  • GSCBF update

    I have updated a few GSCBF posts. GSCBF3: I have reframed (and gained confidence in) my argument that the Debbie reels are basically a continuous record of Sunday afternoon. GSCBF4:  I have new insight into the circulating “Frank Wakefield” set from this festival, which is actually the Greenbriar Boys  from Sunday ca. 15:00

    I am going to probably do a series of posts on the Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival, which was held in San Rafael from April 26-28, 1974. I have become rather obsessed with this festival. It barely gets mentioned in most Dead-/Jerry-ology, but I think it provides a fascinating glimpse into all kinds of things:…

  • Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival

    Gotta whole mess o’ discs from this festival, which I am going through pretty methodically. Lots of neat stuff. There’s a four CD version going around, but there’s more material that I’ll try to get moving around.
