I was driving a taxi cab for a while there (its an old Master Thespian Requirement), and I was telling this hip guy about how I used to know Bill and Phill of the Dead, and I turned around, and it was Phill Lesh, whom I have met many times (this was around 1990 or so, in Las Vegas, dropped him off at the Las Vegas Hilton) Used to chat with him (1970's in Kentfield) regarding the Deads Wall Of Sound, he was teaching me about speakers being In Phase (so you can hear everything, else, people say "it was loud, but I couldn't hear anything" which means out of phase speakers). And I am not positive, but I do think it was Phill that I met and jammed with at the Hollywood Teen Fair back around 1966? at the Paladeum in Hollywood, we jammed at the Accoustic Amp booth, and were playing around with these knobs on the amps that provide a single tone, so we got all the amps going around the same frequency, put em on stand by, turned up the volume, then turned em all on at the same time, and everyone came running to the booth, then we jammed. And, I think it was Cream in the big tent 50 feet away (they charged to get in), before they were famous, I think it was them. I was around 13 years old, and a good musician (classical guitar lessons at age 7). And one time Phill gave me a ride from Marin to Little River to see my grandparents, whom he met, and my grandfather being a top electrical engineer, they had a good chat. Phill knows his electronics. On the way, we were taling about validity of vegetarian karma, me being a vegetarian at the time, and he asked, if you ate meat and no one knew you did it, would it really affect your karma? or is it just a social thing? I insisted it was full out karma, and around that time a deer jumped in front of the car, Phill slammed on the brakes, and we came so close, but the deer was OK, but would not move, finally Phill agreed with me and the deer took off. It sort of tells you something. And having grown up in the redwoods in Mendocino, I was often around deer and birds, and they are often psychic, and I used to take my grandparents dogs Meeshka and Zhuchock (black bettle) into the woods for a walk, trancedence in the redwoods, the dogs loved it, then they would start digging holes and sniffing.

I met Phil Lesh a number of times
