Jerry Garcia interview with Greg Harrington 7-10-81, St. Paul MN

NOTE: This will be a different offering. It is mostly talk and very little music, BUT last week a buddy (from community radio) sent me a 2 disc interview with Jerry Garcia on 7-10-81 in room 1503 in the Raddison Hotel in St. Paul MN.)
The description reads :
"This is one of the only candid interview tapes of Jerry in circulation. it starts with a journalist named Greg Harrington asking some very intelligent questions about all types of topics and Jerry is very warm and generous during the interview. Later, a few heads joing the party and the tape keeps rolling. This tape is a rare glimpse into the wonderful mind of Jerry Garcia."
