		Vince: If it's considered by most of the band members as one of the finest songs there is (Vince smiles big!) Yeah, It doesn't really matter who wrote it, but it just coincidentally includes a lot of Garcia/Hunter tunes because they are some of the finest songs in the world.

		Welnick took the musical equivalent of the Big Spin in 1990, after the over- dose death of Grateful Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland.
		Welnick was so hard pressed he didn't even have a keyboard of his own when he drove down to Marin a day before his audition for the Dead opening.
		Welnick was reminded of the band's alleged keyboard curse, which stems from the fact that three of the Dead's keyboard players have died before their time: Ron "Pig-pen" McKernan of lover disease, Keith Godchaux in San Geronimo Valley car crash and Mydland from an overdose of drugs.

		The debut disc from Vince Welnick's Missing Man Formation is a posthumous look back at the original group, which included drummer Prairie Prince as well as Zero's Steve Kimock and Bobby Vega.
		Prior to this release, the band had performed far too few dates, mostly along the west coast, and the subsequent personnel changes most likely were made to give Welnick more leeway in taking the band out on the road.
		Credit is certainly due to Welnick for penning some great songs, including Golden Days and True Blue, which lovingly look back on his days as keyboardist for the Grateful Dead and his healing process after the passing of Jerry Garcia.
