SWEET BABY
Keith & Donna @ Winterland
"Sweet
Baby" Link: HERE
I first met Zion Rock Godchaux when he was about nine months old at his home in
Stinson Beach, California. He is a picture perfect baby with jowls like his
Dad, Keith Godchaux. He is in the kitchen sitting
with a cookie, and I watch his little fingers play with the cookie, and he
didn´t put it in his mouth, and he was very
content. Donna Jean Godchaux, his mom, shares how
Jerry Garcia came over one day and started to draw "Zion´s thoughts".
They superimposed Jerry´s art work over a picture of Zion, on the cover of
their first album, Keith & Donna. That evening was so special. I am sitting
with Keith in the living room while Donna is putting Zion to bed. She sings to
her baby in complete surrender, powerful, loudest,
best ever sound. Like an angel she can sing! I felt goosebumps
from her tremendous love and light, and I´m sure the whole town could hear her.
Now that Zion is grown, he has his own musical band,
BOOMBOX´, and playing music with Kinsman MacKay, his brother from the same
mother.
