Grateful Dead

I did enjoy the Gene Clark book. I’d read other Byrds books in the past (Johnny Rogan wrote a comprehensive one called Timeless Flight), but this one dialled in on Clark, including his post-Byrds career. He really was an under appreciated songwriter during his lifetime, and it took people like Robert Plant to get him the exposure he was due. The Burritos book was a good read, too, as there is not much written about them, although I have a number of books on Gram Parsons.
I’ve read scores of music bios, I find it a fascinating way of life.
Enjoy!

Thatmike, thanks for the recomendations for the Gene Clark and Burrritos books, I didn't know he wrote those. I read some amazon reviews of Tamborine man that weren't very positive. I do like the Springfield book, although it leans heavily on Richie Furey's point of view. I guess that's better than noone from the band commenting. Did yo like Tamborine man?

....Willie Nelson's 90th birthday party at the Hollywood Bowl was a rousing good time to be had by all.

Thanks for the pointer to some great stuff. Loved "My Wife Thinks You're Dead".

Anyone fat in the Junior collection department and would like to share/trade?

I only have two songs by him currently,,, Dead wife which I got off utube and Highway Patrol.

This is one of the great things about this forum, not hockey :-), but pointers to new music.

thanks all!

Alvarhanso -thanks for the tips about Jimmy Herring on youtube - he's clearly an astonishing guitarist. I have just watched the "Within You Without You" clip - it actually made me wonder if I could be transpose it to play on slide guitar in open tuning. Minus about 3 quarters of the notes, obviously.
I also saw an interesting interview with him on playing with both The Allmans and The Dead. Without putting words in his mouth, he seemed to suggest that the biggest challenge was toning his natural speed and aggression down to fit in with and honour the traditions of the two bands. I will have a look at more shows online of him playing with John McLaughlin. I don't think he's the type of musician I could listen to every day, though, excellent as he clearly is.
It reminded me a bit of the 1980's, and this chap I once knew, who was very into technically great guitar playing - of that decade. The only two I can remember that he liked were Joe Satriani - "Surfing The Alien" I think the album was that he leant me - and Steve Vai. I lent him "Europe 72" in return. He was polite - but underwhelmed. I was also polite - but a bit overwhelmed.
All worth checking out though/

....😁.

Big time win. Congrats. Well done.

Despite the victory, Draft-kings still has Tampa as a 2/1 favorite to win the series. Even they don’t believe it.

Hoping for an Oilers close out to make it a great night for all of Canadaland.

....congratulations. The drought is over!
I was watching the Super Mario movie, but I was there in spirit!!
Super Mario featured Donkey Kong, and That Mike mentioned monkeys off his back. Nice.

Heavy Giant King Kong Monkey off the back!
