Q: Who is Carini?

Pete Carini is Henrietta's drum tech (as Trey announced after the 6-25-97 Antelope when he thanked the crew). He is mentioned in the song variously known as "Carini", "Carini With a Lumpy Head", "Lucy with a Lumpy Head", and "Lucy".

The rest of the lyrics remain a mix of mystery and rumor, and were reportedly responsible for the song being dropped after the early-1997 Europe tour, although it was busted out again 12-30-97, during which Pete was brought onstage to wild applause and again 4-98 when Carini chased someone across the stage. (Also from that show, listen for Henrietta's Carini chant during Antelope). (Thanks also to Jon Worley and Dan Hantman.)

Lucy may be a dog who "had cancerous lumps on her head and one day walked off by herself, presumably to die." (Adam Wiggin, 2/19/03)



You know, there's this core of music floating around the universe, and then there's like a bunch of bullshit all around it because music is such a powerful thing. -- Trey Anastasio, to Addicted to Noise, c. 6/95
