  • “the world’s most recorded musician in the world’s most famous arena”

    Jerrybase: https://jerrybase.com/events/19911115-01 The Red Light folks tagged GarciaLive 16 (MSG 11/15/91) with the subject line, and I have to say that it’s badass. That crew does a good job, IMO. I am not kissing up. It’s a hard job and they have released some amazing stuff. And that’s just a good line. Tip o’ the cap.…

  • Three vast corpora, to start

    As I am writing and looking at the things I may have to leave undone, it strikes me that we have some amazing sources of oral history, which can and should be systematically converted to text for close study by humans and pattern extraction by machines. I have in mind the following sources: Jake Feinberg,…

  • Musician Children of Musician Fathers

    I am identifying lots of musician children of musician fathers in the Garciaverse. So, consider this a request: if you know someone with Spudfactor 1, who is male-identifying, and whose father was a musician, please post to comments. I will start the list here, alpha by last name but presented first-last. Martin Fierro Jerry Garcia…

  • Setting Right What Was Rent Asunder

    Or something like that. Forgive me, for I have sinned. I have added entropy to the world. I am here to make amends. When the Falanga-Menke Stash of Garcia-Saunders tapes from 1974 first came to me, one of them was labeled 8/14/74. I had what I thought was another recording of the show connected to…

  • About Last Night

    Hell may freeze over, but here I am. A new man. (Call it my epitaph for JGMF.) But I am going to post about the Post-Jerry-Garcia-Grateful-Dead-Cinematic-Universe (PJGGDCU). Just read Selvin 2018 for a sense of things. I think Thoughts On The Dead coined an acronym for this which is of course canon. I am just…

  • From JGMF to Fate Music

All of that now needs to go into the Fate Music manuscript. At least, that’s what I expect. It’s certainly not over. Hell, it may thrive. But…
