I love hoops, loved watching Bill play. I think it was Bill who in the late 70's prompted me to look closely at the Grateful Dead. I figured if he loved them there must be something there.
I saw Bill at Dead and Dead & CO shows. I never got to talk to him, but I'd watch him from a distance. He was always kind and friendly to people. Another reminder of why I've loved the scene ever since.
Folks, if you've never been to a Dead show, go. If you can make it to The Sphere, go. There's plenty of tickets well below face.
Maybe you'll learn you're a Deadhead?
You don't have to have seen the Dead with Jerry to be a Deadhead. There's no minimum amount of shows. If you love adventure, their music, what the Dead have meant to the world, the scene, you're a Deadhead.
Thanks for turning me on, Bill
