Grateful Dead

found a small typo in Sam's schedule- The 23rd is of course, Friday (tomorrow) not Sunday- A repost follows. unless you can edit the original mayre.. ? :-).. in which case please delete THESE lol!

and I heartily recommend checking this out if Sam's in your town. He's got some fabulous tales and, as he says, a distance of 40 years to put them in perspective. I have to admit my favorite is the one of Mick Jagger squelching a ballistic Bill Graham. I am no fan of Mick, but, priceless.

Will Sam actually be in Toronto? If so, will he be making any public appearances? I'd be very interested, especially if there's an evening talk or some opportunity to meet him. Thanks, Kirsten

the I-House one next week. This book is getting really good buzz and I'm anxious to check it out.

Sam Cutler is doing a North America tour of book-signings and readings of his recently-released book. The book is on available at Amazon and is also on i-tunes as an i-phone ap, read in its entirety in his own voice. A simultaneous release like this is a publishing-industry first. Tonight he is in Portland, where he will do readings as well as signing the book at Powell’s Books on Hawthorne at 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd . He's a wonderfully engaging man- I highly recommended that anyone in the area go, and meet him in person!

I just ordered a book by Sam Cutler about his days managing the Grateful Dead and the Stones. Should be a interesting read. The book is called: You Can't Always Get What You Want: My Life with the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead and Other Wonderful Reprobates. I found it on Amazon.

For all you heads in the academy, and for those of us struggling to follow along, I wanted to share my excitement at a new publication: The Grateful Dead in Concert: Essays on Live Improvisation Jim Tuedio, Stan Spector, eds http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4357-4 My partner, Brent Wood, contributed an essay entitled "The Eccentric Revolutions of Phil Lesh". It is a great piece of work and feels good to see it in print after hours of conversation, listening and writing. He's already published an essay on Robert Hunter's poetry and psychedelic experience and is currently tackling the subject of Jerry & tragedy. These pieces will hopefully appear as a whole book in future. This book is carefully put together with foreword by Stanley Krippner and contributions by the editors, Gimbel, Merriwether... the usual suspects and many others. Great writing, nice organization (tuning, first, 2nd, 3rd sets, encore...) and good ideas! Reads like a good show. Enjoy!

HI-- A friend recently made a video trailer for my Grateful Dead inspired Young Adult book. If you have a second, take a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6FuxGfiVgY Jen

I haven't read the whole thing, but editor Steve Gimbel's essay is great. He examines whether the parking lot vending scene is a critique of pure capitalism or an instance of it. The author did time as a vendor, so his perspective is from the trenches. I enjoyed it! And Bud Fairlamb's essay cites my books a lot, so of course I like that one, too :^) Gans/GD Hour blog
