Day 8 of The 9 Days of Jerry has begun (we do start the day at "stars-out") the night before, except of course the 1st day which we started at midnight -- but since we rest (had you noticed?) on Shabbos, this has to be day 8 of Jerry - no other way.
#8 - it means beyond. 7 days are a "this world" cycle - 6 days we work, 1 day we rest, and then it's day 1 again. #7 - this world. But number 8 - that's one beyond 7, that's one beyond this world - beyond this world.
Shlomo took us beyond ourselves; in our abilities to understand ourselves, to understand G-d, and Jerry with his music, took us beyond just hearing/listening to music to a place of experiencing music - a place beyond where we had ever been before. Was there anything like a Dead concert?

Har Sinai you say? Radio Free Nachlaot is not just celebrating Jerry's life, but celebrating LIFE!
Come Celebrate with us -- Music will set us free!!!!
Shavua Tov, let the festivities continue - Day 8 of the 9 Days of Jerry is on the way.
