  • Magic at the Edge of the Western World

  • Woody’s Rag

    For years, I have wanted to know the name of the second song from the first “real” live Garcia-Grisman gig, 2/2/91 at the Warfield, which has always just been identified as “Instrumental”. It starts at 7:20 of the embedded video. (It was also the second song of the second night, 2/3/91, starting at about 7:50…

  • The Great Barcia

    Rock Scully’s book occasionally referred to Jerry as “the Great Barcia“. I had originally thought it was Salvador Dalí, but looking back, I guess not. It still tickles me. This just came back to mind as I came across two ads, a month apart, for Reconstruction at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz on 3/31/79. Someone…

  • Picture of the Murdering Punks at the Inn

    A little piece in the from the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat on the tenth anniversary of the Inn of the Beginning in Cotati notes that “A picture spread in the Pacific Sun featured Jerry Garcia and the New Riders of the Purple Sage playing there in their early days”. Great – now I *have* to track…

  • Cotati Cabaret magazine

    Just read that the Cotati Cabaret was doing a magazine (much as its Cotati plaza neighbor, the Inn of the Beginning, had done) in 1979 that was getting a print run of 15k. If anyone has a stash of these somewhere, I would love to consult them. ! ref: Mason, Clark. 19790413a. Life is a…

  • Merl Saunders and the Rainforest Band, featuring Jerry Garcia

    Here’s a weird one bottom of column 1 to top of column 2: “Merl Saunders and the Rainforest Band, faturing Jerry Garcia. Performing music from their album Blues From the Rainforest, July 26 at the Great American Music Hall and July 27 at the Cotati Cabaret” Several possibilities. First, perhaps most likely (?), whoever called…
