Jake's Leg at Clayton's Parties in the Park, 7/9/08
An eclectic mix of deadheads and business-types populated Shaw Park in Clayton on Wednesday night. Jake's Leg, a Grateful Dead tribute band, brought out the free spirits who jigged and swayed next to clean-cut business types who may have been called "The Man" or the "Establishment" only a generation ago. These photos capture the diversity.
People still found time to take care of business.
