Who Are You?
Where Are You?
How Are You?
Those words were printed on the inner liner notes of the Grateful Dead’s 1971 album of the same name.
They added a mailing address, and asked their fans, known as DeadHeads, to write to them. The
Grateful Dead opened a line of communication with those three questions. No band had ever tried to
do that before. It was revolutionary.
Thousands of DeadHeads responded. The Grateful Dead took those names, and created a mailing list.
The band used that list for 50 years as a way of staying in touch with its fans.
-----
Please allow me to ask you the same three questions:
Who Are You?
Where Are You?
How Are You?
And in addition, I have a few more questions for you:
Do you like what we are doing here at The Recovering Urchin?
What should I be writing about?
What can I do to help support your recovery?

Write to me at TheRecoveringUrchin@gmail.com, and I promise I will respond.
With Love,
The Recovering Urchin
