UPDATE: 8PM Hit Time! We are going to raise some dough to help out old friend Don Deane this night folks! Just in from Smiley's Owners/Management: "Smiley's would match whatever is raised from ticket sales and contribute that, plus your half of the ticket funds, to Don. I think a sliding scale price of $10-20+"
Jon: "Don is a beautiful person who has done so much for Bolinas and West Marin, I'm glad that we'll have an opportunity to help Don out in this way in his time of need. C'mon out and join us on 21st Sept. at good old Smiley's - completely-newly renovated, merci beaucoup!!"

Jerome John Garcia (August 1, 1942 – August 9, 1995) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known for his work as the lead guitarist and as a vocalist with the band the Grateful Dead, which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s.[2][3]Although he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or "spokesman" of the group.[2][3][4][5]
One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders–Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).[2] He also released several solo albums, and contributed to a number of albums by other artists over the years as a session musician. He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing and was ranked 13th in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" cover story.[6]
Garcia was influenced by music at an early age,[16] taking piano lessons for much of his childhood.[17] His father was a retired professional musician and his mother enjoyed playing the piano.[8] His father's extended family—who had emigrated from Spain in 1919—would often sing during reunions..
