A YouTube page loaded with Blossom Dearie<\/strong> videos had one video of the Grateful Dead<\/strong> playing some song I like from a 1978 concert. That video’s page was loaded with Dead performances from the late ’70s. It was good to watch a few of their performances from a period before they get really<\/em> bloated and bad, as I feel they are whenever I watch clips from the ’80s.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I started clicking on videos of well-known Dead song titles that I wasn’t sure I actually could match a tune with. For instance, I am as adept as anyone around here at dropping a sarcastic “Scarlet Begonias” reference, but truth be told I never really know what tune goes with that song title. I just listened to it about 15 minutes ago, and I’ve already forgotten the tune, although it’s one I will recognize next time I hear it.<\/p>\n

Then I saw a clip promising a song called “Franklin’s Tower.” I knew this was another famous Dead song title, but I had NO idea how the tune went with that song title…or did I?<\/p>\n
