In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.
Jerry Garcia

There is no dogma, there isn't anything about how the universe works.
Jerry Garcia

I'll try any guitar just to see if it's different in an effort to see if it will lead me anywhere. I'm trying to have a guitar built. What's needed is better instruments, better amplifiers, better hardware for electric music to get better.

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.

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.

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.

The pursuit of happiness is such a large of concept.
Jerry Garcia
Image
I like all the kinds of music I've been into. I'm certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff. The thing I would like to be able to do is to make the music sound right no matter what it is. If somebody else wants to have a label for it, then that's their business.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.

The satisfaction of producing a work of art is the thing of getting off on it on some level.
Jerry Garcia
Image
The only way things work around here is if everybody wants it to work. If everybody wants it to work, then it has a prayer. Even then, there's no guarantee. But at least it has a prayer.

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