He was a really gifted player- and Garcia must have taken his extended solo thematics in part form Lederman. That he knew Owsley of acid fame- provides another possible connection with Garcia- whose fame was enhanced through the acid tests with Ken Kesey.<br />Im at www.wildernessroad.net and played a lot of guitar back in the day- and five string banjo...best to Mrs. Lederman , Warren Leming<br />merle newgrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356748580792170493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-82759626760630728292017-02-21T13:38:49.711-08:002017-02-21T13:38:49.711-08:00Perry appears in Rhoney Stanley's biography Ow...Perry appears in Rhoney Stanley's biography Owsley and me.

If you like acoustic Zeppelin, and their blues facet, check it out...it is a must have. Then buy the CD: This World Is Not My Home. Whether you like Dylan, Garcia, Page, Guthrie, Leadbelly...the CD should be in your collection! <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-40939951610355803632013-07-28T10:11:55.888-07:002013-07-28T10:11:55.888-07:00Anon, thanks for the perspective.
