RFN's 7th Annual 9 Days of Jerry Coming in August (Right After Tisha b'Av)!

#‎9DOJ‬ 
"We're not the best at what we do, we're the only ones who do it."

 No other internet radio station plays 9 solid days of all Jerry and Jerry-related programming every year for 7 years, adjusting programming start dates to align with the halachic imperatives of the Jewish calendar! 

Radio Free Nachlaot's 7th annual 9 DAYS OF JERRY begins Sunday night, August 14th, after 11pm Jerusalem time and continues unabated and unabashedly through the end of Tuesday August 23rd, breaking only for "Shabbos Jerry" (this year Parshat Va'etchanan).

Because 5776/2016 is the 19th year of the 19 year Metonic Cycle, silly. :)
 
We will be off the air from Rosh Chodesh Av (August 5th) through the end of Tisha b'Av - then starting up again full-throttle with the 7th Annual 9DOJ! 

Gevaldt!

The 9 DAYS OF JERRY Continue - With Love from "Jerry Day" in San Francisco!

This is the first year that Lorelai and Steve haven't been together for the 9 Days of Jerry.  But as hashkacha (Divine Providence) would have it,  Lorelai is visiting her family in the Bay Area this summer, and was able to go to the 11th Annual Jerry Day Celebration at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in San Francisco.

What a wonderful day, surrounded by so much color and so much love - and what a trip it was to tell people about RFN and how astonished, delighted and positive people were to discover that there is the world's most hard-core Dead fan base in the Holy Land!

Lorelai interviewed Jerilyn Lee Brandelius, author of the soon to be re-released "Grateful Dead Family Album," (and former wife of Mickey Hart). Also got to meet MOUNTAIN GIRL (what an honor!) and hope to be interviewing her this week as well.

Stu Allen and the Mars Hotel were AMAZING, and of course Melvin Seals and the JGB were the sweetest. But that's not all- immediately after the show, Lorelai was whisked away by her (too modest to be named) magic fairy godmother to Shoreline Amphitheater, to see BOB DYLAN!!! Who opened for Bob but My Morning Jacket (at least half of their set was Grateful Dead cover tunes) and Wilco - joined on stage by BOB WEIR - they did "Ripple" into "St. Stephen" into "When I Paint My Masterpiece." Lorelai for sure thought she was already in heaven.

Bob Dylan blew away the house - it was a gevaldik show - so wonderful to be able to be a part of this love party!

Lorelai reports:

I must report that Bob looked and sounded GREAT. I was surprised but not surprised - after all, it's his most Gemini trait (constant change).

I was sitting next to a metal head-banger who LOVES Dylan and said: "This is my 6th Dylan show and I've figured out he does it on purpose just to f*ck with us," (meaning he sometimes does a less than perfect show just to keep us guessing).

The Set List:

Things Have Changed

Love Sick

Highwater

? (have no idea) probably from Bob's new album "Tempest"

Simple Twist of Fate

Ducaine Whistle

She Belongs To Me

? (really have no idea) also probably from "Tempest"

Desolation Row

Blind Willie McTell

Simple Twist of Fate

Summer Days

All Along The Watchtower

Ballad of a Thin Man

Celebrating the 9 Days between Jerry's birthday and his yartzeit, RFN's 9 Days of Jerry August 1st - 9th, 2013 will be broadcasting our All Jerry and Jerry-Related Programming 24/6 (except Shabbos Jerry, of course).

As in years past, we'll be offering GUEST DJ opportunities as well as the option to sponsor your favorite show by making a DEADICATION - all you have to do is write to us at: radiofreenachlaot@gmail.com and tell us what show you'd like to DEADICATE to whom, and we'll hook you up!

We know because of the previous three years that The 9 Days of Jerry is the annual highlight of our programming (after all, our format is "Where Shlomo Meets Jerry"), and we want to hear from you!
