The Jerry boxed set

I've been working my way through the wonderful All Good Things release shipped to me the other day with two bonus CDs from the new Jerry Garcia store. The bonus stuff is great, plus I'm realizing that I never gave the second Garcia (known as Compliments in the vulgate) a fair listen. It's much more hip than the reedy thin covers of Beatles and Stones songs had suggested to me originally. The alternate take of Russian Lullaby on one of the bonus CDs is pure gold, with Richard Greene (Great American String Band, Old and In the Way) sounding a lot like Stephane Grappelli on a Hot Club of Paris tune. I still need to report on the recent Dead conference in San Antonio as well as the upcoming Festival Express movie release, but I'm busy with deadline and I have been planning to convert this blog over to a different engine that I use for most of my websites now. Then I saw they added comments here at Blogger so I thought I just had to check that out.
