Here is the latest news from David Gans, producer and host of the Grateful Dead Hour.

Remembering George Harrison

From Paul Ingles in New Mexico:
Five years ago today, I was laying in bed in the early morning hours when the clock radio clicked on with the news that George Harrison had died.  I can remember feeling this huge vibration rattle down my spine and a mixture of sadness and appreciation swept through me at once. It’s no secret that the Beatles had a huge impact on my life.  If you’re getting this email it’s because it’s something that I know (or suspect) is true of you too. Today I will spend a little time recalling George’s life and music.    Here’s an 8 minute piece and links to other material about George if you care to spend any time reflecting yourself this week.

Thanksgiving weekend travels

Rita and I drove to southern California for Thanksgiving gatherings with her family and mine. The weather was perfect, and the feasts and family fun were splendid.

Here are some photos from our trip.

How was your Thanksgiving?

Jake’s Leg celebrates 30 years

Drea Stein writes from St. Louis:

Just wanted to let you know that Jake’s Leg celebrated their 30th anniversary last night (Friday, November 24). They sold out an 1,800 seat venue. That was the first time that a local band ever sold out this venue. Our local paper ran a really nice article on them that I thought you might enjoy.

They have always put out such a great vibe and last night was totally awesome. Yeah, I’m proud of our guys….

peace, drea

I played a gig with Jake’s Leg a few years ago. Great bunch of guys, and they do the music proud. Congratulations!!

DTTW – special time this week + NRPS live!

This week’s (Wednesday, November 29) Dead to the World starts at 9:00 pm (an hour late) and runs til midnight.

KPFA is broadcasting a fundraiser for the Pacifica Network Archives on November 28 and 29, and it ends Wednesday at 9pm PST. Larry Kelp has graciously yielded his “Sing Out” air time so we can do our two-hour live broadcast of the New Riders of the Purple Sage – it’ll just start an hour later, and continue until 11 pm or so.

The NRPS set will be webcast on nugs.net in additional to the usual KPFA.org and KFCF.org webcasts. And of course, broadcast the old-fashioned hi-fi FM way on 94.1 in northern California and 88.1 in Fresno CA.
