I could have written your first two sentences. I have barely managed a show a year for a while now. For many years I had woven DMB into every aspect of my life...followed every set in real time (when that became possible), posted on every website (and wrote for one too), really lived and breathed it all every day.
For whatever reason, I have felt drawn back the past few weeks; re-listening to shows, re-reading the (sometimes stupid) things I wrote, thinking about all the people I met, decisions I made (and didn't make) during those days. It almost feels like a different life.
One constant though, even being 'away' for a while, is how much I miss his sound. I am so damn grateful he left us so much beautiful music to enjoy.
