I love the story of how Bob Weir met Jerry.
Legend has it, it was New Years Eve and Weir was with a buddy looking for a bar that would let them in underage when they stumbled across Jerry Garcia. Garcia forgot it was New Years Eve and had been waiting for a student to come by and was playing his banjo on his porch to pass the time. Weir was so mesmerized by him that he stopped looking for a bar and hung out with Jerry. The rest is history
