For Wavy Gravy’s 87th birthday this week, the mail brought me the new Dave’s Picks Vol. 46, featuring the Grateful Dead show recorded at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Sept. 9, 1972.

This show is interesting, with a heartfelt "He’s Gone" since Pig had just recently passed, and a 35-minute "Other One." Wherever you are on The Golden Road, check it out!

The Folk Brothers for May 17, 2023: Remembering Chris Strachwitz

Wed, 05/17/2023 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

OIP.UPEEHhGwY7ODXyOtnUPYyAHaIW.jpeg

Although not a musician himself, Strachwitz -- who passed away last week at the age of 91 -- had an outsize inflience on the world of roots music through his record company Arhoolie, which has been going strong for over 60 years. Strachwitz championed Norh American vernacular musicians -- playing and singing acoustic blues, Norteno, Zydeco, Cajun, and more -- at a time long before the genre we now call "World Music" came into vogue. This morning we heard from a few of the many great musicians recorded on Arhoolie, including that first release by Mance Lipscomb in 1960.
