DEAD HEADS AND SUCKERS! Roots Of The Grateful Dead # 2
Crockett-Ward & His Boys got it right! ( for me any thing past Jerry Garcia's death in 1995 fell into the "Sucker" category..but that's just ME!!) - Let's further explore the deep roots of tunes recorded by the institution known as THE GRATEFUL DEAD. Why? - because THEY were the first to introduce me to all things musical Americana - Of course, I went backwards from there but so did they! We Bid You Goodnight, Stealin', CC Rider - we will play the originals of tunes famously played by the Dead as well as tunes they flirted with throughout their long career
