     and lots and lots of the Grateful Dead. 
     
     
     PS: As a teenager, lots of my friends were Dead Fans, but I just 
     enjoyed them as party music...didn't really care one way or t'other. 
     But on my throughhike, somewhere in Vermont on a high, high mountain, 
     in a lonely, lonely leanto in the pines, wind whistling all 'round, I 
     stopped for a rest and picked up the journal to read out of the wind. 
     Someone wrote
     
     When I die, please bury me deep
     and place two speakers at my feet
     and place some headphones on my head
     and always play the Grateful Dead!
     
     and I thought to myself, I thought "Self!, Any music group that 
     inspires that kind of thought is a group worth a second listen!" And 
     when I got back to civilization, I did listen, and listen, and 
     listen......

     'You better get back to Tennessee, Jed"
