I think I might start posting the dead.net blog posts under the topics
for the song in this conference--trying to encourage some
cross-pollination between the WELL and dead.net. Thoughts? I did it for
"Lost Sailor" and "Candyman," and could start working my way back
through the last 50 weeks' posts.
  

    
That is a GREAT idea, David!!
  

    
OK then. I will chip away at this...
  

    
Hello all,

It has been a while since I actively did much with this conference,
and I apologize. Life got busy. But I am now retired, and hopefully
will be able to do my job better. 

I logged on today specifically because I learned of the passing of
Steve Silberman, a great writer and an extremely articulate
Deadhead--really, any words I use to describe him are utterly
inadequate. He was a friend of mine. I will miss him being in the
world. 
  

    
Thanks for your kindness and thoughts, over these years <digaman>. 
  

    

For those who haven't yet looked in the News conference, there are many
tributes and remembrances of Steve in the two current Obits topics.
  

    
Thanks, <nanlev>!
  

    
I am looking into the disappearance of The Annotated Grateful Dead
Lyrics from the UC Santa Cruz servers. For now, they can only be
accessed using the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive
(https://web.archive.org/)
  

    
Here's a URL that will get you to the home page for the site, and
from there to the individual pages:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190218221428/http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl
/
  

    
Damn! I hope it is brought back!
  

    
Were they hosted as party of the archive or via some other
arranagement?
  

    
This was pre-archive, when I was a Research Assistant for Fred
Lieberman. I placed my bibliographic research materials at McHenry,
guest-lectured, and worked on the website.  
  

    
s/party/part/

have you had any contact since with whoever managed
artsites.ucsc.edu? it appears to be down or gone itself as a whole
right now.
  

    
They have migrated the arts server. I'm in touch. The previous
contact I had in their IT department seems to have retired--can't
blame him!
  

    
oh no!  David, that was a great body of work.
  

    
archive.org is currently coping with some sort of DDOS attack but if
you're game David, I'd be happy to work with you to migrate the
content somewhere new.
  

    
Christian, that is a wonderful offer. Let's see....I think it could
work to move the entire thing--really not that big in terms of
today's space and storage. Email me? david.g.dodd@gmail.com. Thanks!
  

    

I'd be happy to host it at gdhour.com if that is of interest.

Or maybe dead.net would be up for taking it on?
