WOW !! 1978 I WAS IN CAIRO, EGYPT VISITING MY PARENTS WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT JERRY GARCIA AND THE GRATEFUL DEAD AND THE LIKES OF RAVI SHANKAR WERE HAVING A NON ADVERTISED CONCERT AT THE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA DURING AN ECLIPSE OF THE MOON...NATURALLY WE ATTENDED THE CONCERT AT THE FEET OF THE SPHINX ...WITH THE PYRAMIDS LIT UP IN THE BACK GROUND IN A FOG OF GOOD HASHISH . THE CONCERT WENT FROM 9-3 AM WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD .. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO MEET THE BAND AT THE HILTON HOTEL PRIOR AND AFTER THE CONCERT >>>>> ........JUST RECENTLY !!! I SHIPPED A VINTAGE PORSCHE TO LAKE TAHOE,CALIFORNIA FOR JERRY GARCIAS WIFE AND HIS MANAGER JOHN NAPA ....AND GOT TO SPEND A GREAT WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH JOHN TALKING ABOUT THE OLD DAYS OF ROCK AND ROLL AND MY EGYPTIAN ENCOUNTER WITH THE DEAD !!! ...HE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT RECEIVING MY STORIES AND PICTURES . IT ALL WILL NOW BE INCLUDED IN THE GRATEFUL DEAD CATALOG AND AUCTION FORMAT BEING PUBLISHED NEXT MONTH ...AND I WILL BE DOING THE STORY INTERVIEW WITH JOHN ....WHAT A SMALL WORLD... NO DOUBT WHAT A COINCIDENCE.... I WILL POST SOME OTHER REALLY COOL STUFF JOHN NAPA SENT ME ... I HOPE ANY GRATEFUL DEAD FANS WILL APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE SAVED IN TIME ....OH BY THE WAY WE COULD NO RESIST CLIMBING THE PYRAMID BEFORE SUNRISE WITH A 9 IRON GOLF CLUB AND A CASE OF BALLS AND A BOWL OF HASH AND CRACKING A FEW BALLS OFF THE TOP ....450 FT DRIVE IF YOU JUST PUTTED ....THERE IS PROBABLY STILL A FEW EGYPTIANS WONDERING WHERE THAT BALL CAME FROM THAT HIT HIM IN THE HEAD ......HAHAHA STAY TUNED .................................................
