I felt so lucky to spend part of Memorial Day at an extraordinary barbecue with my immediate family, my brother-in-law and my cousins. My cousins Jon and Jill put on a fabulous cookout in their new outdoor dining room—this was a serious grill master type of thing.

But what was even cooler was that my cousins Jon, Alan and Jason got me into a great band that I hadn’t been listening to: Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, or JRAD as they are also known.

JRAD is a group of neo-Deadheads who are reinterpreting the Grateful Dead’s music and breathing new life and energy into it. I’m way into it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy7QdOdgzN4&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=eedb9e3ddd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_05_29_08_58&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-eedb9e3ddd-145367789) .
