I am tired of fitting into other bands. So i am trying to form my own. More than just grateful dead. i want to add classic and not so classic tunes to the repertoire. If you are in the areas of westchester and ct or dont care about a drive. i am looking for bandmates. guitars and drums are main priority. Will be holding jams to get the right fit after new years for now i have a harp player, keyboards on demand a couple of replies from craiglist for guitars. i dont want clones. they write it. we can interpret it if we want. send email if interested Thanks |

Flax: Is the guitarist playing a modified Ibanez Musician, MC500 by any chance? And remember what Dylan said: "Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters" Bill, tgo |

Nice little video! The guitar player does have a Jerry style. Bill; the solo at 1:09, what is that effect? I'm thinking it's a delay or an echo. The drummer has a Phish connection; cool! |

I just noticed the band name too. I love it. I assume it's inspired by the poster art on the Closing of Winterland DVD? That art was always one of my fave concert posters. |

It's also from the tune "So Many Roads" by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. From the land of the midnight sun where ice blue roses grow 'long those roads of gold and silver snow Howlin' wide or moanin low So many roads I know So many roads to ease my soul |
