CUMBERLAND BLUES

Written by Michael Norman Mann

Music by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead

Peter Jones, Sr. came into the town of Cumberland, MD, with two dollars
in his pocket and not a friend in the world. By the time the first night
ended, Jones had found a poker game and won a mining claim, hotel,
general store, and a tavern. Now, all these years later, all he has left
is the Palace Hotel, the Mine, and two estranged sons. The years of
working with coal has given Jones a case of Black Lung and a date with
the grave. With what time he has left, Jones desires one last chance at
reconciliation with his sons, Pete Jr. and Mick.=20

The family reunion comes crashing down when old passions and conflicts
boil to the surface and are left with the sudden death of Jones. Now all
attention turns to Jones's will and the ultimate ownership of the Palace
Hotel and Cumberland Mine. Unable to decide which son should take over,
Jones left all ownership to be settled in an all night, winner-take-all
poker game open to all family and employees associated with the
business.

The twenty song score by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter include "Friend
of the Devil", "High Time", "Attics of My Life", "Touch of Gray", "Easy
Wind", "I Will Love You", "He's Gone", "Deal", "Loser", "Mad", "Brown
Eyed Women", "Boys In The Barroom", "Drunkard's Carol", "Bertha", "Black
Peter", "When Push Comes To Shove", "Cumberland Blues", "Candyman",
"Brokedown Palace", and "Box of Rain" and also including brand new songs
written by Robert Hunter for the show such as "Immigrant"
