September 11, 1943: Mickey Hart, one of the amazing drummers of the Grateful Dead, was born.

A pair of Mickey’s drumsticks occupy a special place in the Dead corner of my office. Check out the fall tour schedule for Mickey’s Global Drum Project.

In case you haven’t heard, the Dead are playing a benefit concert on October 13th. The city, venue and special guests will be announced soon.

Happy 65th, Mickey!
