The Lazy River Road    

     In service since 1991. It was first started as a (don't have to
     call the hotline; remember what the hotline was like in `91)
     diseminating service, but soon grew into a communication tool
     for diseminating Grateful Dead Tour Information. From 91 -
     `94 these ends were met by newsletters and old MA Bell, and a
     bulletin board at the local head shop.

   


      LRR BBS
     The Newsletter's became a sucess  so there was a need to
     streamline the way the info was getting out. Remember this is
     before the Internet push, in fact the Web was just being
     invented in 1994. Yes there was life before the WWW. Not
     very graphical and DOS based. If you had a modem and a
     computer you could dial in and get the latest. Funny note: The
     lowest baud allowed on LRR BBS is 300, today's standard is
     56,0000. With this new medium it was easier to present more
     than just Grateful Dead stuff. So with the advent of the first
     online version of The Lazy River Road with the LRR BBS, came
     the expansion into covering other bands.

      LRR BBS Officially went online February 9th, 1994.  

     LRR BBS has a very strong emphasis on communication between
     people through local Message Boards and international News
     Groups, such as Rime and Fido Net Newsgroups via a front
     door connection, as well as carrying many of the Internet's
     Usenet Newgroups. Since this is a BBS, most user's dial in
     directly, or now, can telnet in from the Internet.


     Hello World Wide Web

       In March of 1995 the LRR came to the Internet.
     In June of  1997 The Lazy River Road got a major face lift.
     In fact the music links page is the only original file left.
     It's main structure went to frames. It was transformed into
     a general information site with a reference and a sports
     section, while still holding on to the intial cause with a
     beefed up Music site and other features for your
     everyday hippy
     I would like to acknowledge all the people that made this possible.
