The Golden Road's Annual "Days Between" Salute to Jerry Garcia

On Sunday, August 8th, the Golden Road will be airing it's annual broadcast to salute the memory of Jerry Garcia and all the wonderful music he created during his time on this rock. The "Days Between" represent his birthday - August 1st, and the day of his passing - August 9th. Dead Heads and fans of his sound have kept a new, but nice tradition going by celebrating Jerry in their own way during this period each year.

During this broadcast of the Golden Road, you will be treated to a bunch of cherry picked sounds that will encompass just about every style that Jerry immersed himself in...folk, bluegrass, jazz, classic R & B, country, reggae, the blues and of course, the unique good ol' Grateful Dead style.

The show will air live on August 8th from 7 to 9 pm, will then be replayed on August 13th from 10 pm to 12 midnight and August 14th from 3 to 5 pm. And you can always catch the archived broadcast any time at http://www.kdrt.org/station/archives/153

There were days
and there were days
and there were days I know
when all we ever wanted
was to learn and love and grow

Once we grew into our shoes
we told them where to go
walked halfway around the world
on the promise of a glow

Stood upon a mountain top
walked barefoot through the snow
gave the best we had to give
how much we'll never know
we'll never know

There were days
and there were days
and there were days between
polished like a golden bowl
the finest ever seen

Hearts of Summer held in trust
still tender, young and green
left on shelves collecting dust
not knowing what they mean

Valentines of flesh and blood
as soft as velveteen
hoping love would not forsake
the days that lie between...lie between

"Days Between" by R. Hunter and J. Garcia
