"Don't you know who that is? he asked me.

"Nope."

"That's the Grateful Dead, man!"

I had no idea who they were. grin They couldn't find everything they needed for their show that night, so my friend Cliff and I rode around Philly in the back of their rental truck showing them where all the music stores were. They were very nice guys.

What a cool story! I never got into their music, but they always came across as kind souls.
