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 of this recording.)

Well, the great Neil V. Rosenberg, whose book Bluegrass: A History, is totally essential, has sent along an identification. It’s “Woody’s Rag”, written by the one and only Woody Guthrie, and done among others by The Weavers.

Thank you, Professor Rosenberg!
