Check out some of our pics and music with Martin.This was a write up on the BAJA BASH festival 04 by a fan that we hope to meet some day. ENJOY."It is with a tear in my eye that Im about to tell you about the last set I saw at the Bash, and I literally had to be peeled off the main stage premises, because The Maykers are unreal. I can shut my eyes and still hear the opening tune "Sugaree." I know Jerrys voice and Jerrys guitar when I hear it, and damn, I could hear it plain as day. There are about as many Dead cover bands or Jerry cover bands out there as there are pebbles on the beach, but I have NEVER heard a band encompass his sound so perfectly as I did on the main stage on Jerrys birthday. Dark Star is hands down the best Dead cover band, but The Maykers were onto something that day, as if Jerrys spirit was playing through them. Martin Fierro was there playing away, and I know that had something to do with it, as he is a legend in his own right. I had seen him come out earlier in the weekend with Yonder, but to see him up there playing songs I have heard him on, but of course never seen, I was beside myself. And then it happened: "They Love Each Other," one of the most beautiful songs ever sung. You know those songs that make you swell up with tears and look desperately for that special someone to grab onto? So it was the case with me while this song was playing. I couldn’t find her because she was still getting food, and yet I still beamed and danced along because I knew that by looking at my face "you could see that its true." This song was without a doubt the most spiritual and emotional highlight of my festival. I was eternally grateful for getting it when I did. Writing these words now, I can feel my eyes filling up, it was that powerful for me, and I will never forget it." A faithful and Grateful fan
