I guess if you just don’t like black licorice, you’re not going to like it no matter how it’s packaged (that’s a reference to something Jerry Garcia said once), but these guys do a pretty good “Dead 101” (Matt Wilber’s characterization).  Since this performance was exactly within my wheel house, I’d like to write a great deal more about it, but as we’ve been doing just lately, here’s the first song from tonight’s performance by Touch Of Grey so you’ve got something to listen to while we’re waiting, which might take a couple of days. “Brokedown Palace” was originally heard on 1970’s American Beauty album by the Grateful Dead. The embroidery on the back of the shirt I wore tonight (now 46 years old) is from that album cover.

(The Grateful Dead never performed this song in Iowa).

There will be more-please stay tuna’d.
