Dead Quilt for Friend

Here is a recent story that caught my attention about the kind efforts of some deadheads helping another deadhead -

And that's where you come in.
I want your old Dead T-shirts. Or, rather, Sherri wants them.

Free Furthur Streaming

"The 300-capacity venue's phones were ringing off the hook, and demand wasn't dampened by Grateful Dead Ticketing's unorthodox decision to require would-be attendees to fill out a form and fax it in to be included in a ticket lottery.

Orlando, Florida

The featured Grateful Dead show this week on our beloved Shakedown Stream ™ is from April of 1991. It will be one of the three Dead shows from this three night stand in Orlando, FL. By the end of January, we will have heard all three of these shows from sunny Florida.

I know many listeners are wondering about the fate of Shakedown Stream™. I am very confident that the SAVE MVY campaign is going to be successful and we will Stream furthur.

Save MVY from Jaws

After taking a major hit during the recession, Aritaur Communications, parent company of Martha’s Vineyard’s WMVY, accepted an offer to sell the station’s 3,000-watt FM signal to WBUR, which will use it as a “repeater” station to broadcast its NPR-affiliated programming to the Cape and islands. The station has launched an effort to raise $600,000 by the end of January to facilitate a transition from a commercial, airwave radio station to a nonprofit, Internet-based one.
