Remembering Phil Lesh


With a blend of sadness for loss and joy for the music and memories that we will always cherish, we pay tribute to Phil Lesh. A number of friends sent in their own remembrances and musings on the man and what he meant to them. I have included them along with a substantial dose of music for an epic episode, befitting this beast of a bass player and singular musician. 

I'd like to thank the following for their contributions (in order of appearance):

Ike Turner (Wowza In Kalamazoo)
Stefan Beck (Golden Brown, Prairiewolf)
Andrew Hitz (AndrewHitz.com)
Jake Lyons (NYCTaper)
Jeffrey Alexander (Heavy Lidders)
Josh Moss (The Modern Folk)
