Reading Notes: McNally 2015
McNally, Dennis, ed. 2015. Jerry on Jerry: The Unpublished Jerry Garcia Interviews. New York: Black Dog and Leventhal Publishers. I didn’t quite know what to expect.

“The Little Cash Cow” – JGB, Early 1980
Last weekend’s post “On the Bus with the Garcia Band” looked at the November-December 1983 JGB tour’s extensive ground travel – everything was by bus, 3,000 miles on the road in a few weeks in the eastern time zone.

The McNally-Arnold Jerry Garcia List
It’s very meta, but I do have a lot to say about The List Tradition which I hope to get to. Let me just point out something that I think is interesting: The Garcia stuff on the typescript McNally-Arnold Jerry Garcia List (McNally and Arnold, ND), which became the Garcia list in Deadbase IX, entered the…
