    Due to certain issues I've found myself in and have been staying away from the scene for about a year now...I've seen a few local shows but I'm getting my s*** together and I will soon be able to do some outta town shows. Sending love, light and positive vibes to all my brother's and sisters.... it deleted my first review about this being my first Dick's Picks when I was like 14 and then saw my first show 2002 Phil Lesh and friends and from then on I was on the bus one love everybody
