Hey guys ... it's me, the Freebird, working hard to bring you 
new and ever improved Garcia and related bands databases for 
your Tape Tracking pleasure.

What I need is your help. When you load these databases, I need 
you to let me know when you find errors, omissions, differences 
of opinoion, or have a great factlet to put in the comments. 
The more info I get from you, the better our databases become 
for everyone. 

I get it from you one way or another anyways. I compare every 
list I download to our databases. I search web sites, new 
groups, peoples tape collections, books, movies, interviews and 
personal recollections in order to find neat, correct, and 
undiscovered stuff to make what we got better than what anybody 
else out there has got. 

You will find more correct info in OUR datbases than you can in 
DeadBase or anywhere else. And with YOUR help, it's only going 
to get better.

In the near future, look for all the rest of the Jerry Garcia 
band collection to come out ready for Tape Tracker updating. In 
addition, there will be a special EARLY GARCIA datbase covering 
ALL the stuff Jerry did right back to a high school battle of 
the bands in 1958 !!!

What else might you expect, well ... there's a JIMI HENDRIX 
datbase I'm currently compiling (please send me your Hendrix 
tpae lists -- I need dates!!!).  And I'd like to start a Weir 
database too (big project -- anybody got a lot of info all 
ready compiled ??). And then Zeppelin perhpas.

If you have any info on any of the above, please e-mail me at:
