For this edition of The Golden Road, we are joined in the K-DIRT studio by Lee Maddex. The material on this broadcast was hand picked by Lee under one of The Golden Road credos...."you pick 'em, i'll play 'em!".

The sounds on this particular show are an excellent look at The Grateful Dead in all their 1970 glory...the first portion of the broadcast is an all-acoustic performance from Chet Helms' Family Dog Ballroom out on San Francisco's Great Highway. The band billed themselves as Bobby Ace and the Cards From The Bottom of the Deck and Mickey Hart & The Heartbeats so they didn't have a room full of fans expecting a typical live Dead show from that era.

The second portion of the broadcast is the back half of one of the band's most legendary performances from the Fillmore East on 2/14/70. An electric powerhouse which included a short-lived tune in their repetoire by the name of Mason's Children. Seek out the rest of the show...you won't be sorry for the effort!

Enjoy!

About Wayne Hagen

Wayne is a founding member of the California Jug Band Association (CJBA) and a member of its Board of Directors. In 2002 Wayne and his banjo-playing buddy Andy began the International Jug Band Festival in Sutter Creek, California. The festival has given birth to new jug band festivals as far away as Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the CJBA.

Wayne has been playing jug since 1979 and he'll pull out his jug and play with anyone. He also tries to play the mandolin and is a big fan of Vol Stevens and Yank Rachell. His passion for jug band music has turned him into a walking encyclopedia of the genre. Go ahead, ask him a question -- we dare ya. He says that getting a chance to share his love for jug band music on KDRT is a great joy.
