Anxiously awaiting news about Summer tours and Festivals…
…and here is a big surprise! While Furthur was a headliner at the All Good Music Festival for the last two years, they will not be there in 2012. Bob Weir will be performing with Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis (does this imply a tour for Bruce and Bob?) and Phil Lesh and Friends will also be at this years festival (and, does this imply a tour for Phil and Friends?). Phil’s Friends line-up has not been announced, but expect something stellar!
And… the Mickey Hart band will also be at All Good Music Festival 2012.
Plus, The Allman Brothers Band, Railroad Earth, and many more. Not all artists are even announced yet, and the festival lineup is incredible. Looks like it really is ALL GOOD!
The Festival will be held July 19-22 at Legend Valley Concert Venue & Campground – the location formerly known as Buckeye Lake Music Center.

Jon Mcintire, former manager of the Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage, and a Rex Foundation board member, passed away on Feb. 16th 2012.
He had been suffering with throat cancer, according to a close friend. No further details are available, but we do have this beautiful poem, by Robert Hunter.
For Jon McIntire, a Word or Two
What word will do
to gesture toward
the dark gathering
of mutual mystery,
said of the unseen
by saying nothing?
Beyond utterance,
speechlessness
hoping to be heard
by a keener ear,
before any word
was ever spoken,
dies broken like night
by a single shaft of sun.
Silence past Summer,
unmurmuring Spring,
Autumn unmentioned,
Winter, mute, or that
other season: Humanity
wherein we dwell,
listening, listening,
sometimes ceasing
to mere appearance.
Not far to go,
a simple step
into forever. . .
Off then, goodnight,
into sheer light
beyond any season
known to the moon.
