  Once upon a time, I looked into a woman's eyes as her ex-
husband was pounding on the front door yelling her name.  I
said, "This is not the time to panic."  She said, "When is
the time to panic?"  I said, "Never!"
  Some of you picked up on Congestive Heart Failure out of
my "Big Hearts" post.  This is a progressive condition.  
They'll whack him with a little digitalis to slow Jer's 
heart rate and increase the force of contraction.  Diuretic
therapy will take care of the fluid in his lungs.  Uncle
Jerry did NOT have a heart attack and he could live with
this condition and perform for another 25 years.
  Tindall has juvenile onset diabetes.  We've found out that
when Mike is in fit spiritual condition, his diabetes is 
well controlled as long as he takes his insulin and basically
cuts out sugar, (exept for a RARE treat).  Jer needs some
changes in lifestyle and proper medication.  He's just fine!
  Digitalis comes from a plant.  I found what I thought was 
someone's pot vial a long time ago in one of the Science 
lecture halls used for a pharmacology class.  We rolled a 
joint out of it and on the first toke your heart would go
BBWWWWAAAAAAOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!!  The only dude who took 2
tokes puked.  I took it to the Pharmacology Proffessor and
appologized for smoking a joint's worth of his sample.

Now if we could just figure out how much digitalis to put in
a joint...  Jer wouldn't have to go through such a radical
lifestyle change!  

   Nothing left to do but :-):-):-)

In the new issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, the one with Michele Pfeiffer
on the cover (merow!), there is a small story about SONY updating the
audio CD format.
It goes on to say that the current way CD's are made, the can only put a maximum
of 74 minutes of music on the CD. Its not that the CD companies CHOOSE to release
2-cd sets they havent a choice... until now. :)

Coming VERY soon sony will release the manufacturing directions to start
the production of CD's that can now store up to 3 hours of music.
So maybe our 3 From the vault will be an entire show, or most of it, but on
one CD. Hopefully this new CD format (which is not really a new format, simply
 a new manufacturing method) will also help save on packaging
(we all HATE those fat 2-disc longboxes) and simply cut costs.
(why pay for 2 cd's when it fits on one?)...

ON ANOTHER NOTE: refunds for fall tour.
Just after veneta and shoreline was cancelled and before the jerry news
was released, the mail order ticket problem hotline message you get
when theyre not open, said that they were NOT MAILING MSG ORDERS...
so everyone, myself included, who ordered MSG tix can expect their
MONEY ORDERS returned to them. They were being mailed out starting MONDAY
AUGUST 17th... Boston series 1 and 2 however seem to have been mailed
for the most part. In those cases you will get a check from GDTS...

QUESTION! I would rather not mail back all 6 boston tix in just a plain
envelope. Will GDTS accept registered mail or simply insured mail
for sending the refund tix back? Cause those tix, good or no,
are still worth their face value until stamped VOID...
Id hate to lose them in the mail.

So, this is of course wild speculation, but what do we think the chances of
the fall tour actually happening are? The Cap Center shows are less than a
month away, and they are 'postponing' TM sales of these tickets. They 
obviously think there is a pretty good chance of this tour being cancelled,
or else they wouldnt postpone these ticket sales. Seems to me they are
trying to limit the number of refunds they have to give.

After all, hasnt everyone said that Jerry needs a month to recover? A month
from now is after the Crap Center shows. Maybe they will bag the urban
blight tour, and a well rested jerry will burn the east coast (including
Hampton) down with a raging JGB tour?

So as I understand it, the only way to buy tickets now (since mail
order is over) for the Garden shows is from WBCN's Rock Stops. And
not only that, you first have to get a bracelet, about 1 week in
advance. And the only place it's going to be announced when the
bracelets will be given away is on WBCN, on the air. So that means
you have to sleep with a radio glued to your ear. Is this true?

If you don't want people telling you not to light up then go out to the
concourse of the arena or out on the lawn of the amphitheatre or wereever
it is that they have designated as a smoking area.  You have the right
to smoke where the arena says its ok but smoking inside is running a
lot of other peoples fun.  It won't kill you to go to the smoking area.
Except the smoke you inhale when you get there!  But if you smoke inside
then everyone gets to have there lungs slowly ruined by you.

Hey folks,                     

Take this with a grain of salt if you choose.  I don't usually believe in 3rd
party rumors but what I heard last night really upset me.  I have a friend
who is a NeXT machine user and she knows a lot of people who are involved with
it.  One of the people she knows is John Barlow (sp?) who is a writer for the
NeXT magazine and for the Grateful Dead.  If you don't recall, some of the songe
he help write are Throwing Stones, Mexically Blues, Hell in a Bucket.  Anyway,
he and Bob Weir are good friends and (here comes the "he said, she said" part)
my friend said that John said that Bob said that this may be the end of the
band as far as he can tell.  DON'T GET EXCITED.  This is not definite but a
posibility.  I don't know who else Bob told this to or what mood or frame of
mind he was in at that time but this is just Bob's prediction and it is also
just a rumor I heard last night.  Let just hope Bob is wrong and hold the
flaming down to a minimum.  Take care folks.

I think I would have to agree when it comes to your normal old rock and roll
band but the dead definately are not that.  If I remember correctly, Jerry
was quoted saying something like, "Jazz is what it's all about" or "Jazz is
where it's at".... Could anyone confirm this?

    As far as complex changes go, they may not be something like Ornithology
but some of the dead's songs get pretty close.  For example, Crazy Fingers
has a long-ass, complicated chord progression (which I absolutely love)
and Jerry plays over all of the changes.... I think that a direct comparision
can be made in many instances but, of course, not all.  Either way, the
study of jazz is really just an extended study of contemporary music and it
has many implications and applications to all music in general and not just
what the dead play.  I think jazz theory is one of the reasons why the dead 
sound so different from other rock bands.

   Also, a point I would like to bring up is that, playing over simple major
and minor chords, in my humble opinion, is much harder than playing over
jazz chords and the like.  The harmonic spectrum you have to work with is so
much narrower and you have to be really carefull with your music.  Playing
over jazz chords can be a lot more reckless.  To illustrate, think of the
English language:  We have 26 letters and millions of words.  Now, this is
jazz.  Now, give us only 11 letters and cut our words by over half... this 
is major and minor chords.  With this kind of limitation I find it amazing
that Jerry can play so many particularly excellent lines and melodies.
It's definately a product of experience combined with applied jazz techinques.

Comments?  Suggestions?   Ideas?   I'm open for some discussion.....

Organization: Marshall University

Five Grateful Dead shows have been canceled because band leader Jerry Garcia is
suffering from exhaustion, a spokesman said.

Doctors who examined Garcia, 50, found no specific medical problem but said the
performer needed at least a month's rest, band spokesman Dennis McNally said. 
After a 17-show summer tour with the Dead, the guitarist and singer had toured
with the Jerry Garcia Band.

"He is exhausted," McNally said.  "He needs rest and a good healthy regime,
which he is getting.  He's at home.  He's not in the hospital."

Dates when non-mail-order tickets were to go on sale for the Dead's East Coast
tour next month have been postponed until further notice.
