"...which sounds a lot like you, who never made any of the music we're exchanging."
Actually, as far as I'm concerned, David _has_ made some of it. For one thing, if it weren't for his coaxing the individual members of the band to get up and play together after Jerry died, I'm not sure that "The Dead," would exist as it now does (or how long it would otherwise have taken them to reunite). Before there was Phil Lesh and Friends, there was "David Gans and Friends," featuring special guest Phil Lesh. That was where Phil was first teased into singing "St. Stephen."
