Workingman’s Dead
Think this through with me ... The Dead release their 4th album on June 14, 1970. It's #409 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and is a must (Along with its companion, American Beauty) in any collection. Listen to Workingman's Dead by Grateful Dead on Amazon Music ... #TheGratefulDead #Workingmansdead #70srock #countryrock #folkrock #jerrygarcia #bobweir #roberthunter #rootsrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky
Join us for #FortnightFridayMusic by @MarkIngs.
The word for June 13 is "Omen"
Post and tell us about a #song with a title, lyric, theme or meaning related to the word.
Gonna go with Jerry Garcia's Reuben and Cherise which seems to fit the bill.

Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore”

"Uncle John's Band" is a song by the #GratefulDead that first appeared in their concert setlists in late 1969. The band recorded it for their 1970 album #WorkingmansDead. Written by guitarist #JerryGarcia and lyricist #RobertHunter, "Uncle John's Band" presents the Dead in an acoustic and musically concise mode, with #closeHarmony singing. The song is one of the band's best known, and is included on the #RockAndRollHallOfFames500SongsThatShapedRockAndRoll.

`"Crazy Fingers" was, in fact, all written beforehand. It was a page or two of haiku I'd been working on in a notebook. Jerry looked at them and said, "Hey, this might fit together as a song."` - Robert Hunter

He not only collaborated with the Dead on dozens of songs, he also worked with Elvis Costello, Warren Haynes, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Little Feat, and a little-known musician named Bob Dylan. #RobertHunter seems a bit forgotten as an unsung hero in popular music. He died in 2019, but it certainly appears his music will last far into the future.

It's been a stressful few days, I plugged into this *gorgeous episode* to chill.
Yes, because I'm a diehard deadhead, since ever.

@shlenny I'm sure they'll appreciate my particular passion for #TomMarshall #Phish #JeffTweedy #Wilco #BobDylan #BobMarley #RobertHunter #JohnPerryBarlow #GratefulDead song lyrics too right?
Daily #SteveKimock. A couple years ago Gregg Anton went back and reviewed tapes from their epic run at the #GreatAmericanMusicHall in 92. They had already released cuts from the shows on their Chance in a Million album.
Gregg realized that there were still lots of tracks worth releasing. They were eventually released last year as Naught Again.
Here’s one of my favorite cuts, written by #RobertHunter
