I was inspired to figure out a way I can play this tune by your
Greatest Stories blog, David. Now I am trying to convince a young
friend to include it in her jazzy restaurant piano / singing gigs. Rock
on!
  

    

The bridge of "Stella Blue" is "perilously close to cliche: 'cheap hotel,'
'crying like the wind,' dust it off one more time - it's sentimental, but
somehow it works. [Garcia is] always singing about himself, whether he wants
to be or not, but "dust off those rusty strings, gonna make 'em shine," then
he does a solo - that's as much bravado as you're ever gonna get out of him."

- Nick Paumgarten, in the Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast
