Columbus Dispatch review of TIAAD
Margaret Quamme reviews This Is All a Dream We Dreamed in the Columbus Dispatch Sunday, January 17, 2016
‘”Although the book’s ideal reader is probably a passionate fan, even the casual observer will find plenty to relish, including nuggets such as an account of a surreal concert at the pyramids in Egypt, and comments such as manager Rock Scully’s on the importance of having Pigpen McKernan — whose drug of choice was alcohol — in the band: “When Garcia’s guitar neck turned into a snake, Pigpen saw it as a guitar; Jerry could rely on him to do that.”‘

WHARF RAT
It’s a Hand-Me-Down is my new album of Grateful Dead songs, made possible by a Kickstarter campaign that many of you contributed to (thank you!!). This version of “Wharf Rat” is slightly edited to comply with FCC regulations about “bad language,” but the one on the album is intact. It’s available on CD, in high-res, via iTunes and other download sources. Request it from your favorite radio station!
