Forum MVP John A Posted August 8, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 This McNally quote is gold: “With that first tape, you’re hearing him mostly strum. And what’s striking about that tape, among other things, is the way people glued onto this 18-year-old kid. He had a presence as a performer that was way beyond his skills as a player from day one. There’s just something about his personality, and that’s why he had an audience spellbound at 18.” https://www.relix.com/articles/detail/bluegrass_boy_inside_the_new_box_set_exploring_jerry_garcias_early_acoustic_era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted August 9, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks for the share John. Cool that Miksas was basically a fan and did all this research to make this happen, starting by just calling Dennis McNally out of the blue. Dennis gives him 2hrs on the phone.. cool stuff.

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted August 9, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm a big bluegrass fan and also really enjoy this early era Garcia stuff, what I heard of it anyway. Lots of details about this era in the book Garcia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
