Hey, Mrs. Donna Jean. Happy birthday.
“Well, thank you, sugar. Sweet of you to remember me.”
What did you get for your birthday?
“A quiet and peaceful summer.”
I forgot to shop, but I will tell you that my favorite Grateful Dead is the Grateful Dead with you in it.
“Thank you, darlin’.”
…
“Y’still owe me a gift, tho.”
Yes, ma’am.
I’ve never actually heard Donna Jean speak and I’d like to.
there’s an interview with her on the GD hour page on dead.net posted as we speak
Do you think you could give me a link? (Is it still available?) I’m terrible at finding stuff like that.
Maggs, here’s the link

Thanks August!
Interview starts at 17:10
“I will tell you that my favorite Grateful Dead is the Grateful Dead with you in it.”
Awww . . . nicest thing you’ve said all day.
I agree with this. And primal screams on PITB not withstanding, some of the sweetest recordings are with Donna harmonizing with the boys.

Why thank you! She sounds just like I imagined her to. Lovely, womanly voice.
She’s also in a documentary called “Muscle Shoals” about the famous recording studio. Well worth watching on netflix.
Okay! I’ll check that out! Thank y’all š
There’s a better radio interview out there from this tour but I couldn’t find it.
