"One of the things that the Grateful Dead did was we spent a lot of time just turning each other on to music. If somebody was listening to something that really caught their ear, they'd make sure that everybody else in the band heard it, and that came home for us in innumerable ways." - Bob Weir. Kinda sounds like this place.

"A band asked me to go on tour when I was 22 and asked me to play drums, and I taught myself so I could go on this trip with these people. The drums found me; I didn't find them. When I started playing, I realized how appropriate an instrument it was for me." - Janet Weiss

I couldn't just do that at all." - Ian Curtis, born this day in 1956, committed suicide on 5-18-80 the day before Joy Division's first major US tour.

" We do whatever is needed. Sometimes not playing at all, which is the hardest thing to do on stage. A lot of people are uncomfortable with silence. This band kind of enjoys it." - Mark Sandman of Morphine. RIP and thanks for everything.

"The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues." - Willie Dixon, born this day in 1915.
