An Elegy for Jerry

by Robert Hunter

Jerry, my friend,

you've done it again,

even in your silence

the familiar pressure

comes to bear, demanding

I pull words from the air

with only this morning

and part of the afternoon

to compose an ode worthy

of one so particular

about every turn of phrase,

demanding it hit home

in a thousand ways

before making it his own,

and this I can't do alone.

Now that the singer is gone,

where shall I go for the song?

Without your melody and taste

to lend an attitude of grace

a lyric is an orphan thing,

a hive with neither honey's taste

nor power to truly sting.

What choice have I but to dare and

call your muse who thought to rest

out of the thin blue air

that out of the field of shared time,

a line or two might chance to shine --

As ever when we called,

in hope if not in words,

the muse descends.

How should she desert us now?

Scars of battle on her brow,

bedraggled feathers on her wings,

and yet she sings, she sings!

May she bear thee to thy rest,

the ancient bower of flowers

beyond the solitude of days,

the tyranny of hours--

the wreath of shining laurel lie

upon your shaggy head

bestowing power to play the lyre

to legions of the dead

If some part of that music

is heard in deepest dream,

or on some breeze of Summer

a snatch of golden theme,

we'll know you live inside us

with love that never parts

our good old Jack O'Diamonds

become the King of Hearts.

I feel your silent laughter

at sentiments so bold

that dare to step across the line

to tell what must be told,

so I'll just say I love you,

which I never said before

and let it go at that old friend

the rest you may ignore.

I stumbled on this book in 1975.

Nine years prior, Alton Kelley literally lifted (pocket knife) the lithograph from a copy in the SF Public Library, rare book collection. Kelley and Stanley (Mouse) Miller used it in the famous Avalon Ballroom concert poster.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/grateful-dead-original-art-logo-1316160/amp/

Lots of great quatrains about life and death, and many great illustrations.

Great condition. Published nearly 90 years ago.

Make an offer.

Happy 76th Birthday Mark Randall “Flo” Volman 🎤🎸

(April 19, 1947)

Mark is a founding member, vocalist, and manager of The Turtles. The Turtles have sold over 60 million records world-wide and have had ten top-10 hits.

In May 1970, Mark and his longtime musical partner Howard Kaylan joined up with Frank & the Mothers of Invention. Mark is credited on 22 albums and the films 200 Motels, Video From Hell and The True Story of 200 Motels. He was with Frank until December 1971 when Frank was attacked ending the tour and lineup at the time. Mark returned twice as a guest in November 1976 and September 1977.

In 1974 Mark and Howard provided the music and voices for the adult animated film Down and Dirty Duck.

Mark has also sung on hit records with artists John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, T.Rex, Todd Rundgren, Blondie, The Ramones, Duran Duran, The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and many more. He has written songs for children’s television shows, such as the Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake and received a Grammy nomination for these works.

Mark has survived in the music business as an on-air radio personality, in radio syndication, record producer and writer for national music magazines and network television and as an educator.

In 2015, Kaylan and Volman celebrated their 50th year, touring and performing more than 60 concerts, billed as "The Turtles ...Featuring Flo & Eddie" with their Happy Together Tour.

Happy Birthday Professor 🎶🎤🎸
