Zakir Hussain, left, confers with Mickey Hart backstage after Sunday's performance of Global Drum Project at the Bardavon Opera House in Poughkeepsie, NY. Mickey was one of two drummers who kept the beat for the Grateful Dead, playing in tandem (the other was Bill Kreutzman, who is not part of the project). Notice the hearing aid in Mickey's left ear -- good reason to wear hearing protection at concerts. Tomorrow we'll have a photo from the performance. Photo by Eric Francis / Book of Blue.
