evening.
Chicago’s Soldier Field was the scene and So Many Roads was the next to last song on which he sang the lead vocals. Always a powerful song, on this version he just wails with a plaintive cry that gives me pause just remembering.

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own.
Thanks for the link to archive.org. I am looking into that. But, even more interested now in the “Gratuitous anti-spam checkbox.” Is that a moveabletype plugin?
