Secondly, or thirdly, whatever, did you know that Jerry Garcia and Frank Sinatra once met? According to Steve Parrish’s book “Home Before Daylight”, he discusses this meeting of the ages. Apparently it was very late one night at a heliport in New York City, late 1988. Sinatra was alone at the terminal and on his way to Atlantic City and Jerry was on a Garcia Band tour. While obviously not a Dead Head, Frank was aware of Jerry and his contributions to popular music and Jerry of course had a deep appreciation and respect for Sinatra’s voice. They exchanged pleasantries and discussed music theory. When walking away, Jerry said, “That voice…. Just AMAZING.”
The Beatles — This Boy (1964)
