Garry Shider's Birth Card: The 4 of Clubs

In the record

Garry Marshall Shider (July 24, 1953 – June 16, 2010) was an American musician and guitarist. The birth-card coordinate for July 24 is the 4 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1997 Performers with Parliament-Funkadelic induction.

The 4 of Clubs coordinate

Garry Shider's birthday maps to the 4 of Clubs (The Systematic Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Garry Shider. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You put knowledge into an order other people can actually use.

Garry Shider in the public record

He was musical director of the P-Funk All-Stars for much of their history. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. Shider was born in Plainfield, New Jersey. At the age of ten and under the guidance of his father Jesse, Garry and his brothers played and sang behind many gospel artists of the time including legends such as Shirley Caesar, The Five Blind Boys, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and others. As a youth Shider was also a regular customer at the Plainfield barbershop owned by George Clinton, where the future members of Parliament would sing doo-wop for customers and counsel local youngsters. Clinton made note of the young Shider's talents on guitar and his ability with gospel singing. By the time he was sixteen, Shider wished to escape the crime and dead-end prospects of Plainfield, so he and his friend Cordell "Boogie" Mosson left for Canada where Shider married and had a son. Shider and Mosson formed a funk/rock band called United Soul, or "U.S.".
