Bio
The Grateful Dead was always known for generosity and the performance of numerous benefits.In the fall of 1983, the Rex Foundation was established as a non-profit charitable organization by members of the Grateful Dead and friends. The Rex Foundation enabled the Grateful Dead to go beyond responding to multiple requests for contributions, and proactively provide extensive community support to creative endeavors in the arts, sciences, and education. The first benefit concerts for the Rex Foundation were held in the spring of 1984 at the Marin Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium. Since 1984 the Rex Foundation has granted $8.4 million to over 1,000 recipients... .. With the death of Grateful Dead lead guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995, the Rex Foundation lost a friend and board member. With the cessation of Grateful Dead touring, Rex lost its main source of funding, and until now has limited its grant making to three annual awards. Current board members have reaffirmed the importance of the Rex Foundation and their desire to have the foundation once again carry out its mission in full force. (Please see Archives to check out all of the activities that have supported our renewal.).. .. Continuing to embody the spirit of generosity and concern that evolved in the culture surrounding Grateful Dead concerts, the Rex Foundation is on a new path that seeks to include and engage many people. With activities that honor the spirit of community, service and creativity, Rex is building the funding necessary to carry out our mission. Thanks to the resounding response of so many generous supporters, since December 2001 we have granted $1.05 million to 199 programs, across the United States and internationally. We plan to multiply our grant making each year so that we can continue to support many grassroots programs across the United States and beyond that might otherwise be overlooked by mainstream foundations, yet work in innovative and bold ways to bring about helpful responses to local and global challenges... ..

- The ALL NEW GYPSY RIDER…2 years ago
Come check out the music we're making. We just started work on our Album and you can have a listen to our new song "When I Win That Lottery". Hey now we got a new act together and we opened for Mr. Blotto last week as our first show. This project started as a result of the guys from Blotto and Chester Brown having a jam stage at Blottumnal Equinox. Erik Larsen and I started playing together that night and have no plans on stopping. We added a rhythm section and we will be playing all over the stateline area so keep a look out for THE ALL NEW GYPSY RIDERS. Thanks to Mike and Paul and them Chester Browns. ALL ABOARD.

I hope you enjoy these Merl Saunders performences I'm releasing from my TV show, "Tim's Sundog Show". The master VHS tapes are deteriorating after 11 years, so I'm recording them to Youtube with the help from my director Billy Bongwater. The Mayor of the City of Madison Wisconsin was on the show to proclaim April 11...th 1999, "MERL SAUNDERS DAY" on the Tim's Sundog Show. I will be releasing more clips from David Gans, Justin Kreutzmann, Vince Welnick, and more!
