All I know is, if you listen to society, you'll never get anywhere!
Jerry Garcia

Each person makes their own decision about what it is that is happening, whether they like it or don't like it, whether they want to lend their energy to it or not or what, you know.
Jerry Garcia
Image
You have to be ready, and also you have to discard notions that are fondly held by a lot of musicians, about sequences and notes and about scales and musical systems as a whole. If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.

Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.

We are not completely autonomous.

For me, I think the only danger is being too much in love with guitar playing. The MUSIC is the most important thing, and the guitar is only the instrument.
Jerry Garcia

You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.
Jerry Garcia

You have to get past the idea that music has to be one thing. To be alive in America is to hear all kinds of music constantly: radio, records, churches, cats on the street, everywhere music. And with records, the whole history of music is open to everyone who wants to hear it.

I sat down to my supper, twas a bottle of red whiskey.

I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.

So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.

In folk music, I've always been fond of the fragment. The song that has one verse. And you don't know anything about the characters, you don't know what they're doing, but they're doing something important. I love that. I'm really a sucker for that kind of song.

Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been.
