Sometimes you can just tell a concert is going to be magical before the first note is played. It's setting, it's vibe, it's anticipation, it’s a can’t-miss lineup of pickers and singers waiting eagerly in the wings.
Some of the best music Jerry Garcia made in the 1990s came out of acoustic sessions at mandolin maestro David Grisman’s Marin County recording studio, Dawg Music. During Jerry’s lifetime, there were the warm and wonderful Jerry Garcia/David Grisman and Not for Kids Only; then several fine posthumous releases, including Shady Grove, So What, Been All Around This World and The Pizza Tapes.

This interview dates from a couple years before I got on the bus, so I first read it much after the fact, by which time the magazine had long since run out of back issues and was reduced to selling photocopies. I bought one.
Years passed and I met Jon Sievert, who had taken the photo, one of my all-time favorites, as the magazine's staff photographer. He gave me the sad news that the negatives were long gone and I could not buy a photo, but he kindly did some scrounging and found me a copy of the actual magazine.
