The stories Sam shares are pure gold, giving us insight into the rich friendship and creative energy that flowed between Jerry and David. It’s like stepping into a time capsule, filled with anecdotes, life lessons, and the kind of wisdom that comes from living in a world where music was a constant, harmonious presence.
    Sam also lets us in on his latest passion project, the Sam Grisman Project. The band's mission is to keep that timeless spirit alive while adding their own flavor to the mix. Sam talks about the joy of collaborating with friends who share his love for this unique blend of acoustic and electric sounds, making every show a celebration of musical heritage. Sure, they face their share of challenges, but they never lose sight of the joy in every note they play.

Reverend Jeff

I can’t remember the last time I got this much pleasure listening to a podcast. The two of y’all are a trip. I enjoyed just hearing the laughter. I would show up every Sunday to hear the two of you preach. The stories, experiences and love shared was palpable. I’m waiting for part 3. Seriously, thank you both for these conversations. It was good for my soul to hear such down home truth.

Like I’m hanging with friends!

Thank you thank you Mike and Oteil for putting your time and energy into this podcast! I’m raising a teenager with multiple learning disabilities and mental health challenges-while managing mine and my spouse’s bouts of anxiety and depression (and all the physical upkeep of peak middle age!), caring for aging and ailing parents, and a woman living in a red state. This show brings me so much peace and connection-as a Deahead, as a spiritual person, as a deep thinker and sometimes just someone who wants to escape and feel a broader connection. I appreciate your vulnerability, your laughter and your love for each other and of course, music. You both bring me through some dark spaces like I’m just hanging out with my besties. Please keep on keepin on!
