Planning for Mondays show, this Saturday, August 1st is a must mention for me for Magical Monday Musical Matinee.
Today is the birthday of both the Dead's Jerry Garcia and Adam Duritz of Counting Crows.

In honor of both of their birthdays, we are going to play Friend of the Devil- the Counting Crows cover.
Garcia cowrote the music. The song debuted on the Grateful Dead 1970 studio album American Beauty. Lyrics are by Robert Hunter.
Counting Crows covers the song live and included it in a 2003 compilation album.
Personal for me- I was in Greece wearing a Grateful Dead tshirt when I heard of Garcias passing on August 9, 1995.
And Crows made me really like the song.
There are so many covers of the song.
Which is your favorite?
Or are you a friend only to the Dead?
