    Young Deadhead
    Im a young (19) DeadHead livin in Melbourne, unfortunately i never even got the chance to see any Dead shows. i only heard Grateful Dead for the first time about 4 or 5 months ago but since then its pretty much all ive been listening too, as well as getting into alot of bluegrass and folk. Ive been drumming for around 5 years and for the most part ive been in jam bands, and im always looking for more people to get together and have a jam with. I would love to meet up with the Melbourne deadheads if your all still having those get togethers, and if you would welcome a young DeadHead, but from reading on here it doesent look like theres been one in a while, if someone could please get back to me that would be great. Email is thelandofbob@hotmail.com or pm me cheers Bob

    Hey all, I'm a deadhead transplant as well, originally from Santa Cruz, CA and now living in Fitzroy, Melbourne area. I play guitar off and on and would love to jam with others, there's not too much of a jam band scene out here (from what I know) and I def miss it. When is your guys next meet up? Cheers, Brian

    Any possibility that the Dead or Friends of Phil or Rat Dog or String Cheese Incident would tour NZ in 2010? Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm 74

    Thanks for the welcome!
    wannadanceWanaka, New Zealand We are Everywhere! I think I get a bit nostalgic around Jerry's birthday every year. I appreciate the warm welcome, Mary and Chas. I just downloaded a little bit of this year's High Sierra Festival 4th of July show from Leftover Salmon's newsletter. The kids and I have been dancing around the living room together. Mary, are you a musician? I've had a lot of good times in Oakland. When I moved to New Zealand the lack of live music was a bit of a culture shock for me. I decided that instead of whining about it I would have to make my own. Easier said than done. I bought a nice semi accoustic guitar, but I am still pretty challenged to bend it to my will. I think it has only made me more appreciative of 'good' music played by others. I'm really interested in finding out about jam bands in NZ and Aussie! Any NZ dates, downloads, links to sites are appreciated. cheers!

99.9 The Bay fm in Australia rocks out! Contemporary and Aboriginal music, plus a kick ass Grateful Dead show. What’s not to love.
“Listen to the River” looks great. 1971 is possibly my favorite year . Will have to wait for my old fart social security check in a couple weeks to order. Beans & rice , rice & beans, and a victory garden. Apricot trees (in town) , pick, dry and store.
Several weeks w/o ganga. I think the THC is still kicking in from what little fatty tissue i have on me and from all the smoked phatties from all the years combined.
Phatty Patrol wasn’t just the destination, it was the journey & adventure.

Champagne lifestyle on a near beer budget. Mesquite beans are almost ready also. Wild fruit trees. Bulk food order. Walk as much as I can. Keep from driving as many days in a row as possible.
Baby boomer retirement.
Enjoying the Australian based Grateful Dead radio show, Long Strange Trip. (Bay FM 99.9 Byron Bay) Contrary to some folks notions, radio is not dead. Streaming stations from around the world is an amazing way to get a glimpse, feeling, idea of what’s goin’ on. I really dig stations from Peru,Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Jamaica, Canada (Nunavut) and down under. Add in Tribal radio stations from around the U.S. As i live off the grid in the “outback” of the great Southwest this keeps me tuned in.
