    The posts in this thread make fascinating reading.... But almost every post leaves me wanting to know if there was a happy ending. Did they find eachother again? How was it? It would be grate to hear some stories of happy reunions!

    Mickey's eyes are brown.............good luck on your quest Too bad your birth mom is not more cooperative! "Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on." think all you can do now is listen to the music play.......... xoxox Gypsy Cowgirl

    Thanks for responding to my post. I also appreciate you giving me other ideas as to bands to look at. I checked out Frank Zappa and it looks like he has brown eyes....Bill's photos looks like he has brown eyes, but Mickey's look like they may be blue. Unfortunately contact with my birthmother has proved to be difficult as she is still living like she was in the 60's...roaming and not settling down anywhere....bouncing from friends to friends. Contact was made with her father and he said she only calls and checks in periodically. When he was asked about what band he thought my father played for his response was Grateful Dead. She supposedly is still following some of the members...I was born in Alaske in 1969, but she was only there visiting her mother and step father as he was in the military there. After she had me she brought me back to her Dad's house in Houston, Tx. I don't know where she was when I was conceived. I wish I knew where my incredible genes came from...as it doesn't appear it was from my mom...lol! Just kidding! I think my father would be proud of me...I'm well accomplished in life and have always had a natural gift of being musically inclined. I've taught dance for the last 20 years as a hobby...funny, Bill's mother was a dance teacher! There is no telling who he could be and I'll probably never find out. I would just hate to go through life and leave this earth never knowing. I enjoy getting to know others on this site and really appreciate both you and gratefulmom for responding to my post.

    Bernstein that is, she lived in Chicago back in the early 80's till we met in Santa Fe, NM. Then she relocated to Berkley,Ca. We dated for a couple years till I left Ca for treatment in MN. Been here 22 years. Just wondering how you are? Franko

    hi-just wanted to say good luck finding your father. Also, I believe both Mickey & Billy have brown eyes. If you've found your mother, she may be of more help than anyone. (as to what bands she was with) Also, where were you born? Frank Zappa had alot of groupies.......So, just good luck again! Gypsy Cowgirl

    Can anyone see the resemblance?
    Well, I've been looking at the photos of both Mickey and Bill.....Weird thing is I can see a resemblance in Mickey but some of Bill's photos look like my 15 year old son. Can anyone else out there see the resemblance or is it just me? Help me out guys....I'd really like to know. If anyone has thoughts on other bands that had a drummer with brown/black hair and blue eyes I could be looking at let me know. I was born in 1969 to an unwed mother who was a groupie....her name is Billie.

Searching for that young woman who I miracled into the show back in the 90's. Not much going on here just another late night thinking about the project ahead of me! Yawn. Where did all those people go? Well, I must be getting older. Time for some ZZZZZ's.

Yeah, I might have to make a internet show of photos the way things are going these days.

Hello! I’m the daughter of Perry Green. She passed when I was 5 so I’m trying to dig through her history in hopes of learning more about her. I’d assume she traveled throughout California shows in the late 70s- early 80s. She was beautiful, kind and had a great laugh :)

We connected after I left FL. I posted a " missed connection" on CL and a friend told you about it. Since then, you have disappeared; someone told you to "break ties with your past" Well, I disagree! ( for what that's worth.) I told you I think of you when I see Orion in the Eastern Sky. He rises in the winter when we met at the " Warf" where Crazy Fingers would play on Thursdays. I hope you or a friend sees this and asks you to reach out. I sure miss you.
sincerely
Ruddy

My lovely wife Sue worked for Emily K in Santa Barbara around 1980, and she had a coworker named Karen Mariott, who was from Ventura, Ca. We became friends with Karen and husband Bill, who lived in Ventura. I last saw Bill in Ojai in 1985.
They went to shows with the Beanie Copter Crew, in CalTrans orange.
Karen used to bake goodies for Harry Popick, who mixed stage monitors
We lost track of them many years ago, and hope to reconnect..

Hi! I am trying to find Marcus, the shakedown street vendor artist who creates the soft black Tshirts screen printing a white pirate stealie with swords on the front. I would like to support this artist by purchasing 4 shirts from him as I did not have the money while at the last two shows - in NY and in PA. Thank you so much!!!

Looking for an old friend from the early 80s's. His name was Skip, and attended many shows in that period, selling shirts and other things he made. He also had a store selling his dead shirts and other similar items in Queens, NY in 1983, when i knew him. Any one know who i am talking about and any idea if he is still with him and how to contact him?

It's been 30 years now since we last hitchhiked across across the land from sea to sea to sea over mountains across endless plains through National parks and forests through a desert or two north south east west whichever way the flip of a lucky quarter directed us to go . It's been 15 years or so since we last kicked around a hackysack somewhere near Dayton Ohio . You met and married your wife there and had started a family . We lost contact after that day . Never thought that as I drove away it would be the last time we would see or talk to each other. I tried to get in touch with you through Willie a couple years ago only to find that he had passed away ( my condolences he was a good friend and brother ) . I know this is a long shot since you have no presence anywhere on the net that I can find which is not a surprise considering where and how you were living and I assume still are . If by chance you should come across this message just know that your legend lives forever in memories with kind smiles . Peace be the journey and blessed be thy thumb . Hope you are well and that we will meet again if not in this lifetime then in the next .

It just makes me a bit sad that so many people are looking for folks that made an indelible impression on them. Do they find each other and reunite? Could they use this site to do that? I want to see a success story! Please! Here Comes Sunshine…!

We attended some shows together and parted ways, and lost each other for 19 years
We recently reconnected because I had cancer
We have lost each other again
Maybe next lifetime we will be there pirate ship I will love you forever

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny!!!!! I know you!! I don't actually. I know of you because back somewhere between 95-98, I was in Santa Cruz when my friend Paul Rush rode his motorcycle all the way from Delaware to hopefully meet up with me. Unfortunately I had left to go back to PA three days before his arrival. We wrote many letters back and forth, and Paul wrote about you, and how you had helped him when he first got to Santa Cruz. I'm hoping you know of some way to reach him because somehow we lost touch and I've been looking for him for many many years. My name is Tarah Smith- aka Cordy. My email address is autodidact43@outlook.com

Hey now!

Anyone know how to find the person or people in charge of licensing for Dead-related stuff?

I'm trying to navigate through Rhino and the only licensing stuff I can find seems to be about music. What about gear?

Thanks in advance for any help or answers provided!

Anyone know this lady Deadhead? She made these beautiful hand-painted parking lot shirts in 1980. I bought one. They were a limited edition of 100. I just wonder if she is still around. Thanks.

Looking for Cindy Wright. Bay Area deadhead who used to work at BASS tickets and who was seeing the Dead since her first show at the closing of the Fillmore West in July 1971. She lived in Oakland or Alameda but was originally from Modesto or some other Central Valley time. Message me on twitter at @DrBeechwood if you have any info!

Tobin and I attended July 10th 1987 Dylan/Dead show in Philly together and he got lost en route to the venue! We also went to the same high school, Bullis, in Potomac, MD circa 86-87. I'd love to run into him again and catch up.
I knew Domo from school too. Good times.
Is anybody else out there a dead head from Bullis HS in the late 80's? Did you attend our little Trips festival we had in Fall '86 at school during 'Recreation Day' or some such thing?
