Bill!, Subject-line brings to mind our Bodhisattva corporate behavior.
Guitar-sounds again. But I'm also very impressed and happy to see how happy Jerry looks! In the video, from 02:30 to 05:00, he is such an exemplary happy looking performer. And it's infectious, if this tea is not too strong or weak for you. I like his playing so typically an octave high on the strings. And the instrument is a beauty. Of course, Bob is on the other guitar, and Phil is the white-shirt on the right on Bass. There's the drummer Mickey, and I think Ms. Godchaux with the backing vocals and movement. The Grateful Dead -- Scarlet (Begonias): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoG4uQUiTcs This performance is at the closing of Winterland in New York City on Dec. 31, 1978. I was in town, but not at the concert. Sad event, the closing, but you couldn't tell it in Jerry's face. The videographer and editor must be guitarists, because we get to see a lot of Jerry's fingering pretty closely, without a lot of cutting. Helpful to me. Bill!, if you don't play electric, this may get you to have second thoughts about that reticence (?). ;-) Jerry looks like a younger Sensei Bernie Glassman, but with hair! And he preaches the Dharma like Glassman bakes bread. Jerry's instrument is so pretty, and I think a Lacewood body, probably a one-off custom unit, with the double hum-bucker pickups and neck pickup. But a super-quality, agile, functional one almost like Jerry's, with a fast neck, and very lightweight compared with my Strat, is here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/dean-vendetta-xm-electric-guitar I play one of these, the warm wood-grained one. It is fine. "Strangers stopping strangers, just to shake a hand... ". So the song goes. My bed-time music tonite, it happens.
