A commenter asked last night if I had any other information about the Spinners, or the Family of Unlimited Devotion. I mentioned them in a post in December.
Coincidentally, I stumbled across this tonight while I was sniffing around for information about the Dead's performances in Telluride, Colorado, 20 years ago. Those performances coincided with the Harmonic Convergence.
I have no way to reach the commenter. Maybe he or she will see this.
"The Family" or "The Church of Unlimited Devotion" was a cult. It was a mini-culture with a somewhat authoritarian leader.
There were good things and bad things...
...and there was Jerry.
It's all over now....

Most spinner family went south to a ranch in Mexico, I was not family but was a tweener (a spinner without religion?). They helped me Orlando 91 and I returned the favor pronto. Annie herself looked at me in astonishment! "no one pays us back" who are you? (The Traveler!) after that if i was every hungry or without a ticket they threw down consideration. Don't know where in Mexico... only that if i did know, i could never tell! :) Peace to all of you.
