All around the world this Sunday people are celebrating and remembering Jerry Garcia, and we’d be remiss
if we didn’t light a candle with them. 15 years gone and never forgotten – not for a single day – Garcia remains a
luminous, life affirming, oddly wise presence in myriad lives. Some folks truly do channel and embody larger cosmic
forces, and without a doubt Jerry was one of them. But beyond that, he was a grand musician who left one of the
most indelible impressions of all-time. A guitarist beyond compare, a singer with abundant character, a brilliant
interpreter of masters like Dylan, a composer of resoundingly huge ideas and a storyteller that carried others on his
sojourns, Jerry Garcia was as unique a soul as ever walked this earth, and we miss him so much it makes us hurt. We
know we’re not alone in this and offer up a small selection of choice moments as we blow a kiss skyward. (

the pulse of this thing.
