Other than Thom, were any Zoners friends with Jerry?
Forums:
I always enjoy reading Thom's stories about hanging out with Jerry before and after shows - and there's even a thread on here where Thom was in his hotel room after a JGB show giving him setlist pointers. Surely he wouldn't lie about this.
Anyway, did anyone else here earn Jerry's friendship? Maybe smoke a bowl or a little Persian with him?

Jerry smoked the P alone most times, I'd venture to guess.

Meeting someone twice hardly
Meeting someone twice hardly makes them a friend, and I certainly never claimed that he was one.
But I did suggest that the Garcia Band play "Sweetheart Like You" that time in the hotel in Philadelphia in December of '83, and he said that he had actually been considering it. I suspect that he was just being polite, but given his extraordinary taste in selecting cover songs it might have been true.

Absolutely, I dream of the lead break. He would have crushed it.
"Close enough to call it personally acquainted in my book,Thom."
That's a close call (I'd say no), but "personally acquainted" doesn't equate to friendship.
"Jerry smiled at me and I felt alot better."
Those moments are closer to friendship than anything I ever got by seeing him a couple of times.
