R.I.P. – Vince Welnick
It pains me to follow my last post with this news but, Grateful Dead keyboard player Vince Welnick has died. The circumstances are not confirmed but it’s a sad day. Vince played keys at every Grateful Dead show that attended. There were plenty who didn’t get doen with what he was doing and I’ve downed him some myself but, as far as I’m concerned, Vince was and forever shall be one of The Grateful Dead. That makes him family.
He’ll be missed.
Much love to his wife, Lori and to all who loved Vince.

Let me add the following link with a caveat. Some people don’t like to hear bad things about people. This link does not put some people in the best light but I happen to believe what the post has to say. It is sad that when the Other remaining Grateful Dead members billed shows as “all of the surviving Grateful Dead members” they had the balls not to invite Vince. Jerry said he was a full member and thats enough for me.
not a big vince fan myself.<br/>i guess Im not a survivng memebers fan either. and you are correct. family is family.
