Earlier today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. And I smiled.

Hi, I'm Bill The Drummer and if I told you all that went down, it would burn off both your ears. #GratefulDead #BillyandtheKids
- Phil Lesh was my brother. Not by blood but still by family. I’ve heard so many of you tell me that the Grateful Dead changed your life. Yeah, well… Phil Lesh changed mine. Thank you Phil. I’ll miss you, darn it.
- Dear @flea333: You have an open invite to come jam with the drummer from the Grateful Dead. My band @billkandthekids treats improvisation like a spiritual practice, while still honoring the song.always jam live. if you just wanna see a song played like on a record, just listen to the record. where is the risk and hope for something higher without improvisation???
- Taylor Hawkins was one of those drummers that brought more than just skill to the instrument - he brought heart. You could see joy radiate from him and that, in turn, allowed others to radiate joy back. I felt connected to him in that way. RIP brother.
- News to me…
- This was the first time in my entire career that I ever had to call in sick, but sometimes you just have to give yourself a time out. Docs have cleared me to continue doing what I love the most - playing music for all of you. See you all in Phoenix! With love, Billy
- Yes, we all know Jerry would’ve been 80 today. It’s on my mind as well. I miss him. Not just today but every time I get behind the drums, when the muscle memory kicks in of getting on board that far-out ship with Captain Trips.
- Grateful Dead music is medicine and so is our collective energy. That’s what I was missing. Last night healed me. Thanks for having me back. #billthedrummer #deadandcompany #deadandcotour22
00:00 - That was a really fun first set & I feel great. I did pull a muscle the other night in Boulder & while I’m fine, I’m going to sit out some of this next set. Don’t let the rumor mill make fools of you; I’m not giving up this drum chair anytime soon. NFA, #billthedrummer
- Nobody ever said it would be a walk in the park. But I’m feeling much better and can’t wait to get back at it. - #billthedrummer
- Just two guys talking shop in the park the other day. #notorch #BilltheDrummer #Fishman 📷: @benjy_eisen
- Off to rehearse music that has never been played before even if they’re all songs we all know by heart. Hope you like jamming too.
- Dear Jeff: This part of your journey ends where it began: as diamond dust. The chapter is over but your amp stays warm because your music will reverberate forever. Much love, brother, Billy #JeffBeck
