Celebrating my 23rd birthday in 1987 at Angels Camp with David Lindley, Santana, and The Grateful Dead

I spent the weekend of 22-23 August, 1987, at Calaveras County Fairgrounds in Angels Camp, California. I didn't see any "celebrated jumping frogs", but there was an air show both days, and a few musicians gathered on stage to play many hours of music: first, David Lindley and his band El-Rayo X; then Santana; then The Grateful Dead, with Carlos Santana sitting in with them on two songs each night ("Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and "In the Midnight Hour" on Saturday; "Iko Iko" and "All Along the Watchtower" on Sunday). It was a nice way to celebrate my birthday (23 on the Sunday) with my friends Sam Sandmire and Eric Williams. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 22 August 2024)
