Hey, now! We just wrapped-up some demo recordings of not-so-obvious Dead tunes that I'd like to share. I tried to get my Jerry on, but it ooks like you can take the blues-y boy outta the idiom, but you can't completely take the blues-y licks outta the boy! www.myspace.com/cowboynealcaI had lobbied for a well-recorded live performance since we're a jam-band, but I'm very happy with the results of the studio experience. Shout-out to Dustin at the Formulation Room off Otto Circle - a very nice big room & an even bigger sound. |

Good stuff, fellas!!
The Dead's opus, like no other except the Beatles, I consider the new classical music, music that will be played as long as people are playing.

Awesome! I especially liked Jack Straw, you captured the "it" factor quite nicely!  |

Thanks for the kind words! It's been a very gratifying time playing the Dead's music with these guys - and like I was telling another musician recently - this is the first time I've "played over changes" to this degree since I first studied guitar with Dave Bezouska at Sunrise Music! I'm ever-impressed with Jerry's compositions, which I loved hearing but never really understood until lately. here's a version of Ramble on Rose from our latest benefit appearance, hittin' the big-time at the Pioneer School Halloween bazaar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GxxhtMEezk |

Garcia had his own unique harmonic language. Like most great artists he had devices he used a lot, for example the bridges that he wrote often went to V minor.
I am in the process of ,looking for some folks to play Dead music and other such.

jerry had extensive knowledge in music theory he was constantly studying and practicing. when he was teaching at guitars unlimited in menlo park he was always there, whether he had a student or not, if not he was on the couch in the back playing. more importantly he listened to every thing,his bluegrass band was awesome,i forget the name of the band, demons or grimlins or something, but they had you listening and diggin it when bluegrass was considered hillbilly music.he and bruce kaphan are the ones who peaked my interest in pedal steel. i will never forget jerry garcia. RIP
