Happy 70th (!!!) birthday to Phil Lesh!!! Lesh was/is the bass player for the Grateful Dead and it's him singing lead on the song above - the beautiful "Box of Rain", which is also his composition (with words by Robert Hunter). It was written as his father was in the last stages of his fatal illness, and is certainly one of the Dead's best loved songs.
We had some important stuff to do here this weekend, but they had a big party for him up in SF this weekend & it would have been fun to go! BTW - no idea what this video is about, but it was the only one that Warner Music hasn't disabled :(
Happy Birthday Phill!!!
