R.I.P. — Jerry Garcia (1942-1995)
August 9, 2010
It’s no secret around here that Jerry Garcia has probably influenced my musical tastes more than any other musician. His talent, musicianship, demeanor, spirit and legacy are America personified and are uniquely his. From his virtuosity on the banjo, pedal steel, acoustic and electric guitar, his piano tinkling, etc., Jerry always had a vision for his music and usually got what he wanted. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone for 15 years, as he loomed so large in mine and many others’ musical universe at the time of his passing in 1995. Jer’, I think about you and/or your music everyday. Thanks for joy, wit, wisdom and love you gave through your music.
Trey’s new axe
August 6, 2010
Last night, Trey unveiled his new Languedoc, which has an ocelot on the headstock and is made of koa. In listening to last night’s show, this thing has excellent tone. Nice work, once again, Paul!
“Me and My Uncle”
August 6, 2010
Being that this was the Dead’s most performed song in concert (616 times!), you’d think the song was theirs. Not so. It was written by John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas in a tequila soaked evening with Judy Collins, Stephen Stills and Neil Young that he didn’t even remember, which leads us to this interesting anecdote:
- “John often used to tell the story behind “Me and My Uncle”. Years ago he began receiving publishing royalties from a song on a Judy Collins record with which he was unfamiliar. It was titled “Me and My Uncle”. He called Judy to let her know of the mistake because he hadn’t written any such song. She laughed and told him that about a year before, in Arizona after one of her concerts, they had a ‘Tequila Night’ back at the hotel with Stephen Stills, Neil Young and a few others. They were running a blank cassette and John proceeded to write “Me and My Uncle” on the spot. The next day, John woke up to the tequila sunrise with no recollection of the songwriting incident. Judy kept the cassette from that evening and then, without informing John, recorded the song for her own record. Over the years the song was recorded by several people, and eventually became a standard of the Grateful Dead. John used to joke that, little by little, with each royalty check, the memory of writing the song would come back to him.”
