Hartbeats update, again

I did another major-ish update to the Mickey Hart & the Hartbeats mega-post (coincidentally timed for their anniversary), mostly concerning two hidden-in-plain-sight sources -- a Rolling Stone article from 1969 and Dick Latvala's recollection of a mysterious setlist for 10/30 -- plus other little doodads.

Will that post ever be complete?  Not likely.  We're just thrown together by fate, so we're playing Fate Music here, folks.

Stay tuned, though, for a reconsideration of the Oct 74 Winterland shows, which I have been revisiting and reevaluating.  One of these days... #gratefuldeadstandardtime

update re 2/19/69

Heads up: I was reading an article about the remnants of a record collection from the 60's commune at Rancho Olompali, which led me roundabout back to Light Into Ashes' post about the 2/19/69 Celestial Synapses show (and some very helpful recent comments), and I was nerdily inspired to updated my own post a bit.  Pictures! Local history!  Hippie entrepreneurs and lurid drug stories!
