This week we have a very special edition of the Golden Road featuring the mighty fine music of the David Grisman Quintet! Over the last forty years or so, David Grisman (aka Dawg) has carved out a unique musical space called Dawg music, which is a blend of jazz, bluegrass, gypsy jazz and folk. Backing the Dawg was a great band with great players that included Tony Rice, Todd Philips and Darol Anger (and later Stephane Grappelli). Featured tonight is Dawg music from 1977 to 1979. Amazing music in our humble opinion. And rounding out this week’s broadcast are a couple tunes by Jerry Garcia and Dawg from their release So What. Now get comfy because there is lots of great picking and playing this week!
