As a kid I used to "steal" into my father's study. He had three 8-tracks. Jim Corce. John Denver. Johnny Cash. Maybe my earliest memories are going into his office and putting on his headphones. Getting so lost in his music.
A few years ago I got dad a Cash box set.
Maybe the best gift I ever bought. My mom says he just has the CDs on repeat.
I don't have any children, my brother has a little girl. She likes to dance. I introduced her to the Dead and she is a big fan.
I need to get pictures, cause we dance the night away. Me 42. Her 2. The Dead! Maybe when she gets a little older I will explain to her how her "cool" uncle followed the Dead for a year or so :).
Oh and John Denver just flat out rocks.
