so im at this show watching my favorite bands guitar player/singer and keyboardist/singer play an acoustic show yesterday on this beautiful peice o property with a brewery and an apple/peach/pear orchard, it was a free show filled only with family and friends.
i was mostly laying in the grass napping and smoking joints under an apple tree. but for the last couple of songs i went directly right up front. as i walk up im directly frotn and center with the guitar player and then took two steps to the left instantly so i could stand right in fornt of the speaker. as i do this isntantaneously theres another man a little shorter than me looks to be 60-80 he looks at me puts hisd hand up and i slap him a high five and we grab eachothers hands and shake em and embrace for a minute while he says" yesss, great music, great beer, beautiful day beautiful people" still in an embrace i say hey man what more could you ask for! and he says yeah yeah all excited then starts dancing around.
so i look back over at the band and the keyboardist looks diretly at me in the eyes(only 10-15 feet away) grabs the mic, in the middle of a jam mind you, and still looking in my eyes says robert hunter and nods at me. so i look back over at this ecstatic man dancing around with sunglasses on, look him over for a minute and say holy fuck, look back at the keyboardist and he again looks me right in the eyes and nods a couple times with a little smile at the end. so i chilled with them and danced around and had a good time and that was about as far as it went.
so on the way home i google his picture, and holy fucking shit it was him. he just had short sideburns and not his santa beard.
dumbfounded, never in my life has the thought come through my head that potentially i would meet robert hunter, still really hanst even hit me yet.

Why did the Dead Head cross the road? To dose the chicken. What happened when the Dead Head got across the road? The Dead Head and the chicken both dosed and hitchhiked to the next show. What happened when the Dead Head and the chicken got to the next show? The chicken stole the Dead Head's old lady, tie-dyes and has been on tour ever since. What is the chicken's new Dead Head name? Cosmic Cluck.
How many Dead Heads does it take to screw in a light bulb? None - Dead Heads don't screw in lightbulbs, they screw in dirty sleeping bags. Just kidding... none, Dead Heads use candles.
Good for a laugh! Listening to Sunshine Daydream at the moment - real sweet version of Jack Straw. 
Really tight that you got a dance in with Robert Hunter, Whitelights. Fantastic writer/musician!
