But that's not all! I've been fortunate enough to receive 10 copies of the wonderful book by David Dodd: The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics.
Not only does this 500+ page book contain the lyrics of all of the original GD compositions (and many of the covers), but it also contains a huge wealth of background information on the sources and meaning of the characters and references in the songs. Its a hugely fun read, and all you have to do to have a chance to win your copy is to send me an email at: j.henrikson@gmail.com
I'll pick the winners at random next week!
More information on The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics can be found here.
As always thanks for your support!!
Cool set! Jerry's singing wasn't particularly good, per sé, but he seemed to be trying hard, so he gets an "A" for effort and enthusiasm. Gentlemen Start Your Engines was a highlight for me, and Masterpiece and Bird Song finished out the set in strong fashion. Looking forward to the second set...
