This week, the Golden Road takes us across the Good Old USA to Tidewater Virginia and the Hampton Coliseum and then wends its way up the East Coast to the New Jersey Meadowlands for Grateful Dead music from the Fall 1989 Tour. This tour was notable for the first full blown use of the Dead’s new in-instrument synthesizers (MIDI) and the return of Dark Star to the band’s song catalog.

Spend a moment with Joe sanders. Moody Slough (link is external) (Pronounced Moody Slooooo) is an acoustic-based project of original tunes. Joe Sanders appreciates more and more the sound of an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the simplicity it brings while writing a song. Over the years, music has always been his main focus.  When writting his music he didn't see these songs as the beginnings of a project. “Moody Slough” is just the name that he slapped on that project once I figured out that it could really be a project. Joe's ultimate dream is to one day be able to pay his rent and bills through playing music.
