The Bear Came By and I got on.
Thanks Tammy!

I really enjoyed seeing this tattoo tonight.
I was unable to find a New Years Day Other One to share with you, so here's one from my birthday in 1972. Very heavy on Phil in the mix, which is sort of a treat for Other One fans.

"That's It For The Other One"
Words and music by Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann ("That's It For the Other One," composed and written by Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann.
(culled from Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics)
The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded,
Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die."
All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin',
Every leaf was turnin', to watch him die, you know he had to die.
The summer sun looked down on him,
His mother could but frown on him,
And all the other sound on him,
He had to die, you know he had to die.
["Quodlibet for tenderfeet": Instrumental]
["The Faster We Go The Rounder We Get: aka part 2]
Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose.
It rainbow spirals round and round,
It trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind,
I like to blow away.
But the heat came round and busted me
For smilin on a cloudy day
[Chorus]
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, comin' around in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle,
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle.
Escapin' through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal
At the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land
[Chorus]
["We Leave the Castle"]
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,Their minds remained unbended,
He had to die, oh, you know he had to die.
