(Union Grove, NC is home to a famous fiddlers' convention.) <br /><br />According to Rothman, it was another Monroe show just after the Bean Blossom stop on 5/24/64, and he introduced Garcia to Grisman at Sunset Park, which would've been Sunday, 5/31/64, also featuring Troy Ferguson & Boys, plus Alex Campbell & Olabelle & the New River Boys.Jesse Jarnowhttp://www.jessejarnow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-20281169748746526782023-09-27T10:06:04.730-07:002023-09-27T10:06:04.730-07:00An addition: Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys...An addition: Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys on 5/11/63 at Garfield Junior High School Auditorium in Berkeley. It was Monroe's Bay Area debut. <br /><br />Sandy Rothman: "During the spring of 1963, when Bill Monroe's band with Bill ("Brad") Keith on banjo came through California, almost every banjo player attending the concerts, including Jerry Garcia, was blown away by Keith's revolutionary playing. ... Garcia reacted to Keith's playing immediately. It changed his life, as it did for a multitude of banjo players worldwide, and from that point on I didn't hear Jerry work as hard on any other banjo technique. He appreciated and extended Keith's subtle rhythmic accents, themselves an extension of Scruggs's syncopation filtered through Stover, and with great diligence he set to work mastering the fretboard 'Keith-style.'"<br />https://web.archive.org/web/20160315225004/http://www.thebestofwebsite.com/Bands/Jerry_Garcia/Misc/Rothman/3_Jerrys_Banjo_Years.htm<br /><br />The show can be downloaded here: <br />https://gdarchive.net/Public/Bluegrass/Artists%20A%20-%20K/Bill%20Monroe/monroe1963-05-11.sbd.flac16/Jesse Jarnowhttp://jessejarnow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-79187521776195425872023-03-10T23:12:06.319-08:002023-03-10T23:12:06.319-08:00I knew a girl who swore she stood next to Jerry at...I knew a girl who swore she stood next to Jerry at a Philly u2 show w his daughter.

In an interview dated June 11, 1981, contained in the Italian version of Gans' book, Jerry also talks about the Doors very critically, saying that he listened to a couple of songs and then left because he didn't like them. In the film Festival Express then he can be seen in the audience watching the performance of Sha Na Na very amused. Luckily my phone translates English into Italian and I can finally read a lot about the Dead. Congratulations on what you write, always very interesting and accurate.

On p 26 he says<br /><br />"Jody Stecher and I were the hot mandolin players in New York City at the time. I joined a band called The New York Ramblers. We went down to The Union Grove Fiddlers Competition in North Carolina and we won the contest! Union Grove is a small backwoods town with about 50 people but on Easter weekend 6,000 people converged on the place. We just put a band together to play this show. We had Eric Thompson on guitar, Winnie Winston, the number one banjo player in New York, Fred Weiss on bass and Gene Longer on fiddle. Winning that contest is still the biggest thrill in my life. It was at Union Grove where I first met Jerry Garcia and Sandy Rothman, who were making their own field trip - only they had to travel a little further!"<br /><br />In other interviews Grisman does give Sunset Park, West Grove as the location of the meeting so he is not consistent. <br /><br />If Eric Thompson was present when Garcia and Grisman met, he is probably the mutual friend that introduced them.runonguinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089424718490613109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-37207685225428575072020-09-09T08:10:11.102-07:002020-09-09T08:10:11.102-07:00Union Grove was and is a Fiddler's Convention ...Union Grove was and is a Fiddler's Convention down in North Carolina, not Pennsylvania. I don't believe Garcia ever made it to Union Grove but he was certainly aware of it. <br /> There are many incorrect sources out there that list Union Grove as the place where Garcia & Grisman met but this in incorrect and I think the source of the problem is the name 'Grove' which appears in both West Grove and Union Grove. <br /> Garcia visited Sunset Park in West Grove, PA where he met David Grisman (see McNally 'Long Strange Trip'). Also of note, the first bluegrass festival didn't happen until 1965. Sunset Park had one day events, sometimes with multiple artists but they weren't festivals and there wasn't camping.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075344399264676792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-14832575127442901042020-07-16T01:34:17.040-07:002020-07-16T01:34:17.040-07:00This was the Bulgarian State Radio & TV Female...This was the Bulgarian State Radio & TV Female Vocal Choir at BCT, 11/18/88. <br />I believe Garcia was probably there with friends, especially since one newspaper reported, "Rumors were that members of the Grateful Dead, as well as fans like Linda Ronstadt, Grace Slick and Graham Nash, were to attend."<br />An announcement in the SF Examiner on 11/13 proclaimed, "The music has been praised by progressive American musicians from Linda Ronstadt ('the most wonderful music I've ever heard') to Jerry Garcia ('they're like angels') to Graham Nash ('every musician that considers himself accomplished should listen to these records and rethink everything he knows')."
