And he was ALLWAYS on the cutting edge of new music .. If he knew that was i playin country music backin female singers in the honky tonks he probably slap me silly.!!.Altho we did like the the DEAD”S country music that music isnt challenging enough..WE like to jam + improvise.If you have a musical drummer like Charlie you can take the music ANYWHERE..!Im thinkin of the song”you were allways on my mind”..Willie Nelson..i didnt know where Charlie was but i thought about him OFTEN..Paul

He was a fine musician way back then.. Wish i hadnt lost touch with him.Rest in peace my old friend.! Say hello to Jerry Garcia for me..

He was turning people on to amazing obscurantist jazz and world music all the time. A heart big enough to hold the world. Goodbye, friend.

His death is really painful to some of my closest friends, esp my friends in the Thinking Fellers, who toured w/ him and loved him a lot, and Scott, of Exiled Records in Portland.

I don’t know if Kaomo’s version is the original one, it doesn’t matter cause ‘The shining path’ is a milion times better.
A classic. I played it hundreds of times.
