To answer my own question, this was in today's Globe (although I can't imagine he feels the same way 17 years later): But . . . we dug this up in the Globe archives today.

WFAN radio station in New York is reporting that outfielder Jason Bay will sign with the Mets and that the team will announce it early next week. WFAN afternoon host Mike Francesa says the deal is pending a physical. Bay, who spent the last season and a half with the Red Sox, was considered one of the prizes of this year's free agent market. He batted .267 last season with 36 home runs and 119 RBI. The New York Post's Joel Sherman says the deal is for 4 years and $66 million. Bay had previously turned down a 4-year, $60 million offer to remain in Boston.

It is great on Reckoning. Reckoning also has one of my favorite versions of Bird Song (for me, rivaled by the 8/27/72 version).

A studio version of To Lay Me Down is also included on So Many Roads and is listed as an American Beauty outtake from 1970. A different studio version showed up two years later on Garcia's first solo album.

Well we can parse his grammar all day but in his defense he was talking about how it was recorded for Workingmans Dead but that that studio version was not released until So Many Roads, which is correct.
