The biggest fan of Grateful Dead guitarist and co-founder Bobby Weir, who died Saturday at the age of 78, was perhaps his bandmate Jerry Garcia. "He's an extraordinarily original player in a world of people who sound like each other," Garcia told Blair Jackson and David Gans in 1981. Surely one of the most-traveled musicians of the past half-century, Weir helped create not only a personal style but a broader school of playing.
