o The Dead do the entire soundtrack for the shows.Mickey Hart is responsible for the majority of the music according to the credits.It does sound almost"normal" most of the time, but I have heard some really spacy sound here and there and once I actually heard a definite Jerry-space-twang!!!!Anyway I think it's quite fitting that the Dead get into a project of this sort.Another treat for us dead-heads- if you really look very,very,carefully at the T.Z. logo as it is forming(its shown like before commercials sometimes) YOU WILL SEE A SKULL!!!! No fooling, we not only get to hear some interesting sounds but we see a familiar Grateful Dead image! Great how they stuck that in there. Media Revolution or What??????!!!! Adrienne at the Cube

I don't know how much of the episode music they're doing however I do know that on one recent episode there was the unmistakeble sound of Jerry playing banjo, the excuse being that it was supposed to be coming out of someone's radio. What's not clear is whether these things are produced for the show, or whether musical director Mr. Saunders is just pulling them off of old tapes. steve
