Park Ranger interview and a five minute history lesson on the Dead..

A few weeks ago I posted on this sub I got a dream seasonal gig as an interpretive Park Ranger at Yosemite National Park. One of my interview questions was “Describe a complex topic in five minutes or less..”

Without hesitation, I talked about the beatniks, the pranksters, Haight and the conglomerate of culture that created the Grateful Dead. The story continued with their journey from psychedelia, folk and their heavy tour era. I emphasized each unique blend of musical spices and ingredients that blended to make the soup of the Grateful Dead.

My ride on the bus has been about 50+ shows with Dead and Co, some Phil shows and a little over 10 Wolf Bros shows. Never thought the bus would take me to Yosemite.. goes to show you don’t ever know..
