Please come down to Slim's for an evening of merriment and music in support of Jefferson Airplane, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Dinosaurs drummer, Spencer Dryden, who recently lost everything in a fire and on top of it all, has medical issues to deal with. This is our chance to give back to someone who has given musical enjoyment to so many people throughout the years, and has now fallen on subdued times. Spencer's a salty old road dog and not one to complain... but we can insist on helping him. He and his family are very grateful to you all for your support. This evening features the Flying Other Brothers with special guests Bob Weir & Warren Haynes, David Nelson & Friends with special guest Peter Rowan, Nick Gravenites with guests David Freiberg, Greg Elmore, and Pete Sears, Wavy Gravy and Chet Helms, and a late night jam session including guests Kathy Peck & Peter Kaukonen. Many interesting auction items, including some donated by fellow Jefferson Airplane band members, will be on display at the show and offered for sale through Ebay

I hope that they get a healthy pile of cash for dryden, but the thing that caught my eye was the name Wavy Gravy...not sure what form of entertainment he'll provide...perhaps he'll direct traffic as he did at the original Woodstock.

but the thing that caught my eye was the name Wavy Gravy..

Wavy Gravy was a member of the Diggers and an organizer of sorts. I believe he was involved in starting a number of cooperatives, etc. Sounds like a great concert--Ive seen him a number of these performers, but never all on one stage
