Dawg Music Straight Outta Jersey
By total coincidence, my other musical selection for the day kinda sorta also comes from the great mafia and corruption state of New Jersey... Hackensack this time. I didn't know that Jerry's good friend and Grateful Dead disliker was from Jersey, but low and behold, me and Mr. Grisman are fellow New Jerseyans. I wasn't actually born in NJ but I did grow up there. I'm more Jersey than I am a New Englander. I'm happy to claim both...
and happy to be listening to some DGQ from a little more than a week ago, from some little music festival in Tennessee, Jed, a festival a few people may have hoid of....

I really need to be shot or something for not listening to a David Grisman show more often. What a great bunch of tunes this is! The crowd really digs when David mentions that they're going to play something that he did with Jerry. There was a similar crowd reaction when James Kerwin (who played with Garcia-Grisman) was introduced.
Fun stuff throughout. Grisman, at age 64, is still kickin'... maybe just as strong as ever?!
