The friends who joined me for “Sing Me Back Home” on 8/13/05: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, vocals; Klyph Black, bass; Jeff Mattson, guitar; Tom Circosta, vocals; Rob Koritz, drum. Klyph, Jeff and Tom – all members of the Zen Tricksters – have started a band with Donna Jean called Kettle Joe’s Psychedelic Swamp Revue. Also in the band are Mookie Siegel (David Nelson Band), Wendy Lanter, and Tricksters drummer Joe Ciarvella.

This year’s Gathering takes place August 17-20 in the usual place: Mariaville, New York. Bob Weir and Ratdog, Yonder Mountain String Band, Keller Williams, Hot Tuna, Burning Spear, Zero, and many more! I’ll be there, too.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from eDeadshop, an online store offering t-shirts, hats, stickers, tye dyes, gifts and other rock and roll items – officially licensed merchandise from the Grateful Dead, Phish, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd and many others.
And from the Black Crowes, on tour all summer long with Robert Randolph & The Family Band and Drive-By Truckers. The Black Crowes nationwide tour starts Saturday, June 10th at White River Amphitheatre in Seattle and ends August 12th at Red Rocks. more information at blackcrowes.com and livenation.com
This is boggling my mind. I could have sworn I heard some live female version of “Tangled Up in Blue” at about half past the hour (on WXPN in Philadelphia, if that makes a difference), but I can’t remember who did it and it’s not appearing in the playlist. A shame, because it was by far the best recording of the song that I’ve ever heard and I’d like to track down a copy.
Not from my show, but it may be from Mary Lee’s Corvette “Blood on the Tracks” – a fine CD!
