@icehorse, you ever hear this one at a show?
it would give me the chills.
...Sometimes I feel like a lost sailor. Hopefully not too lost.

Great songs you're mentioning - some I haven't thought about for a long time - thanks!
I can't recall for sure, but I think I heard this song live. Have you seen this? Lots of musicians appreciating the dead's storytelling:
I love the storytelling, and it seemed to me that Garcia was often like grandpa on the porch, telling stories to the grandkids
But I'm also attracted to individual lines:
- counting stars by candle light
- steal your face right off your head
- nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile
- please don't dominate the rap jack, if you've got nothing new to say
- there comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away
- the sky was yellow and the sun was blue
- you can't go back and you can't stand still, if the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
- don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around
- red and white, blue suede shoes, i'm uncle sam, how do you do?
