Garrie Vereen Introductions
compiled by: Sam Holt

Posted on WidespreadPanic.com on 4/26/2011:

The Vereen and Widespread Panic Families again wish to thank the many, many friends who have shared their Love and support during the strange, sad time following Garrie’s passing two months ago.

Garrie’s departure has officially been ruled suicide by the Chief State medical officer. Finally. Presumed details can be found through other “official” news sources; I submit that Garrie found himself in an acute and foreign mental / emotional state of being, and after an extreme and irreversible series of moments, we lost a wonder-full guy.

Obviously, due to the very personal and incomplete nature of the investigation up to this point, it would have been inappropriate to elaborate beyond the original statements presented on the Widespread Panic website.

Fortunately, a long awaited ruling by the case officers, as well as uninformed speculation by a very few did not prevent the most important process to take place. Healing. It will be a long undertaking, but the result will be one that Garo’s Family, Friends, and Garrie himself deserve. Thank you for your continued best wishes for this happier outcome.

Garrie Vereen was a man generous with his laughter, Love of Family, and an enviable gift for revealing strangers as friends to be discovered. You will be sadly and sweetly missed, Garo.

Thanks to all who continue to share the Power of his Kinship.

Sincerely, John Bell

From WidespreadPanic.com following the tragic events of Feburary 16, 2011:

These have been sad, sad days since Garrie’s too soon and sudden passing.

Along with my usual internal mutterings, the phrase “salt of the Earth” is also coming through. Looking up the meaning in today’s words, it translates “Those of great worth and reliability.” That was Mr. Vereen. From the moment he pulled his truck up to our Band house on King ave. to help schlep gear in 1986, Garrie became the ambassador for Widespread Panic to the rest of the music world. He set the example for loyalty, candid honesty, working hard, and a readiness to laugh at any appropriate moment. We benefit from his un-wavering example because he was being all that, and I sincerely submit that he was and is the best of us.

Cub scout troop leader, Habitat for humanity contributor, swimming pool chicken fight champion – Garrie was also the go to guy outside of the rock and roll arena. One of many friends described him as the “neighborhood fix-it man,” helping put things (anything) back in working order when he knew he could be of help.

Back in the day, Garo built a stage for a party out in the country. We came around the next afternoon to pick up our gear, and Garrie was putting the finishing touches on a playhouse for his son, Colin – the stage had been transformed.

Bottom line – He Loved his Family, his work, making friends, having friends make friends; be it structures or relationships, Garrie really liked to build things.

Garrie has been such a good friend to so many; a lot of tears, stories, and healing are now being shared forever. Please remember though, for Garrie and Windy’s Family, especially the littlest ones, re-entry into a “normal,” happy life is hard to imagine right now. As smart as these kids are (and they’re freaky smart), all they can be asked to fathom is that their Dad’s not coming back from this “permanent road trip” (that was nine year old Everett Vereen’s analogy).

Thanks to all who continue to offer the Vereen family their support while respecting the private and delicate nature of these moments and days to come.

We all miss you, Sir.

Widespread Panic
Comprehensive Mix of My Personal Stash

I started listening to Widespread Panic in 1998 after purchasing their first two albums and then Light Fuse, Get Away shortly thereafter. After hearing the live album, I was sold and haven’t stopped listening to them ever since. It’s been almost ten years and after a couple personnel changes I’ve decided that I want to take a break from Widespread Panic for a year or so, but I wanted something to listen to that I could take with me if I needed a quick fix. Something I could listen to in the guitar or strum along with on the old guitar. So I decided to mix up all my Widespread Panic CD’s and condense it as much as possible and I wound up with this 18 disc compilation. It’s not everything I’ve ever heard or have had at some point, but just what I have now. Like this here, is missing: there’s a mystery Fishwater that you’ve just gotta hear that came as filler at the end of my second show 11/17/99 at the Orpheum in Boston, and there’s the second set of the second night of Red Rocks ’03 where there was a Meeting of the Waters > Nebulous > Driving Song > Chilly Water > Imitation Leather Shoes > Chilly Water > Drums > Driving Song > Blight with a Traveling Man in the encore; and of course the acoustic set to start the run off and my first 2nd row center show w/George with the surprise first acoustic set and the second night’s killer Bear’s Gone Fishin’>Jam where I just shut my eyes and watched the light show in my mind. Not to mention the Boston Orpheum show I was at where they covered the whole first set with songs based on animals. That was neat.

No, those are the biggest things missing from this mix, but it’s got just about everything else.

It’s got a sick sandwich from my first WSP show at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton, MA 11/17/98 starring first Little Lilly (instrumental-three times no less,) a Four-Cornered Room and an undocumented possible 2nd ever Tears of a Woman before Drums. This show also had my Sandbox and closed the first set off with Postcard. They didn’t stop the whole time.

This mix has the best version of every song that I have in my collection, and if I had my way it would have a little more. That’s not to say it’s the best version of any song and it certainly isn’t a “definitive mix” by any means. There’s no Space Wrangler. There’s no Meeting of the Waters (a favorite of mine) and there’s no C. Brown. It’s just my favorites of the stuff that I have – by me, for me and I’ve decided that since it’s such a good mix I wanted to share it and I don’t see why I can’t. Maybe letting some of these songs out like this is controvertial. I feel that it might be and I don’t want to offend the band. I’m afraid that with this mix, some people may feel that they’ve got what they came for. Maybe we don’t want them around anyways… But the fact is that they’ve told us we can do what we want with it, so that’s what I’m doing and this is my way to spread the panic. I think it’s one of the most important things that I’m supposed to do while I’m here in PanicLand. Basically, I don’t care – Caveat Emptor – let the buyer beware, and if anyone suddenly finds themselves dissatisfied after listening well, then I think I’d better give them their money back. Nobody’s going to stop listening to Widespread Panic, or stop going to see Widespread Panic just because they’ve heard Opportunity or Wishbone.

But the thing is I’m tired. I’ve got road wear and I don’t even go anywhere. I see them maybe 2 days a year if I’m lucky. But I listen to them all the time. But these shoes are getting old and I’m starting to see an old man when I look in the mirror. REALITY HAS SET IN. When I splash water on my face in the morning it’s like trying to fool myself into thinking that I’m still young; and the only thing that’s been there every day between then and now is Widespread Panic so I’m going to take a step back and try to discover what is Me and what is Widespread Panic because next thing you know I’m going to wonder where not only my youth has gone but my self as well. I don’t want to wake up a stranger to myself.

It’s time to get a life. I’ll be back someday specifically to get old, but until then I hope you all have fun and you all get those songs you’ve been chasing. Have a good time!
