The Group In and Around the Sarah Era: Boarding House, 1/24/73
LN jg1973-01-24.jgms.early-late.sbd-nfagdtrfb.100216.flac1644 update: this post has so many old links to the evil db.etree – please never use that URL. Substitute etreedb wherever you see db.etree. Thank you. (Man oh man does Blogger’s formatting suck. One can’t compose online, because stuff can get lost [viz my long beautiful post on Wales-Garcia 1/26/72]. One can’t compose…

The Merle [sic] Saunders Experience: Boarding House, January 25, 1973
LN jg1973-01-25.jgms.early-late.sbd.7670.shn2flac1644 Introduction Not long ago I posted a set of notes on JGMS 1/15/73 at the Inn of the Beginning, the second known date (and the earliest circulating tape) of the Garcia-Saunders-Kahn-Vitt group to include singer Sarah Fulcher. The Sarah Era, as I’ll call it, holds lots of appeal: she’s a mysterious figure about…

Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got)
LN jg1974-08-11.jgms.all.aud-falanga.6382.shnf I wanted to listen around August 1974 a bit more, to see if there was anything else like the mystery trumpet player on “8/15/74”. So I checked out 8/11. This strikes me as one of the weaker shows of this great month, though it’s been so long since I listened to most of…

Reading Notes: Tolces, Todd. 1973. Jerry’s Bluegrass Boys. Melody Maker 48 (April 28): 35.
Tolces, Todd. 1973. Jerry’s Bluegrass Boys. Melody Maker 48 (April 28): 35. A FEW POINTS TO EXTRACT: First, I believe the interview material and show observations are from March 13, 1973 at the Keystone in Berkeley. He only mentions it as a quartet, so I doubt there was a fiddle player there. Here are setlist…

Grisman officially released the whole show in 2008, though all links to download it seem to be dead. Some notes. Old And In The Way “Unknown Location, October xx, 1973” Boarding House October 8,…

NRPS: Gypsy Cowboy (Columbia KC-31930, 1972)
Anyone know the recording location/dates of this album? I assume that this was at Heider’s, since the great Stephen Barncard gets production and engineering credits. I see there’s a blog called “Recording Wally Heider” … I’d love to see more emerge there, though I haven’t really poked around. Anyone know the release date? Since the…
