IT’S JERRY’S BIRTHDAY On Friday, August 1, KLCC and Dead Air present an evening to celebrate Jerry Garcia featuring two full sets by the Garcia Birthday Band. Jerry Garcia, famed lead guitarist, songwriter and singer for The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, among others, was born on August 1, 1941 in San Francisco, CA. Dead.net has this to say: “As lead guitarist in a rock environment, Jerry Garcia naturally got a lot of attention. But it was his warm, charismatic personality that earned him the affection of millions of Dead Heads. He picked up the guitar at the age of 15, played a little ‘50s rock and roll, then moved into the folk acoustic guitar era before becoming a bluegrass banjo player. Impressed by The Beatles and Stones, he and his friends formed a rock band called the Warlocks in late 1964 and debuted in 1965. As the band evolved from being blues-oriented to psychedelic/experi- mental to adding country and folk influences, his guitar stayed out front. His songwriting partnership with Robert Hunter led to many of the band’s most memorable songs, including “Dark Star”, “Uncle John’s Band” and the group’s only Top 10 hit, “Touch of Grey”. Over the years he was married three times and fathered four daughters. He died of a heart attack CHATHAM COUNTY LINE in 1995.” On Sunday, July 27, the Community Tightrope also marks a return to Sound Fans have kept the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive in their hearts, and have spread the spirit Center for the Performing Arts proudly wel- Pure Studios in Durham, NC, where the and the music to new generations.

6 JULY 2014 WOW HALL NOTES FIND US ONLINE: WWW.WOWHALL.ORG OREGON COUNTRY FAIR The 2014 Oregon Country Fair will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 11, 12 and 13. The WOW Hall will be closed for the duration. Operations will move to the WOW Hall/KLCC Booth, located at the back of the Main Stage meadow (just across the path from The Great Falafel). This “showpiece” booth was constructed in 2011 and was designed by Scott Felsher of Rainbow Valley Design & Construction. The WOW Hall operates a pack check service during public hours. You are welcome to bring your backpack, ice chest, costume, stroller or what have you to the booth and leave it there. For the nominal fee of $2, WOW Hall staff and volunteers will watch it for you and make sure you get it back. (This service is for inanimate objects only -- not children or dogs.) Temperatures can vary during the public hours, but you probably don’t want to carry everything for every eventuality around with you. Here’s a tip: wear your bathing suit under your street clothes and then when it gets hot, leave the duds with the dudes at the booth and stroll the Fair in cool comfort! You can access your belongings throughout the day. With the Fair Family itself camped at times great walking distances from Main Stage, it might be worth a couple dollars (to a good cause) not to have to travel back to the campsite several times a day.
