9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper This is a tribute to Jerry Garcia. I was recently watching a video of him singing “Peggy O” in 1994. He gets very emotional during the song and it brought tears to my eyes. This show was about one year before he died. By 1994 The Grateful Dead had become a money-making machine. My generation was kind of the last generation Jerry sung to (those of us in our thirties now). / Jerry Garcia became a musician at a very crucial time in American history. He was part of the whole folk music movement that included Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and a host of other greats. These musicians were discovering the wealth of music that came from the past and they only wanted to share the songs with the world. / “Peggy O” is one of those old ballads that probably made Jerry fall in love with music. The oldest version being an old Scottish ballad. As Jerry sings it in 1994 I think he is feeling some regret for what was lost. Whatever he was feeling, when I watch this video I feel the beauty of the song. / This is Peggy O, a woman like a dove. She wouldn’t marry sweet William because he was only a soldier. William gets angry and dies in battle. I really love folk music because it is mythical in nature. / I hope you are still singing this song somewhere Jerry!!!!! link to Jerry singing Peggy O

apophysis 2.02 Love this Grateful Dead Song, though my favorite version of it is with Jerry and David Grisman on the mandolin. Couldn’t find a decent clip of them performing it together so this one is good too. :o) Lyrics: If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine / And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung / Would you hear my voice come through the music / Would you hold it near as it were your own? It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken / Perhaps they’re better left unsung / I don’t know, don’t really care / Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water / When there is no pebble tossed / Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand if your cup be empty / If your cup is full may it be again / Let it be known there is a fountain / That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway / Between the dawn and the dark of night / And if you go no one may follow / That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water / When there is no pebble tossed / Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow / But if you fall, you fall alone / If you should stand, then who’s to guide you / If I knew the way I would take you home
The one the only Jerry Garcia! / Original was done in acrylics on canvas by my husband, Tim Megivern.

This is a pencil drawing of the late, great Jerry Garcia. Besides being a music legend, this man was also an accomplished artist.
I found that his artwork, the illustrations are just amazing. Simple shaky line and dabs of color. They were turned into pattern for textile(like ties, bedding, etc.). I made the tree after finding a book about his dreawings at a thrift store in Marin County. I was anopen channel, much like the way his music used to run through me at shows. / thank You Jerry / I miss you!
