Sone great suggestions on your playlist. Jerry doing Tangled Up in Blue is something I return to often - it's just magisterial. Did Jerry cover Ring of Fire? I'd love to hear it if he did. Could you maybe point me in the right direction?

What a great thread, from so long ago--just before I signed on too!
Happy up coming b-day, early, Rob!
It's great having you around here.

The suggested tune is even now more apropos (methinks).

I checked on DeadBase and the boys only did five November 13 shows
11-13-66 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, Ca.
11-13-70 46th Street Rock Palace, Brooklyn, N.Y.
11-13-72 Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall, Kansas City
11-13-78 Boston Music Hall, Boston, Ma.
11-13-87 Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, Ca.
So maybe not too much to go on there...

Actually, I found the 40's to be rougher on most people, including me. Things seemed to turn around and smooth out once the 40's are over (divorces and job changes, etc.)
I'm pretty sure my paternal grandfather's roots came from Scotland. He was short, wiry with jet black hair and sky blue eyes. Always had a soft spot for Scotland, moreso than Ireland. I'm also a big bluegrass fan, and I believe those roots run in the same direction. The drone influence from the bagpipes - got translated into the dulcimer and the way
the vocal harmonies developed, the audioharp as well.
The Dark Star from 11/13/72 is worth getting - it's Owsley's audience tape, not too bad.
I know what I was doing on 11/13/72, heh, heh. How about you??

Have to say I'm a bluegrass fan myself - maybe it has something to do with the musical inheritance, or maybe its because I just relate to the description I once heard of bluegrass as total misery at breakneck speed!
I'll be sure to check out the 11/13/72 Dark Star - thanks for the pointer. I'm currently downloading and very much enjoying another November show - 11/17/73 at the Pauly Pavilion. Haven't heard it all yet but its shaping up nicely - an attention-grabbing China Cat jam and a very sweet and tender Row Jimmy among the highlights so far. Even the blessed Donna appears to be having a good night!
Thanks for the good wishes, Doc. Much appreciated.
