My Other Hobby: A Musical Tribute to Jerry Garcia for #Blaugust 2025

Well, it’s the third week of #Blaugust, and I have a vague notion that it is during his part of the month that we begin talking about other things we do besides blogging. I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog (most notably in last Blaugust’s What I Do To Stay Creative post) that I’m learning a bit of guitar.

Some folks reading this blog may also know that I’m a bit of a Grateful Dead fan. At this point, I’m decades into my fascination with their music, the details of which have been briefly documented in my Secrets of Fennario post. Since last Saturday (August 9th, 2025) marked 30 years since founder/guitarist Jerry Garcia passed away, I decided to do a little tribute, and play one of my favorite Dead tunes for everyone.

Here’s how it went. Enjoy!

Any Dead Heads on the blog? What should I cover next? Any Jerry Garcia inspirations or even memories related to this amazing music? Leave your thoughts and stories in the comments. I love talking about this!

Until next week . . .
