Today is Day 1 of The Days Between, August 1st through 9th. Jerry Garcia was born on August 1, 1942, and died on August 9, 1995. The days are named for the Grateful Dead’s song of the same name, “Days Between.” First performed in 1993, it’s one of the final songs to come from Jerry and his lyricist Robert Hunter. The song is full of nostalgia and longing — a fitting soundtrack to honor Jerry’s life.
