What would you say is the most significant thing Jerry has given the world? I feel that Garcias ability to interpret the words of Robert Hunter was a wonderful extension of the great songwriters and lyricists of the older days like Johnny Mercer/Henry Mancini. In addition, Garcias voice, though never what one would call sonically mellifluous always seemed to convey more emotion than that of any other properly trained vocalist. Garcia understood the ultimate wonderful connection that makes magic when music is combined with words and then he carried that connection to the listener and conveyed the intent of the song in a memorable package. This is why the Dead were the most archived band of all time and why songs like Ripple and Uncle Johns Band will stick around for generations to come. I wish more modern day musicians would make this connection. ~ Dave Schools Widespread Panic
