For Rex: The Black Tie Dye Ball

ALL NIGHT LONG BLUES
WHEN YOU SAY WHEN
The Black Tie Dye Ball was a benefit for the Rex Foundation, held in New York City in November 2005. The Zen Tricksters were joined by Donna Jean Godchaux, Rob Barraco, David Nelson, Tom Constanten, and other guests. The Donna Jean-ZT cnnection was so strong that they decided to form a new band, which they call Kettle Joe’s Psychedelic Swamp Review. Also in the new band are vocalist Wendy Lanter and keyboardist Mookie Siegel (of David Nelson Band fame). I got to hear Kettle Joe’s live in Ohio over the fourth of July weekend (and I sat in with them for a song, too) and I was just thrilled with the excellence of their show: great songs, fine singing, and some killer jamming. Mookie and the Tricksters are a great fit! You’ll be hearing some Kettle Joe’s music in an upcoming GD Hour.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from The Fool’s Paradise Festival, September 8 and 9 at Camp Minglewood in Central Southern New York – an all-inclusive outdoor festival including RV, tent camping and meals, as well as a limited number of VIP packages. Fool’s Paradise Festival includes Les Claypool, Particle, Jazz Mandolin Project, Herring Rodgers and Sipe, The Machine, and many more.
And from eDeadshop.com, an online store offering t-shirts, hats, stickers, tie-dyes, gifts, and other officially licensed merchandise form the Grateful Dead, Phish, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and many others.
