Location: Scotland | Cliff, You know, outside of the Dead, Garcia played some great music, especially Old & In The Way and New Riders, but I'm with you on the dead, yawnsville. |

Don't forget the Mickey Hart solo album on which Garcia is credited with playing "insect fear" on one track. Personally got no idea how to tune an insect fear, but I know how to tuna fish.
"Hooteroll" with Howard Whatsisname was the only album Garcia played really well on outside the Dead - on all the others he played nice banjo or mediocre pedal steel. The bands (New Riders, Old and in the Way) played some really nice stuff, but that's cos Dave Nelson was a man with talent.
The real musical talent in the Dead was and is Phil Lesh, and to a lesser extent Bobby Weir. Phil lesh, as a matter of interest, has kept British modern, experimental classical music (and really horrible most of it is) alive for the last 20 or more years with direct gifts of money to composers. Not many do that kind of thing. Least of all our endless succession of philistine governments.
Here endeth the lesson for today. |

Location: Scotland | I aggree, Garcia is a mediocre pedal steel player, but decent banjo player (I can't believe I've actually said that!) I did a bunch of gigs with Peter Rowan in the 80's and he always spoke very highly of Garcia |

Kaki is in the new Guitar Player Magazine with a lap steel (my first instrument) and her Adamas. They said nice things about her, which she certainly has earned. |
