Paul HasselhothWhy is Billy Strings seemingly plagiarizing Garcia? Very unsettling but maybe I'm missing some backstory . . .

“The Captain”, my 1995 eulogy for Jerry Garcia, now for “the joker”, Bob Weir

katch wreckthe Hunter/Garcia song "Mission in the Rain" is not a particularly difficult tune to play, from a technical standpoint... but neither is it easy, and it _does_ have an interesting form!
since i've never seen a very detailed 1-page chart for this one, i made my own :)
Aaro Koskinen"Down In The Groove" by #BobDylan. One of the lowest-rated Dylan albums. Not so bad after all. Getting older one starts to dig everything about the 1980s...
There's "Death Is Not The End" later covered by #NIckCave. Also two #RobertHunter collaborations with #Dead members contributing on backing vocals.
