R.I.P. — Jerry Garcia (1942-1995)
August 9, 2009
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 gonefor 14 years, as he loomed so large in musical universe at the time of his passing in 1995.
Here are a couple of archival MSD Jerry Garcia posts, videos and downloads. Example #1 Example #2
Rest well Jerry.
