It began as a small flash mob in Portland's Monument Square in 2012, and has grown to include over 100 dancers that draw big crowds each year before Halloween.
We set up the PA on our One City Center patio overlooking the heart of the city. The sweet, magical music Jerry had given us for 30 years was filling the air under a bright, beautiful moon. I swear that I saw his smiling face in it.
On August 9, 1995, just before the WBLM Classic Lunch Hour, I went into the Blimp Studio to let Tommy C know that Jerry passed. He offered his condolences with an expression that you would give someone who just lost a family member. For Deadheads, we had.
All it takes is one quick look outside to know that Christmas time is upon us, but there's still one more thing that needs to happen in Maine before the Holiday season begins officially. Light up those trees, or lighthouses!
Now with the tree up and in place the workers can begin the daunting process of stringing up the over 5,000 lights and have it ready for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday the 23rd.
