Happy Birthday Bob Weir!
Bob Weir, best known for being a founding member of the Grateful Dead, celebrates his 62nd birthday today.
Weir, a singer, songwriter and musician, is, along with the Grateful Dead arguably one of the most recorded musicians on the planet!
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Bobby on numerous occasions and each and every time he was most cordial. Whether it was backstage or poolside, whenever I saw him, Bobby always took the time with whoever came by, to talk, share a joke or sign an autograph.
If you’ve never seen Bob Weir in concert, tune in to this video and you’ll see why he’s not only a wonderful rhythm guitarist, but also a beautiful songwriter. Bobby was always credited with the “Rock n Roll” portion of Grateful Dead concerts. But songs like “Cassidy”, “Weather Report Suite” and “Looks Like Rain” showed his versatility in being able to pen some truly moving music in ballad form.
Currently Bob Weir is playing and touring with his solo band Ratdog.
By the way, if you click on the picture of Bobby, my daughter Laura and me, you can see a fun article CNN wrote...featuring yours truly!
I'm famous! But no autographs please!
